Steve Lacy explores the complexities of modern relationships on “Doom Lyrics,” an atmospheric and introspective record featured on his third studio album, Oh yeah?.
Released on July 17, 2026, the song serves as the sixth track on the project, delivering a thoughtful blend of alternative R&B, indie influences, and emotionally layered songwriting.
Written by Steve Lacy alongside Matthew Castellanos and Aaron Maine (Porches), “doom” presents a reflective shift from the album’s earlier themes of heartbreak and unrequited love.
With its subtle irony and deeply personal perspective, the track captures the realization of wanting something meaningful after repeatedly avoiding genuine intimacy.
“Doom” highlights Steve Lacy’s ability to transform everyday experiences into compelling musical narratives, making it a standout moment on Oh yeah? for listeners drawn to thoughtful lyrics and alternative R&B sounds.
Doom Lyrics!
[Part I]
[Intro]
Uh[Pre-Chorus]
Just got a word, I heard I’m a bit shitty
Damn, what a pity, but I smell so pretty
Oh, to be a villain livin’ in Sin City
Everybody does it, but nobody talks
About how they feel until it’s too late
Shit piled up, but now[Chorus]
It’s doomsday, day (Do-doom, doom, do-doom, doom, doom, do-doom)[Verse]
I’m a big baby suckin’ on big titties
Karma’s a bitch and I bet she’s pretty
Life in a freaked-out generation
Everybody fuckin’, but nobody gives a
Fuck ’bout love, just validation
Shit pile up, but now it’s doomsday
I want us, but now it’s too late
Yeah, I could heal, but easier to speed date
I’ve found my head up my ass
I’ve been an asshole in the past
Know I’m better than that
Can’t wait to show someone[Pre-Chorus]
Just got a word, I heard I’m a bit shitty (Oh)
Damn, what a pity, but I smell so pretty
Oh, to be a villain livin’ in Sin City
Everybody does it, but nobody talks
About how they feel until it’s too late
Shit piled up, but now[Chorus]
It’s doomsday, day (Do-doom, doom, do-doom, doom, doom, do-doom)
Day (Do-doom, doom, do-doom, doom, doom, do-doom)[Bridge]
In the valley
Of the shadow of death
Drain my body, all gone
Buddha, backseat of the SUV (Better go, better go, better go)
Now we fuck until it brings world peace (Better go, better go, better go)[Chorus]
It’s doomsday, yeah (Do-doom, doom, do-doom, doom, doom, do-doom)
Doomsday, yeah (Do-doom, doom, do-doom, doom, doom, do-doom)[Outro]
Doomsday alert, but I’m still willin’
Na-na-na-na, hope it’s no hard feelings
Guess it all depends on the situation
Everybody does it and nobody talks
About how they feel, but now it’s too late
Ain’t no run-and-hide on doomsday
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah[Part II]
[Verse]
Goodness gracious
I can’t think straight
Where’s my stamina, doot-doot?
Losin’ focus
Losin’ patience
I need silence from you[Chorus]
Blah, blah, blah, blah (Ooh)
Shut the fuck up (Ooh)
Blah, blah, blah, blah (Ooh)
Shut the fuck up
Blah, blah, blah, blah (Ooh)
Shut the fuck up (Ooh, shut the fuck up)
Blah, blah, blah, blah (Ooh)
Shut the fuck up
