The Party's Over
90LB.Wuss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Choking victory dry
Don't panic simply randomly
So what she has alzheimers
Mathematically epileptic
If she don't wet her pants first
The problem a constitution null and void
Who's to look for your disclaimer?
The question then becomes fragmented
Jaded, or confused
Everyone gets together
Vibrations named ourselves
Don't cry this inauration day
Best pillows I ever felt
Is it fulfilling?
Collectivism, discipling, unionism
Trading souls to never fill your void
Labor $10 minimum
She's still dying and wets the bed again
Who's more frustrated?
Me or you or you or me
Take a look
What is conception
Some frivolous game puts children on the street
Her disease is still the same
Old and stiff and angry, birth to death
What have you left, but a small space inbetween
Don't waste your time it's short
Primal language of new born infants
Choking ignorant
Raised deaf, dumb and blind
Age old desire
In solitude of other brainwashed has-beens
Incontinent failure
None of us survive
Survive fire
We all die too young
The lyrics to the 90LB.Wuss's song "The Party's Over" may seem disjointed at first, but upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that they are commenting on the frailty of human life and society's obsession with material possessions. The opening line "Crash triggers clinging chokers" could be referring to the aftermath of a party where people are trying to hold onto their last bit of fun before it's all over. "Choking victory dry" could be interpreted as the victory being so great that it suffocates those who achieve it. The line "Don't panic simply randomly" is a nod to society's obsession with controlling everything, even when it's impossible to control. The following line "So what she has Alzheimer's" is a reminder that life is unpredictable and can be taken away at any moment, even to those who seem untouchable.
The lyrics continue to explore society's norms and expectations, with lines such as "The problem a constitution null and void" suggesting that the laws meant to protect us are no longer functioning, leaving individuals to fend for themselves. The line "Is it fulfilling?" is a question that society should be asking itself more often, as it seems we have become so caught up in the acquisition of things that we forget to ask whether they bring us true happiness or fulfillment. The song ends with the line "None of us survive, survive fire. We all die too young", a stark reminder that life is short and unpredictable, and that we should be living it to the fullest while we still can.
