Detox
Butter Bath Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our love has me glued to the casket with you
You've been wearing my jeans, and you smell like my sheets,
I came here to vent, but I hope you're content
I'm on a detox, would you believe?
You got me addicted, but I'm getting clean
I've got a thing for pouring out tea,
We've gone off houses and yards,
They're so great and,
Laughing like a lover should
I've been making my peace like we both are deceased,
Our love has me glued to the casket with you
You've been wearing my jeans, and you smell like my sheets,
I came here to vent, but I hope you're content
Dressed in your matrimonial chains
You're two weeks in and married again
Gave him the smaller, I gave you in time
You got a six-car space in my mind
I can't function it seems like electric,
But electrically too off the cue, yeah
I've been making my peace like we both are deceased,
Our love has me glued to the casket with you
You've been wearing my jeans, and you smell like my sheets,
I came here to vent, but I hope you're content
Could you smile for a minute?
I'm just tryna be facetious
To take the edge off this sharp lesson,
Oh me oh my
I've been making my peace like we both are deceased,
Our love has me glued to the casket with you
You've been wearing my jeans, and you smell like my sheets,
I came here to vent, but I hope you're content
The song "Detox" by Butter Bath is a heartbreak song that talks about the aftermath of a relationship that ended. The opening lines "I've been making my peace like we both are deceased, our love has me glued to the casket with you" suggests that the singer is struggling to let go of the past and move on. The line "You've been wearing my jeans, and you smell like my sheets" shows that the memories of the relationship are still fresh in the singer's mind, even though it has ended. The singer is there to talk about their feelings and vent, but they also hope that their ex-partner is content without them.
The chorus "I'm on a detox, would you believe? You got me addicted, but I'm getting clean" uses detox as a metaphor for moving on from the relationship. The singer is trying to get over the addiction of being in love with their ex-partner. The lines "I've got a thing for pouring out tea, I have got a thing for draining the sea" could suggest that the singer is trying to find new ways to distract themselves from the pain of the breakup.
In the verse "Dressed in your matrimonial chains, you're two weeks in and married again, gave him the smaller, I gave you in time, you got a six-car space in my mind," the singer talks about how their ex-partner has moved on and remarried. This hurts the singer, as they still have them in their mind. The line "You got a six-car space in my mind" refers to the phrase "you take up space in my head," indicating that the singer is unable to forget their ex-partner.
