Stealing All My Friends
Carlie Hanson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take our summer hostage
But we loved it every time
Putting life out on the line
Beautiful and nauseous
Laughing from exhaustion
And I couldn't help but cry
I remember when you turned your lights off
We were laying
Trying to figure out what went wrong
You were too far gone
Drugs keep stealing all my friends
Stealing all my friends, stealing all my
Drugs keep stealing all my friends
Stealing all my friends, stealing all my friends
I don't think I can take
Take it anymore 'cause
Drugs keep stealing all my friends
Stealing all my friends, stealing all my friends
Told us you would make it
Same day you were taken
Everybody saw the signs
And we missed 'em every time
I wish you could answer your phone
So we all didn't feel so alone
Heaven knows if I had a choice
I'd do anything to hear your voice
I remember when you turned your lights off
We were laying
Trying to figure out what went wrong
You were too far gone
Drugs keep stealing all my friends
Stealing all my friends, stealing all my
Drugs keep stealing all my friends
Stealing all my friends, stealing all my friends
Drugs keep stealing all my friends
Stealing all my friends, stealing all my
Drugs keep stealing all my friends
Stealing all my friends, stealing all my friends
I don't think I can take
Take it anymore 'cause
Drugs keep stealing all my friends
Stealing all my friends, stealing all my friends
The lyrics to Carlie Hanson's song "Stealing All My Friends" explore themes of loss, grief, and the devastating impact of drugs on relationships. The opening lines, "I've seen snow in August, take our summer hostage," use the metaphor of unexpected and uncommon events to highlight how drugs can disrupt and control people's lives. Despite the negative consequences, there is a paradoxical satisfaction conveyed in the lyrics, as the line "But we loved it every time, putting life out on the line" suggests a self-destructive allure or thrill that accompanies drug abuse.
The song delves into the emotions experienced when a loved one succumbs to addiction. The lines "I remember when you turned your lights off, we were laying, trying to figure out what went wrong, you were too far gone" depict a sense of helplessness and confusion surrounding the individual's decline into addiction. The desperation to reach out and connect with the person is expressed in "I wish you could answer your phone, so we all didn't feel so alone," illustrating the longing for their presence and the pain of their absence.
Ultimately, the lyrics mourn the loss of friends who have been consumed by drugs. The repetition of the lines "Drugs keep stealing all my friends" emphasizes the recurring pattern of loss and the pervasive nature of addiction. The chorus becomes a powerful expression of frustration and despair, as the singer feels overwhelmed by the constant cycle of losing those they care about to drugs.

I've seen snow in August
I have witnessed rare and unexpected occurrences
Take our summer hostage
Overwhelm and seize control of our joyful moments
But we loved it every time
However, we found solace and enjoyment in those moments
Putting life out on the line
Taking risks and exposing ourselves to vulnerability
Beautiful and nauseous
Experiencing a mix of captivating beauty and discomfort
Laughing from exhaustion
Finding humor amidst the weariness and fatigue
And I couldn't help but cry
Feeling overwhelmed with emotions, leading to tears
I wish I could tell you why
Longing to provide an explanation for my feelings
I remember when you turned your lights off
Recalling the moment when you gave up or lost hope
We were laying
We were in a vulnerable and intimate position
Trying to figure out what went wrong
Attempting to understand the cause of the problem
You were too far gone
You had reached a point where help seemed impossible
Drugs keep stealing all my friends
Substance abuse continues to take away my companions
Stealing all my friends, stealing all my
Robbing me of meaningful connections and relationships
I don't think I can take
I am unsure if I can endure
Take it anymore 'cause
Handle the pain any longer because
Told us you would make it
You assured us that you would overcome your struggles
Same day you were taken
Unfortunately, you were suddenly lost on the very same day
Everybody saw the signs
Everyone noticed the warning signals
And we missed 'em every time
Yet, we failed to recognize and address them repeatedly
I wish you could answer your phone
I desire for you to respond to our calls and be present
So we all didn't feel so alone
To prevent the overwhelming sense of loneliness we experience
Heaven knows if I had a choice
If given the opportunity, heaven can confirm that I would
I'd do anything to hear your voice
I would go to great lengths just to listen to your words
Drugs keep stealing all my friends
Substance abuse continues to take away my companions
Stealing all my friends, stealing all my friends
Robbing me of meaningful connections and relationships
Stealing all my friends
Taking away everyone dear to me
I don't think I can take
I am unsure if I can endure
Take it anymore 'cause
Handle the pain any longer because
Drugs keep stealing all my friends
Substance abuse continues to take away my companions
Stealing all my friends, stealing all my friends
Robbing me of meaningful connections and relationships
I don't think I can take
I am unsure if I can endure
Take it anymore 'cause
Handle the pain any longer because
Drugs keep stealing all my friends
Substance abuse continues to take away my companions
Stealing all my friends, stealing all my friends
Robbing me of meaningful connections and relationships

trustin JesusChrist
hey i just needed to tell you that Jesus Christ loves you and He will save us from our sin if we put our faith and trust in Him! we all sinned and fell short of Gods perfect glory (romans 3:23) and the wages of sin is eternal death! (romans 6:23) but the gift of God is this
john 3:16-21:
“for God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.”
and romans 10:9-13:
“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on Him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
so God is coming at a time we least expect, and if we put our faith and trust in Him and repent (turn away) from our sin He will gift us His grace and clothe us with the righteousness of His blood (but of course death could not hold Him, He is risen!) and we will have eternal life in His kingdom where there will be there will be no more death, or sorrow, or crying. there will be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. because He loves you so much! (romans 5:6-8) but if we deny and reject Him and don’t repent from our sins to follow God, then we will have our part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. so hear these words, repent and believe the gospel! accept Jesus Christ and confess your sins to Him so that He will forgive you and give you a life with truth, love, joy, and peace. which will never fade away or perish. this is all if you haven’t done this already and Jesus Christ hasn’t saved you yet, also when you have time please you should watch this channel here on youtube called “Christ forgiveness ministries” and hear what they have to say, glory to God. God bless! ✝️👑💟
