If one is looking for a gentle pop tune, “800db cloud” is not the song for them. Standing as one of the bigger hits of off 100 gecs' debut album 1000 gecs, the song has an element of duality to it. While the lighter parts are reflections by Laura Les on a relationship affected by changes in her life, the harder parts are exclamations by both members about their attachment to drugs and fortune, to the point of using them as unhealthy coping mechanisms.

“db” refers to “decibels,” or the unit of measurement for the “loudness” of something in acoustics. As especially strong weed is called “loud,” the song’s title describes a cloud of weed smoke so potent that it’s deadly.

For reference, anything at 140 db or more can cause immediate hearing loss, as well as pain. The loudest “sound” ever experienced on Earth was either the eruption of Krakatoa or the explosion of the Tunguska meteor, both at around 310 db, causing massive damage upon their respective occurrences.

An even louder live version of the song was performed on Adult Swim’s FishCenter Live, and later repurposed for the 2020 Square Garden Music Festival:

Ultimately, it would be included as a bonus track on 100 gecs' following remix album 1000 gecs and the Tree of Clues.
