OD
Anthony Flammia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, yeah

Some days, I wish that I could kick back with my baby, baby
Wish I had the time to find a lady lately
Nowadays, I've been fighting to find
A quiet that I could find a place for me to meditate
And I don't ever even meditate
I need to slow my life down, I don't know no better way

I done smoked one to the face, and now I'm levitatin'
I promise when I find my baby, I won't hesitate

'Cause once I get one taste, I know I'm gon' get too high
And when I see your face, I know I'm gon' make you mine
Make you mine
You're my heroine, my lady hero, dope
When the bad times come, you'll be there like a drug
Baby, fuck a needle, nope
Girl, I want you like I need you

I keep overdosing, I'll do the most
'Cause I want you, girl, more than anything
I keep overdosing, I'll do the most
'Cause I want you, girl, more than anything

Longing, longing for my favorite drug
Body's aching for your touch
Girl, I haven't even met you
But the thought of you's enough
I've be taking dose after dose, never learn my lesson, uh
I'm tryna keep you close,
Keep you close just to heal my stressin', yeah, uh

'Cause once I get one taste, I know I'm gon' get too high
And when I see your face, I know I'm gon' make you mine
Make you mine
You're my heroine, my lady hero, dope
When the bad times come, you'll be there like a drug
Baby, fuck a needle, nope
Girl, I want you like I need you

I keep overdosing, I'll do the most
'Cause I want you, girl, more than anything

I keep overdosing, I'll do the most
'Cause I want you, girl, more than anything

Overall Meaning

Anthony Flammia's song "OD" is an ode to the euphoric feeling of being in love. The song is about the longing for a specific person and how their presence can be addictive like a drug. The lyrics start off with the desire to kick back with a significant other, but the singer laments that he doesn't have the time to find anyone. Instead, he has been fighting to find some peace so that he can meditate. The singer acknowledges that he needs to slow his life down, but he doesn't know how to do it.

The chorus of the song captures the singer's intense desire for the person he's thinking of. He compares the person to a drug, saying that the thought of them alone is enough to ease his aches and stress. The singer admits that once he gets a taste of this person, he will become addicted, and he knows he won't be able to resist them. The singer wants this person more than anything, and he keeps overdosing because of his love for them.

When Anthony Flammia was asked about the meaning behind the song, he said, "it’s about wanting love so bad that it feels like an addiction. It's about wanting someone so bad that you’re willing to overdose just to get that metaphorical high, even if it’s just for a moment."
