Drunk
Cattski Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You only love me when you are
You only want me when you are
I hate it when you're drunk
I hate it when you're drunk
You treat me special when you are
You sing me love songs when you are
‘Cause when you're drunk
You seem to say that you still need me
And that you'd only be completely
Bored and lost without me
But in the morning when you're sober
Then I know it's over
I hate it when you're drunk
You call me baby when you are
You kiss me gently when you are
I hate it when you're drunk
I hate it when you're drunk
You treat me special when you are
You sing me love songs when you are
I hate it when you're drunk
Well now I'm left here staring at your sleep
Thinking deeply of the games you play to tease me
You lead me on to leave me
And though I know this won't be easy
I don't want to deal with your hang-over
The song “Drunk” by Cattski is a poignant portrayal of the mixed emotions that can come with a partner's drunkenness. The repetition of the phrase “I hate it when you're drunk” throughout the song highlights this feeling of frustration and disappointment. The first verse expresses how the singer's partner only seems to express love and affection when they are drunk, leading to a feeling of being used. However, in the chorus, when the partner is drunk, they vocalize their need for the singer, making it hard to push them away. The second verse explores the other side of this dynamic, where the drunken partner treats the singer with tenderness and sings them love songs, leading to a feeling of being valued but also a sense of confusion.
The bridge of the song is particularly revealing, as it lays out the mixed messages that the partner is sending when they are drunk. Their words suggest that they are deeply in love with the singer and dependent on them, but when they sober up, those feelings disappear. This back-and-forth creates a rollercoaster of emotions for the singer, making it challenging to know what to believe. The song's final verse reveals that the singer is left in a state of uncertainty, with their partner asleep and unsure if they will still be around in the morning. The song's vulnerability and honesty make it a powerful reflection on the complexities of relationships and the challenges of navigating mixed emotions.
