Lyrics and composition
"Parking Lot" features a heavy, loud sound synths opening, that make way for the percussions, influenced by 80s synth-pop and hardcore music. The rest of the song mixes electronic sounds with a very notable base of punk rock and garage, with elements of hyperpop and industrial. The synths are a very distinctive element during the run of the track.

The songs moves around the plot of a character living inside of his car, at the parking lot of a supermarket, reflecting the feeling of abandonment or disinterest. In the music video, Rittsem characterizes his recurrent character, Kamran Thrust, for the first time in 3 years, who is living in his car, and eventually going through a psychotic attack. Rittsem also confirmad that this video is 'highly related' to the music video for Rolv's "American Boulevard", implying that there will be a continuation for both music videos.
