It’s as if Steele knew that he might die at an early age. Specifically on World Coming Down, which is bleak even for Type O. In addition to “Everything Dies,” The song “Everyone I Love is Dead” is particularly prescient. The album was written at the heights of Steele’s addition to cocaine, which is referenced in “White Slavery.” In fact, the escalating heartbeat after the snorting sound on “Sinus” apparently made Steele uncomfortable because of its realism.
