staring at the bottle

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Staring at the bottle
Will you be my friend tonight?
I've been feeling kind of awful
Since I found out 'bout these lies
Drowning in the sins
I have never seen before
I gotta survive, I gotta survive
Can't do this on my own

I am broken (oh, oh)
I'm in pieces on the floor
My mind goes round, round, round to the bottom
Girl, I am shaking (oh, oh)
Don't know how to take this
Oh, my mind goes round, round, round to the bottom

Staring at the bottle
Will you be my friend tonight?
I've been feeling kind of awful
Since I found out 'bout these lies
Drowning in the sins
I have never seen before
I gotta survive, I gotta survive
Can't do this on my own

It's surreal (oh, oh)
I don't know how to solve
I've been so down, down, down
Going loco
Crying a river
Pick me up and keep me warm
I've been so down, down, down
Going loco

(Oh, I've been)
Staring at the bottle
Will you be my friend tonight?
I've been feeling kind of awful
Since I found out 'bout these lies
Drowning in the sins
I have never seen before
I gotta survive, I gotta survive
Can't do this on my own

Na-da, ba-da-da
Ba-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da
Staring at the bottle
Na-da, ba-da-da
Ba-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da
Staring at the bottle

Staring at the bottle
Will you be my friend tonight?
I've been feeling kind of awful
Since I found out 'bout these lies
Drowning in the sins
I have never seen before
I gotta survive, I gotta survive
Can't do this on my own

Na-da, ba-da-da
Ba-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da
Staring at the bottle
Na-da, ba-da-da




Ba-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da
Staring at the bottle

Overall Meaning

The song "Staring at the Bottle" by Angemi is about feeling lost and alone and turning to drinking to cope with the pain. The lyrics describe the desperation of someone who is struggling with their emotions and who feels like they can't handle the weight of their problems on their own. The singer is asking the bottle to be their friend - a representation of the whiskey that they are drinking. They feel awful because they have discovered lies, and the weight of the sins they are drowning in is overwhelming.


The chorus repeats the refrain "staring at the bottle," emphasizing the singer's fixation on their drink as a way of coping with their pain. They are physically and emotionally broken, their mind consumed by the pain, and they feel like they are going crazy. They are crying out for someone to pick them up and keep them warm, someone to comfort them as they struggle through their pain.


Overall, the song touches on themes of loneliness, desperation, and the ways that people cope with pain. It highlights the fact that sometimes we turn to unhealthy solutions to deal with our problems, even when we know they aren't good for us.
