The new generation of white hats are pretty damn disappointing. They don’t talk about hip hop and only make drama threads about their last terrible drama thread being deleted. They are stuck in a cycle of their own stupidity.
But in all honestly I don’t really care

Refinement and Accomplishments
This is believed to be a reference to the Noble savage, a philosophical concept popular during the Age of Enlightenment which calls out the moral and ethical implications of Sir William’s innocent and uneducated remark. This is a wonderfully subtle reference to an underlying theme of the debate between the philosophies of rationality and sentimentalism.
Darcy’s haughty reply reveals Sir William’s polite conversation to be nothing but that.
This is another of the novel’s comments upon the notion of accomplishment as nothing but superficial refinement. Being good at dancing was considered a necessary accomplishment for both a lady’s and a gentleman’s education; however, it is a thing that even an uneducated person can do.
Darcy is stepping out of the social norms expected. Here he is blunt whilst in a room full of people who are watching him. During this time period both women and men, especially those of the higher class, were expected to conduct themselves a certain way.

The person Eyedea is referencing lost all their control to cocaine which comes in a powdered form, hence why he refers to it as such.
And that’s causing the death of his friend as the life leaves his eyes like a fish deprived of what it needs to live with its eyes dilating and slowly dimming into death
He is also referencing the nature of life. From dust to dust. With breath life is made with on living elements. It seems to also reference “Powdered Water”, where he states “you’re just a fish like me swimmin' in the powdered water.”
This annotation is missing the reference to some of his earlier work, on ‘First Born’ he has track 3 “Birth of a fish” then track 4 and 5. ‘Powdered Water Too’ part 1 and 2.

I think this line is actually about someone who wholeheartedly committed themselves to something fake, only for them to become shocked by the revelation. Much like an earlier Eyedea story, this “fish” is dealing with the reality of “the powdered water”

I think even though he says “you” i think he is referencing himself. Any eyedea fan would know that he was a drug addict so to me it would be strange for him to call someone out over an addiction. I think he shifts between the words “you, your” and “I, my, me” but he really is talking about himself the entire time and he did that because he was getting in extreme detail about his addiction.
