I guess I'm not alright!
I just can't tell what is real anymore
I'm trapped in my own hell!
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I know this can't be real
This negativity
Is dominating and smothering me
I just can't breathe!
And I just can't tell what is real anymore Bullet for My Valentine – No Way Out

The setting of Crown The Empire’s The Fallout is a world where a war ensued, leading to bombs being dropped on the majority of the populated areas of Earth, causing a nuclear winter across the land.
Due to the spreading of nuclear fallout in the atmosphere, the sun is hidden from view from the surface. It’s been so long that the main character has trouble recollecting what the sun looked like.
Below the surface, figuratively, the protagonist in this concept album is describing that he can’t remember the last time he’s felt happiness; love, self generated or from a (romantic) companion without being betrayed by them.

When someone rubs Krizz the wrong way, he’ll smack them so hard their shirt will detach from their body. Clothing will disappear, along with the victim’s masculinity, as they’ll lose their ability to have sex.
Also note the brief alliteration, which may be an indirect acknowledgement of Tech’s earlier one:
I slap the shirt off a super simpleton makin' em be impotent
If and when I be flippin', niggas be feminine
The same technique is followed through on the next line as well:
