Dey Hynes hat in einem offenen Brief auf Facebook das Rassismus-Problem der USA thematisiert. Aus dem Duktus des Posts spricht gleichzeitig Angst, Trauer und Wut. Diese Emotionen hat Hynes zusätzlich in einem neuen Song festgehalten. »Do You See My Skin Through The Flames« ist ein gut zehn Minuten langer Spoken Word-Track, in dem Hynes auf äußerst sanfte Art und Weise seiner Frustration Luft macht.

Hier der Text des Stücks:

frustration and depression breaks me down
descending like they wanted underground
the further our journey the less you care
that’s why you laugh at Kanye when he’s talking in a chair
but the same conversation but replaced,
is good enough for laughs or a smile on your face,
happy to be singing all our songs to survive,
but when we need help, you don’t get off til 5.
it’s powerful to feel so alone in a group

let me break this down for you and tell you how we feel again,
your fear is all you hold on to, so when you see me it’s not fair
i have nothing left to give when you don’t notice what is wrong,
Charleston left me broken down but it’s just another day to you

i ain’t got nothing left to give you
and i’m too tired, to even talk about it
while watching the fire,

tasting pain coming from a place of truth

to be another in a messy world
to feel like giving in another turn?
you wouldn’t listen if i told you

so how can i become anyone?
