of his past over a simple piano loop in the background. "Do You", with its monotonous beats, contained the core message of the mixtape advising listeners to lead an autonomous life free from society's standards. The following track "Awakening" delved into RM's internal conflict over his identity of "idol" versus "artist" before retorting his haters in the track "Monster" and demanding that his listeners discard their prejudice and bias in "Throw Away". In "Joke", RM showcased his rap techniques with stream of consciousness lyrics, while "God Rap" reflected RM's atheist worldview that only oneself controls one's life decisions and deals with its consequences, that having faith in yourself is the key. In "Life", RM presented an examination of life, death and solitude with calm, composed rapping leading into the track "Adrift" which contemplated the meaning of life and happiness. The final track "I Believe" concluded the mixtape with RM's trust in himself and his determination to continue forward.
