Cough Syrup: BNXN & Victony Float on a Laced, Addictive Closer
Cough Syrup, the 15th track on CAPTAIN, sees BNXN linking with Victony for a woozy, hypnotic slow-burner that makes the album a highly addictive and emotionally hazy note. It’s the perfect song – smooth, intoxicating, and laced with quiet vulnerability under its confident exterior.
Built around syrupy synths, slow-tempo log drums, and melodic layering, Cough Syrup lives up to its name. The production is dreamy and slightly psychedelic – a sound that feels like drifting, as though the artists are floating between clarity and confusion, love and lust, pleasure and pain.
BNXN leans into his melodic strengths here, crooning with a blend of longing and calm bravado. His lyrics paint the picture of someone numbed by emotion or desire, using the metaphor of cough syrup as a stand-in for the addictive pull of someone or something he can’t seem to shake. It’s emotional escapism – sweet, dangerous, and hard to let go.
