Overdose
Chrystian Lehr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm on more than one its getting started
Can't shut off these feelings running through my body
I'm in a crowded room alone and my phones on 5%
And I hope it dies so I can finally stop checking it
One more drink to try to not lose my head
But it might be too late cause I can't feel my face
I'm only human and I think I tripped I think I'm fallin'
Wonder if you're alone and whose hands are on your body
I can't control these thoughts yeah
You found a way through me, now I'm overdosing
Run thru my veins in waves yeah, but its too potent yeah
I don't know how this started, I'm not sure what I'm caught in
I'm only human and I think I tripped I think I'm fallin'
Wonder if you're alone and whose hands are on your body
I can't control these thoughts yeah
You found a way through me, now I'm overdosing
Run thru my veins in waves yeah, but its too potent yeah
Not sure how you did it
But I know I'm locked in from this time that I'm spending
Thinking bout you, worried bout you
And all in your business
And all cause of you
Got me choosing up
Breaking my rules as fuck and I don't know
I don't know how this started, I'm not sure what I'm caught in
I'm only human and I think I tripped I think I'm fallin'
Wonder if you're alone and whose hands are on your body
I can't control these thoughts yeah
You found a way through me, now I'm overdosing
Run thru my veins in waves, yeah, but it's too potent yeah
You found a way through me, now I'm overdosing
Run thru my veins in waves, yeah, but it's too potent yeah
The lyrics of Chrystian Lehr's song "Overdose" paint a picture of a young person caught up in the party lifestyle and struggling with the consequences of their actions. The singer is aware of their responsibilities the next day and their phone battery is low, increasing their anxiety. They attempt to numb their emotions by drinking more but it only makes the situation worse as they lose control of their physical sensations. They have conflicting thoughts about a romantic interest, who they can't stop thinking about, leading to obsessive behaviour.
The lyrics explore themes of addiction, insecurity and desire as the singer finds themselves overwhelmed by their feelings. The use of the word 'overdose' in the chorus is significant, as it implies that their fixation on their romantic interest is akin to an addiction. The lyrics "Now I'm overdosing, run thru my veins in waves yeah, but its too potent yeah," demonstrates the intensity of their desire and implies that it's dangerous.
The song is a cautionary tale of the dangers of excess and losing control. The singer is in a vulnerable state, and their actions are depicted without judgement or glorification, emphasising the complexity of the human experience.
