Music and lyrics

In this project, Lil Peep expresses vulnerable themes of a severed relationship. Including: depression, drug addiction, ghosting, heartbreak and nihilism. All of which themes, are common with the emo rap genre.[2][3][4] His lyrics also commonly bring up his substance abuse.

The single "praying to the sky", has been highlighted as depicting such themes very highly. Melanie Westfall from The Daily Texan, related the blend of emo and rap to the song. With lines such as, "I found some Xanax in my bed/I took that shit went back to sleep/They gon’ miss me when I’m dead/I lay my head and rest in peace". While alluding that "there is a tendency in this genre to use self-medication for mental health issues".[5][6] Peep confirmed on Twitter that he was "on acid" when making the song.[7]
