Andrea Turk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought I did it right again
went overboard this time
I did it on my own again
treaded unsteady lines
I know it’s a problem but
I just wanted hands to fall
into when i fuck it up
[VERSE 2]
Im coming down
Face to face withdrawal
Im coming down
Filling the space that’s all
I did it all
Don’t even know what for
Im burning out
Won’t ever, ever, ever love again
[PRE-CHORUS]
Ah Uh Ah ah Uh
Don’t wanna let you go
Ah Uh, Ah Uh
Dont leave me on my own
Ah Uh Ah ah Uh
Don’t wanna let you go
You’re what I want the most
I don’t wanna overdose
[CHORUS]
Ah Uh Ah ah Uh
Don’t wanna let you go
Ah Uh, Ah Uh
Dont leave me on my own
Ah Uh Ah ah Uh
Don’t wanna let you go
You’re what I want the most
I don’t wanna overdose
[VERSE 3]
Thought I wanted body to body
But I wanna love somebody
Told myself i wasn’t ready
don’t wanna face reality
Thought I wanted body to body
But I wanna love somebody
Told myself to keep it steady
But I lack functionality
[VERSE 4]
Im coming down
Face to face withdrawal
Im coming down
Filling the space that’s all
I did it all
Don’t even know what for
Im burning out
Won’t ever, ever, ever love again
[PRE-CHORUS]
Ah Uh Ah ah Uh
Don’t wanna let you go
Ah Uh, Ah Uh
Dont leave me on my own
Ah Uh Ah ah Uh
Don’t wanna let you go
You’re what I want the most
I don’t wanna overdose
[CHORUS]
Ah Uh Ah ah Uh
Don’t wanna let you go
Ah Uh, Ah Uh
Dont leave me on my own
Ah Uh Ah ah Uh
Don’t wanna let you go
You’re what I want the most
I don’t wanna overdose
[OUTRO]
I don’t wanna overdose
I don’t wanna overdose
I don’t wanna overdose
I don’t wanna overdose
In the song "OVERDOSE" by Andrea Turk, the lyrics explore themes of inner turmoil, emotional dependency, and the fear of losing oneself in unhealthy patterns. The singer expresses a sense of self-awareness and recognition that they have once again gone too far, perhaps by seeking solace in the wrong places or relying on external sources for validation. This introspective journey is depicted in the opening verse, where the singer acknowledges their struggle with balance and the desire for companionship in moments of distress.
As the song progresses into the chorus and pre-chorus, the desperation and longing for connection become more palpable. The repetition of the lines "Don't wanna let you go" and "You're what I want the most" suggests a deep emotional attachment or reliance on someone or something as a source of stability or comfort. However, there is also a sense of internal conflict as the singer grapples with the fear of losing control and potentially "overdosing" on this intense emotional connection.
The lyrics in the bridge and subsequent verses further delve into the singer's conflicting desires and internal struggles. The juxtaposition between craving physical intimacy ("body to body") and yearning for emotional connection and love highlights a deeper emotional complexity. The hesitance to face reality and confront one's own emotional needs is a recurring theme, emphasizing the difficulty of navigating relationships and self-discovery.
The song's outro brings the narrative full circle, reiterating the haunting refrain of "I don't wanna overdose." This repeated plea serves as a poignant reminder of the singer's fear of losing themselves in destructive patterns or relationships, highlighting the fragility of human connection and the importance of self-preservation. Overall, "OVERDOSE" by Andrea Turk is a raw and introspective exploration of emotional vulnerability, dependency, and the struggle to find a balance between longing for connection and the fear of losing oneself in the process.

I thought I did it right again
I believed I made the correct choice once more

I went too far beyond what was needed this time
I did it on my own again
I tackled the situation by myself once more
treaded unsteady lines
I navigated through uncertain paths
I know it’s a problem but
I am aware it is an issue but
I just wanted hands to fall
I simply desired for support to be available
into when i fuck it up

so i don’t gotta be alone
so I don't have to face it alone
Im coming down
I am descending from a high

don’t wanna face reality
Avoiding confronting the truth
Told myself to keep it steady
Encouraged myself to remain stable
But I lack functionality
However, I am unable to function properly
I don’t wanna overdose
I do not wish to exceed the limit
