I have selected to do a blog format called, Album progressive analysis where I look at and analyse the progression of song to song and the overall journey this causes the album to have as a whole  if it has one at all.
This sort of blog format is not necessarily going to always be riddled with deeper meaning rather I will typically reflect upon each track and find a deeper meaning from a stand out lyric.

Earl Sweatshirt lead the way with the release in 2015 of I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside.
I chose to do entries like this as a exercise of analysing particular lyrics from a current album, and the impact which these lyrics can have upon its consumers.

Track One: Huey
Foot and hand on the gates
We was jumpin’ em, fuck, I’m like quicksand in my ways

This lyric is symbolic of rising above past demons and restrictions, it is important to note that due to this being the opening line of the album that this lyric has a heavy amount of symbolic meaning for Earl himself as an artist, potentially could be perceived him coming to terms of the death of his grandmother and over coming his past demons.

Track Two: Mantra
You used to say you like violins and your lifestyle depend on me

This lyric off mantra uses the instrument Violin as a representation of Earl as an artist exclusive to his career. The violin is typically defined by being a somber sad instrument, and the use  of the term “used to” highlights a shift in someones perspective upon him.

Track Three: Faucet 
And I don’t know who house to call home lately
I hope my phone break, let it ring
This highlights a feeling of isolation and loss. In this lyric Earl demonstrates his feeling of disconnectedness from those around him, and how its left him just feeling like he wants to be alone, so he can find himself once again.

Track Four: Grief
And all I see is snakes in the eyes of these niggas
This lyric emphasises through utilisation of the notion of eyes being the windows of the human soul, to highlight the lustful and toxic motives of individual human beings, who are working on a typically hedonistic mind set.

Track Five: Off Top
I’m only happy when there’s static in the air Cause the fair weather fake to me
This line symbolises cynicism within Earl, and further can be applied to those who feel affiliated with this line, It sums up the idea of things being so good its uncomfortable because something is sure to go wrong soon, rather Earl through this lyric highlights that fair weather feels like a false concept, i.e. nothing can be 100% good all of the time, thus being discomforting when it is.

Track Six: Grown Ups (feat. Dash)
Don’t know where I’m going, don’t know where I been
This lyric highlights although the rest of the album as whole emphasises Earls growth as an artist and his maturing into his own persona, a sense of uncertainty of self, however he is aware of his success his journey isn’t as black and white as it might seem, and even those who seem to have it all together might get a little scattered now and then in regard to where their life is leading them.

Track Seven: AM//Radio (feat. Wiki)
Probably cold and passive
Cause pops was the one that got to me
Feeling down like he passed it
This passage emphasises the impact which a loss of father can have on an individual, it shows that however his father left at the age of 6 Earl still holds the weight of the burden which being left has had upon him.

Track Eight: Inside
And lately I don’t like shit, I been inside on the daily
This line builds upon the overall dissatisfaction expressed by Earl throughout the album with the outside world, due to his being the final line of the song it leaves the listener empathising with Earl and his growing alienation from the outside world.

Track Nine:DNA
Cleanse Sunday, binge Monday
This entails the idea of using drugs as an escapism mechanism, and the process of binging verse cleansing, while cleanse has connotations of getting clean, when combined with the binge it just outlines the notion of a chasing life style.

Track Ten: Wool
Pistols rip his body apart, now he afraid of dark alleyways
Through this lyric Vince (a guest on the track) shows the negativity associated with mass gang street violence, and the habituated fear which enters those who play witness to it.
