Itchyworms Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dahil wala ka na
Nakatingin sa salamin
At nag-iisa
Nakatanim pa rin ang gumamelang
Binalik mo sakin
Nang tayo'y maghiwalay
Ito'y katulad ng damdamin ko
Kahit buhusan mo ng beer ayaw pang mamatay
Giliw wag mo sanang limutin
Ang mga araw na hindi sana naglaho
Mga anak at bahay nating pinaplano
Lahat ng ito'y nawala
Nung iniwan mo ako
Kaya ngayon
Ibuhos na ang beer
Sa aking lalamunan
Upang malunod na ang puso kong nahihirapan
Bawat patak anong sarap
Ano ba talagang mas gusto ko
Ang beer na to o ang pag-ibig mo
Nais kong magpakasabog
Dahil olats ako
Kahit ano hihithitin
Kahit tambucho
Kukuha ako ng beer at ipapakulo sa kaldero't
Lalanghapin ang usok nito
Lahat ay aking gagawin upang hindi ko na isiping nag-iisa na ako
Ibuhos na ang beer
Sa aking lalamunan
Upang malunod na ang puso kong nahihirapan
Bawat patak anong sarap
Ano ba talagang mas gusto ko
Ang beer na to o ang pag-ibig mo
Giliw wag mo sanang limutin
Ang mga araw na hindi sana naglaho
Mga anak at bahay nating pinaplano
Lahat ng ito'y nawala
Nung iniwan mo ako
Kaya ngayon
Ibuhos na ang beer
Sa aking lalamunan
Upang malunod na ang puso kong nahihirapan
Bawat patak anong sarap
Ano ba talagang mas gusto ko
Ang beer na to
Ang beer na to
Ang beer na to o ang pag-ibig mo
The song "Beer" by Itchyworms is a lament of a person who has been left alone by their partner. The lyrics convey a sense of loneliness and desperation as the singer drinks away their sorrows in an attempt to forget about their failed relationship. The first verse begins with the singer expressing a desire to get drunk because the person they love is no longer with them. They stare at their reflection in a mirror, feeling alone and pitiful. The second verse talks about the memories they had together with their former partner, like their plans for the future, which all disappeared when the partner left. The chorus echoes the sentiment of drowning their heartache with beer, contemplating which is more satisfying, the drink or the love they lost.
The next verse talks about how the singer plans to drink himself to the point of oblivion to forget their sorrows. The imagery of boiling beer in a pot shows the extremes to which the singer is willing to go to forget their past relationship. The chorus repeats once again, questioning what the singer wants more, the beer or their lost love.
Overall, the song is a melancholic representation of someone grappling with the aftermath of a failed relationship, where the drink is a means to escape the constant pain and loneliness they feel.

Nais kong magpakalasing
I want to get drunk
Dahil wala ka na
Because you're not here anymore
Nakatingin sa salamin
Staring at the mirror
At nag-iisa
And feeling alone
Nakatanim pa rin ang gumamelang
The camellia is still planted
Binalik mo sakin
You gave it back to me
Nang tayo'y maghiwalay
When we broke up
Ito'y katulad ng damdamin ko
It reflects my feelings
Kahit buhusan mo ng beer ayaw pang mamatay
Even if you pour beer over it, it won't die
Giliw wag mo sanang limutin
My love, please don't forget
Ang mga araw na hindi sana naglaho
The days that should not have disappeared
Mga anak at bahay nating pinaplano
Our plans for children and a house
Lahat ng ito'y nawala
All of this disappeared
Nung iniwan mo ako
When you left me
Kaya ngayon
So now
Ibuhos na ang beer
Pour the beer
Sa aking lalamunan
Into my throat
Upang malunod na ang puso kong nahihirapan
So my heart, which is struggling, can drown
Bawat patak anong sarap
Each drop is so enjoyable
Ano ba talagang mas gusto ko
What do I really prefer?
Ang beer na to o ang pag-ibig mo
This beer or your love?
Nais kong magpakasabog
I want to explode
Dahil olats ako
Because I'm a failure
Kahit ano hihithitin
I'll smoke anything
Kahit tambucho
Even a flashlight
Kukuha ako ng beer at ipapakulo sa kaldero't
I'll get some beer and boil it in a pot
Lalanghapin ang usok nito
I'll inhale its smoke
Lahat ay aking gagawin upang hindi ko na isiping nag-iisa na ako
I'll do everything to avoid thinking that I'm alone
Ang beer na to
This beer
Ang beer na to
This beer
Ang beer na to o ang pag-ibig mo
This beer or your love?
