Dogfight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll never need anything, trust me
And don't dry your eyes, just cry all night
Cause you're so wasted
Keep counting your blessings like they tell you too
Keep drinking, forgetting
The problems facing you
You'll be alright once you drink tonight
You'll never need anything, trust me
And don't dry your eyes, just cry all night
Cause you're so wasted
Your grieving, it's not helping the way you want it to
Keep drinking, it's solving
Everything for you
You'll be alright once you drink tonight
You'll never need anything, trust me
And don't dry your eyes, just cry all night
Cause you're so wasted
You will find its not your only choice
You'll be fine once you're wasted
You'll be alright once you drink tonight
You'll never need anything, trust me
And don't dry your eyes, just cry all night
Cause you're so wasted
You will find its not your only choice
You'll be fine once you're wasted
The song "Wasted" by Dogfight tackles the common practice of using alcohol as a coping mechanism for personal problems. The lyrics convey a message that drinking can be seen as a solution to one's issues, but in reality, it only masks them temporarily. The chorus repeats the lines "You'll be alright once you drink tonight, You'll never need anything trust me, And don't dry your eyes, just cry all night, 'Cause you're so wasted," which emphasizes the idea that getting drunk is a way to forget your problems and feel better but only offers temporary relief.
Additionally, the lyrics suggest that people may have underlying issues that they are trying to avoid by drinking. The lines "Your grieving, it's not helping the way you want it too, Keep drinking, it's solving everything for you," indicate that the character in the song is trying to fill a void with alcohol instead of dealing with the true emotions behind their grief. The song ultimately ends with hope as the character acknowledges that drinking is not the only solution to their problems.
The song's message is relatable to many people, especially those who had a rough day and want to forget their problems by drinking. However, the song speaks to the dangers of this behavior and the long-term repercussions of avoiding one's emotions through alcohol consumption.
