Blown
I'm so blown
I'm so blown
I'm so blown
I'm so

Pulled up to the outing
And we off the loud
Feeling good, looking good
They said they fuck with my style (ooh, I could dress)
I kinda smiled, sat on the couch
And then I pulled out my phone
See a text from my mom
Asking when will I be home (where you at nigga?)
Prolly three, I don't know
That shit is always unknown
I heard a girl just say, "Excuse me boy, I like your cologne"
Probably thinks you tryna smash
I'm tryna get you alone
You know I'm kidding, would have said it
But was just too blown

Blown
I'm so blown
I'm so blown
I'm so blown
I'm so

Overall Meaning

In Steve Lacy's song "Atomic Vomit," the lyrics of the chorus repeat the phrase "I'm so blown" four times. The term "blown" typically refers to being high or under the influence of drugs, but its usage in this song is not limited to just that context. The narrator of the song talks about his experience at an outing where he and his friends were "off the loud" (likely high on marijuana) and feeling good about themselves. He receives a text from his mother asking when he will be home, but he doesn't have an answer because plans seem to be constantly in flux when you're high.

The narrator then interacts with a girl who compliments his cologne but implies that she thinks he's trying to have sex with her. The narrator jokes that he would be interested in pursuing her, but he's too "blown" to actually make a move. The word "blown" in this context could also refer to being overwhelmed, distracted, or simply too out of it to act on an opportunity. The lyrics and melody of the song have a dream-like quality to them, which matches the feeling of being under the influence of drugs.

Overall, the song "Atomic Vomit" explores the theme of being "blown" or under the influence, and how it affects one's behavior and decision-making. The narrator struggles to make sense of his surroundings and interact with other people while in this state, which makes for a thought-provoking and introspective piece of music.
