Blackout
Breathe Carolina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cut up and I can't feel my hands,
No need to chase.
Can you relate?
Can you keep up the pace like you're dying for this?

And when you say "I'm not okay"
I left my phone in the cab
But you can't get me.

I'm only getting started
I won't blackout
This time I've got nothing to waste
Let's go a little harder
I'm on fire
I won't blackout
I'm on my way

I'm only getting started

And I can't see your face
Cigarette the wrong way
Inhale to the top of my lungs
I've been dying for this

And when you say "I'm not okay"
I left my phone in the cab
Now you can't get me

I'm only getting started
I won't blackout
This time I've got nothing to waste
Let's go a little harder
I'm on fire
I won't blackout
I'm on my way

I'm only getting started
I won't blackout
This time I've got nothing to waste
Let's go a little harder
I'm on fire
I won't blackout
I'm on my way

I'm only getting started

This won't stop till I say so
This won't stop till I say so
This won't stop till I say so
Going and going and going and going and go

This won't stop till I say so
This won't stop till I say so
This won't stop till I say so
Going and going and going and going and go

I'm only getting started
I won't blackout
This time I've got nothing to waste
Let's go a little harder
I'm on fire
I won't blackout
I'm on my way

I'm only getting started
I won't blackout
This time I've got nothing to waste
Let's go a little harder
I'm on fire
I won't blackout
I'm on my way

I'm only getting started

This won't stop till I say so
This won't stop till I say so
This won't stop till I say so
Going and going and going and going and go

I'm only getting started

This won't stop till I say so
This won't stop till I say so
This won't stop till I say so
Going and going and going and going and go

I'm only getting started

Overall Meaning

The song "Blackout" by Breathe Carolina is an upbeat pop-rock track about living life to the fullest and not holding back. The lyrics describe a scene of partying and letting go, where the singer feels the rush of excitement and adrenaline. The first verse talks about being "cut up" and not feeling one's hands, likely due to being intoxicated, but there's "no need to chase" anything because the moment is fulfilling enough. The singer then asks if others can relate to their experience and keep up with the pace they're living at, as if daring them to join in the fun. The chorus is a declaration of not holding back, promising to keep going without blacking out - a reference to passing out from too much drinking. The bridge adds to the picture of chaos with a cigarette being lit the wrong way and the singer inhaling deeply, "dying for this" experience. The second verse repeats the first, but the outro emphasizes that the party won't stop until the singer says so.


Overall, the song celebrates youthful recklessness and the desire to live life to the fullest. While it's not necessarily a positive message to encourage drinking to excess, the lyrics can also be interpreted as a metaphor for taking risks, pushing oneself to the limit, and not letting fear hold one back. The upbeat tempo and energetic guitar riffs enhance the feeling of excitement and intensity expressed in the lyrics. It's a song that invites the listener to let loose and have fun, even for just a few minutes.

Blackout

Cut up and I can't feel my hands
No need to chase
Can you relate?
Can you keep up the pace like you're dying for this?

And when you say "I'm not okay"
I left my phone in the cab

Let's go a little harder
I'm on fire
I won't blackout

I'm only getting started

And I can't see your face
Cigarette the wrong way
Inhale to the top of my lungs
I've been dying for this

And when you say "I'm not okay"
I left my phone in the cab
Now you can't get mad
I'm only getting started

I won't blackout
