Wit & Attitude Quote by Eric San

Claustrophobia makes a great metaphor because it refuses to stay metaphorical. Eric San’s line lands like an after-action note from the middle of a spiral: not a grand confession, just a blunt sensory report. “Eventually” tells you this wasn’t a sudden shock; it was accumulation, the slow stacking of nights, noise, substances, people, pressure. “Really crazy” is intentionally unspecific, the kind of shorthand you use when the details are either too messy to narrate cleanly or too incriminating to pin down. It’s a musician’s language of compression: you gesture at the chaos and let the listener supply the rest.

Then he pivots to the body. “Less and less oxygen in the apartment” reads like an environmental fact, but the subtext is about agency draining out of a room. Oxygen becomes a stand-in for space, clarity, even morality. Whether the apartment is literally packed with smoke and bodies or psychologically shrinking under paranoia and overstimulation, the image captures how a creative scene can turn from thrilling to suffocating without changing its outward aesthetics. Same four walls, different physics.

There’s also an implicit comment on urban living and touring culture: the apartment as studio, crash pad, afterparty, hiding place. When your home becomes the venue, boundaries collapse. San’s intent feels less like romanticizing self-destruction and more like puncturing it, insisting that “crazy” isn’t glamour, it’s respiratory. The line sticks because it’s not poetic on purpose; it’s the kind of truth that shows up when the vibe has already gone bad.
