Intervention!
Astro Safari USA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

when friends don't pick up they phones
i pre game all alone
my problem's i don't know
how much longer can i go?
my body's history
my liver's pissed at me
lungs are black i wonder if there's
anybody missing me

jayce you wasted
let's face it
i'm afraid that you need medication
not to mention
intervention
clean you up
point you in the right direction

when i party at my home
i party all alone
my problems i don't know
how much lower can i go?
i think i need a hug
my friends they all smoke drugs
passed out and i wonder
if there's anybody i could love

jayce you wasted
let's face it
i'm afraid that you need medication
not to mention
intervention
clean you up
point you in the right direction

problem? i don't have a problem…you have a problem
my only problem is that i'm too awesome
i'm having a good time all the time

jayce you wasted
let's face it
i'm afraid that you need medication
not to mention
intervention




clean you up
point you in the right direction

Overall Meaning

The song "Intervention!" by Astro Safari USA is a reflection on the singer's alcohol and drug use, and the toll it's taking on their life. They start off the song by lamenting their friends' absence when they need a drinking buddy, leading them to pregame alone. They acknowledge that they have a problem, but they don't know how to solve it. They feel like their body is giving up on them, with their liver and lungs taking on damage. They wonder if anyone would even miss them if they were gone.


The chorus provides strong criticism of the singer's behavior, suggesting that they need an intervention to clean up their act and get their life back on track. Despite the criticism, the singer seems to be in denial about the extent of their problem. They claim that they don't have a problem, and that their only issue is that they're "too awesome". This line could be read as either absurd or tragic, as the singer's delusion is juxtaposed with their clear distress.


Overall, "Intervention!" is a deeply personal song that confronts addiction and denial head-on. The lyrics are both witty and poignant, with the chorus striking a balance between calling the singer out and providing a compassionate way forward.
