Overdose
AC\x01DC\xE6\xB1\xA9 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I never smoked me no cigarettes
I never drank much booze
But I'm only a man, don't you understand
And a man can sometimes lose
You gave me somethin' I never had
Pulled me down with you
Hit me with a big chunk of love
Hope you can pull me through

I overdosed on you
I overdosed on you
Crazy, but it's true
Ain't nothin' 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 wanna break
Don't want me none of that harder stuff
Don't need it anymore
I'm in love, and I'm sinkin' fast
And I don't need no cure

I overdosed on you
I overdosed on you
Crazy, but it's true
Ain't nothin' I can do
I overdosed on you

Gee, I was happy as a man could be
Too far gone to save
Died of love, and plenty of
Just write on my grave

I overdosed on you
I overdosed on you
Crazy, but it's true
But nothin' I can do
I overdosed on you

On you
On you
On you
All over you
All over you
Ooh, yeah, oh
I overdosed
Overdosed




Overdosed on you
Overdosed, yeah

Overall Meaning

In "Overdose" by AC/DC, the lyrics reflect the overwhelming intensity of love and how it can consume us like an addiction. The singer begins by stating that they never engaged in vices like smoking or heavy drinking, but they acknowledge their human vulnerability to emotions and the potential to lose control. The person they are singing to has given them something they never experienced before, an intense and potent love that has the power to bring them down and overwhelm them.


The singer admits to being in a state of intoxication from this love, describing it as an overdose that they cannot resist or escape. Despite the craziness of the situation, they are helpless in the face of this overpowering emotion. The addiction to this person is so strong that they feel they have no control over their actions or feelings.


The lyrics convey a sense of surrender to this all-consuming love, likening it to a habit that they never want to break. The singer rejects the idea of needing anything more intense or harmful because they are already deeply in love and falling fast. The love they feel is portrayed as a cure in itself, something that they are willing to embrace fully without seeking any remedy.


As the song progresses, the singer expresses ultimate contentment and ecstasy in their love, despite knowing that it may be too much for them to handle. They metaphorically speak of dying from love and being so immersed in it that nothing else matters. The repetition of the phrase "I overdosed on you" reinforces the idea of being overwhelmed and consumed by this intense love, to the point where it feels like a drug they cannot resist.


Overall, the lyrics of "Overdose" by AC/DC encapsulate the theme of being hopelessly addicted to love, experiencing it in its most potent and extreme form. The song communicates the intoxicating and overwhelming nature of love, portraying it as a force that can both lift us up to euphoria and bring us crashing down in a state of blissful surrender.
