WHOT Episode 157 – “Whatever Lets You Cope” by Black Foxxes

Hosted by Mangus Khan

[Static. Then silence. Then the guitar stumbles in—tentative, cracked. You already know this isn’t going to be easy.]

“This is Late Night Grooves.
WHOT.

Episode 157.

And I’m Mangus Khan.

Still here.

And tonight… we’re not trying to rise above anything.

We’re just trying to make it to the other side.

Black Foxxes – “Whatever Lets You Cope.”

And this one?
This one isn’t loud until it has to be.

It’s about the way grief leaks into routine.

It’s about how some days survival looks like pretending to be okay just long enough to avoid the questions.

“I’ve been lying to my friends / For a little while now…”

That lyric?
That’s not drama.
That’s self-defense.

This song is the internal monologue most of us have learned how to bury.

The guitar barely hangs on.

The drums move like breath—shaky, uneven.

The voice?
It’s not asking you to feel bad for it.

It’s just telling the truth.

And here’s the truth this track gets right:

Coping doesn’t always look healthy.

Sometimes it’s detachment.
Sometimes it’s sarcasm.
Sometimes it’s not returning the call.

But it’s what gets you from one breath to the next.

And that’s what this episode is for.

Not healing.

Just honesty.

So if you’re here right now, listening in the dark—
Trying to make sense of the pieces that haven’t come back together yet—
This one’s for you.

Episode 157.
Black Foxxes.
Whatever Lets You Cope.

This is Late Night Grooves.
WHOT.

And I’m Mangus Khan—
Not asking you to be okay.
Just here to remind you:

***Whatever lets you cope…
Is enough.

Tonight.***”
