It's like a medication... for my soul. I like to kick back and just relax with a monster in.
Pre-Chorus-
I like the feeling. It's burning. I like the feeling cuz I'm turning. Now where's a bottle. I need to use one. Now could pass one. I'd appreciate it.
Chorus-
Now that your feeling is loud. Don't forsake me now. Take a pinch of me now.....
Verse 2-
All my problems... seem to drift away. I know that one day I will quit, but for now I'm just okay....
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Pinch of me now....pinch of me now... pinch of me....now
Pre-Chorus
The song "Pinch of Me" by 4-Seamer talks about using substances as a form of escape from the pressures of life. In the first verse, the singer compares the effects of using these substances to medication for their soul, allowing them to relax and unwind with a drink by their side. The pre-chorus talks about the addictive nature of this feeling, the burning desire to keep using and the willingness to do anything to get more of it. The chorus is a plea to not abandon the singer when they're in need, to take a pinch of them when they're feeling low, as if they too were a substance that could provide that same escape.
In the second verse, the singer admits that they know they should quit, but for now, they're content with using their crutch to alleviate their problems. The pre-chorus repeats with the same sense of urgency as before, needing and wanting more of that burning feeling. The chorus ends with a repeated plea to take a pinch of the singer, making them feel as if they are more than just a person, but a substance to be used for that same escape.
Overall, "Pinch of Me" is a raw and honest depiction of the addiction cycle and the destructive nature of using substances as a coping mechanism.
