Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cause you never coming back
I want to shoot speed balls
put my head against the wall
I want to sniff glue
cause I can't get over you
Am I gonna sort it out
I want to smoke crack
cause you never coming back
I want to shoot speed balls
put my head against the wall
I want to sniff glue
cause I can't get over you
Am I gonna sort it out
Am I gonna sort it out
Am I gonna sort it out
Am I gonna sort it out
Am I gonna sort it out
Am I gonna sort it out
Am I gonna sort it out
Am I gonna sort it out
The lyrics to Caesars's song 'Sort It Out' evoke the painful emotions of a lover who has been deserted and driven to the edge of desperation. The singer of the song is seeking an escape from their pain, through substance abuse. The line "I want to smoke crack cause you never coming back" conveys the extent of the character's heartbreak and the depth of their yearning to reverse the situation. They then go on to reveal their further desires to escape reality through drug use, with lines like "I want to shoot speed balls, put my head against the wall" and "I want to sniff glue cause I can't get over you".
The repetition of the line "Am I gonna sort it out" adds to the intensity of the song, creating a sense of foreboding that the singer’s struggles may ultimately be insurmountable. The repetition also highlights the desperation and feeling of being trapped that the character is experiencing. The song speaks to the destructive power of heartbreak, the pursuit of temporary highs and numbing the pain, and the internal struggle to overcome it all.
