Ripped Jeans
Bellevue Days Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got pulled up by a pint on a hazy night but got dragged back down in hindsight.
Suck it up they said to me there's plenty more fish in this bottle,
so I drowned my lungs with cigarettes and got fucked on the fact I'm lonely.
Down down down it this vodka this dream cos there's so much left here to drink, I
hope this scar don't pull apart because blood don't look so good on me
Ripped jeans.
with all the faux pas of a free man, who didn't know to quit.
I drank hard like a demon, who would've thought,
that what I built to be giant, would be left so small.
Oh my God I drink to forget, I love leaving cigarette stains on my twin sized bed,
still I'm singing.
Oh my God I drink to forget, I love leaving cigarette stains on my twin sized bed,
still I'm singing.
Ripped Jeans...
The song "Ripped Jeans" by Bellevue Days is a song that depicts the struggles of an individual who is trying to drown their sorrows and forget their problems through alcohol and addictive substances. The opening lines "Down, down down it didn't exist, I confused hunger with lovesick" highlights the idea that the singer is mistaking their loneliness for the need to be in love with someone. It is evident that they are trying to escape those emotions and find solace in drinking and smoking.
The song continues to emphasize how the singer tries to cope with their problems through alcohol addiction. The lyrics "so I drowned my lungs with cigarettes and got fucked on the fact I'm lonely" portray the sad reality of an individual forgetting their troubles, but ultimately realizing they are still alone. The line "I drank hard like a demon, but I'm used to it", depicts how the singer is accustomed to the feeling of being numb and is constantly searching for ways to cope with their struggles.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on their past and the effect that their drinking and addiction has had on their life. The line "with all the faux pas of a free man, who didn't know to quit" suggests that the singer's choices have led them down a path they may not have intended. The chorus of the song, "Ripped Jeans," is a metaphor for the singer's life, which has been torn apart and left in shambles due to their addiction.
