Overdose
AC/DC渀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never drank much booze
But I'm only a man, don't you understand
And a man can sometimes lose
You gave me something I never had
Pulled me down with you
Pulled me up, think I'm in love
Hope you can pull me through
I overdosed on you
I overdosed on you
Crazy but it's true
Ain't nothing I can do
I overdosed on you
Oh woman you give to me
More than I can take
But listen honey, I don't mind
You're a habit I don't want to break
Don't want none of that hard stuff
Don't need it anymore
I'm in love, and I'm sinking fast
And I don't need no cure
I overdosed on you
I overdosed on you
Crazy but it's true
Ain't nothing I can do
I overdosed on you
Gee I was happy as a man could be
To far gone to escape
Power of love, don't pull me off
Just write on my grave
I overdosed on you
I overdosed on you
Crazy but it's true
Ain't nothing I can do
I overdosed on you
On you, on you, on you
All over you
All over you
Overdosed
Overdosed
Overdosed on you
Overdosed on you
In AC/DC's song "Overdose," the singer opens the song by acknowledging that he has never smoked cigarettes or drank much alcohol. However, being only human, he understands that he can make mistakes and get pulled down by others, in this case, a woman who has given him something he's never had before. He expresses his love for her and admits that he cannot resist her, as he has become addicted to her love, similar to being addicted to drugs. Hence, he overdosed on her love and that there is nothing he can do to overcome this addiction.
The chorus repeats the verse's opening lines where the singer repeats that he overdosed on this woman's love and that it is crazy but true. He further emphasizes that he is so much in love with her that he cannot imagine living without her. The singer requests her not to pull him out of this and that when he is gone, let it be known that he overdosed on her love. The song encapsulates the sense of obsession that comes with pure, intense love that can make one go to any extent.
