Enjoy Me Now
Blisterhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was in the backyard just taking a piss
I'm out of money, so will you buy me a whiskey?
After one or two you might look all right
Hey, enjoy me now
Tomorrow I'll be banging my head against the wall
Hey, I'm crazy now
Tomorrow I'll be banging my head against the wall
There's a lot of people here but I only know a few
Just get me drunk and I say I'll be your's forever
The truth is I don't even want you
Just keep 'em coming and I'll give you a smile
I could be yours all night or just for a while
I will be sorry when I wake up
But that's tomorrow baby, tonight I'll never stop
The song "Enjoy Me Now" by Blisterhead is about a man who is out of money and looking for a good time at a party. He approaches a girl and asks her to buy him a drink, hoping that after a couple of shots, she will look attractive to him. He sings "Hey, enjoy me now / Tomorrow I'll be banging my head against the wall / Hey, I'm crazy now / Tomorrow I'll be banging my head against the wall," implying that he knows his behavior is reckless and that he will regret it in the morning. Despite this knowledge, he chooses to live in the moment, seeking enjoyment as he spirals out of control.
The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and a lack of self-worth. The man knows that his behavior is destructive, but he cannot help himself. He is using alcohol as a crutch to cope with his problems. The chorus, "Hey, enjoy me now / Tomorrow I'll be banging my head against the wall" is a poignant reminder that our actions have consequences, and we must be aware of the choices we make.
Overall, "Enjoy Me Now" speaks to the human condition and our need for acceptance and affection, even when we know it will not bring lasting fulfillment. The song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of living for the moment and the importance of making healthy choices.
