The song "Jolly Rang(ch)er" by Lean Ghoul talks about the experience of getting high on lean, a drink made with prescription-strength cough syrup, soda, and candy. The lyrics mention the effects of lean and the feeling of seeing the world through rose-colored glasses, even though the heart feels dead. The song also discusses the use of other drugs like codeine and phenobarbital and the feeling of being accused or judged when angry. The lyrics also talk about the singer's experience with drugs, including smoking purple skunk marijuana and taking Taz, a form of ecstasy. The song describes a feeling of detachment and disconnection from reality, as well as a sense of escapism and disorientation. The chorus repeats the phrase "Jolly Ranger in the cup," referring to adding Jolly Rancher candy to lean, which is a common practice to enhance its flavor. Overall, the song portrays a world of drug use, escapism, and detachment from reality, while also expressing a sense of rebellion and rejection of societal norms. It reflects a darker and more dangerous side of drug culture, with imagery of space travel, delusion, and slow-moving bullets. The song's outro repeats the idea of seeing the world through a hazy, drug-induced lens and the presence of Jolly Rancher candy in the cup.
