שתיתי
פאר טסי Lyrics

The lyrics of פאר טסי's song "שתיתי" depict a complex emotional journey of trying to cope with the end of a relationship. The singer begins by expressing a mix of sadness and happiness after a period of being in a relationship and then re-entering the world as a single person. They reflect on their unexpected feelings of sadness and the need to find moments to be alone to process their emotions. The line "I am the king of the world" seems to convey a sense of self-assurance and independence, despite the emotional turmoil they are experiencing.

The singer then describes being picked up by a friend and getting ready to go out, trying to distract themselves from their thoughts by dressing up and going out. However, they feel unsettled by the attention they receive from others, feeling a mixture of flattery, nervousness, and deceit. This suggests a struggle with moving on and pretending everything is fine when deep down, they are still struggling with the breakup.

The chorus reveals the singer's attempt to numb their pain by drinking excessively in order to forget about their ex-partner. The mention of other women flirting with them and the lingering scent of their ex suggest that despite their efforts to move on, their feelings are still tied to memories of the past. The imagery of being in a room filled with smoke and the beat of a familiar song represents the haze of alcohol and nostalgia clouding their judgment.

As the song progresses, the singer comes home exhausted, having forgotten everything that happened earlier in the night. They ignore missed calls and accusations of being drunk, focusing only on the memory of their ex-partner's eyes. The disorientation they feel while trying to navigate their way back to reality highlights the struggle to come to terms with their emotions and find closure.

The final verses express the singer's continued attempts to escape their pain through drinking, but ultimately realizing that the only solace they find is in memories of their ex. The battle between logic and emotions is evident as they acknowledge that their heart still longs for their past love. Despite seeking refuge and trying to distract themselves, they end up alone, trying to capture the essence of their ex-partner in their mind. The repetition of seeking solace through alcohol and the mention of well-known figures like Alon De Loco and פאר symbolize a search for strength and catharsis in music and external influences. The plea for a little more to drink can be seen as a cry for a temporary escape from the pain, seeking a brief moment of joy in the midst of heartache.
