Wine
Dora Alex Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Slip that bottle of wine
You hold me tight
Why do I lose
Track of time
And you're sorry you got me home so late
I can still taste that cigarette from your lips
Kept me warm, so warm
That night

Call me baby
Tell me that I make you feel like home
Kiss me crazy
Poor me that third glass of wine once more

Swallow that bottle of wine
You hold me tight
Eyelids closed till the end of the night
You're beautiful even when you lie
But we lost trust
Lost us
That night
Give me butterflies
Those wrinkles in your smile
Your heart is all I have ever known
Give me butterflies
Those wrinkles in your smile
Your heart is all I have ever known

Call me crazy
Tell me that I make you feel like home
Kiss me baby
Poor me that third glass of wine once more
Call me baby
Tell me that I make you feel like home
Kiss me crazy
Poor me that third glass of wine once more
Call me baby
Tell me that I make you feel like home




Kiss me crazy
Poor me that third glass of wine once more

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dora Alex's song, "Wine," speak about the experience of being intoxicated and the emotions that go with it. The chorus, "Call me baby, tell me that I make you feel like home, kiss me crazy, poor me that third glass of wine once more," is a clear indication of someone who is seeking validation and affirmation from their partner, who may be using alcohol to escape from their problems.


The first verse of the song, "Slip that bottle of wine, you hold me tight, why do I lose track of time?" speaks of the euphoria that can come with being drunk and having someone to hold onto. The following lines, "And you're sorry you got me home so late, I can still taste that cigarette from your lips, kept me warm, so warm, that night," imply that the singer's partner may have regretted keeping them out so late, but their warm embrace and shared moments made it all worth it.


The second verse, "Swallow that bottle of wine, you hold me tight, eyelids closed till the end of the night, you're beautiful even when you lie, but we lost trust, lost us, that night," speaks of the darker side of alcohol consumption. The line, "eyelids closed till the end of the night," alludes to the singer's inability to stay awake or conscious, while the following line, "you're beautiful even when you lie," suggests that the singer's partner may have been deceitful or not truthful in some aspect of their relationship. The final line, "but we lost trust, lost us, that night," implies that the couple has lost a sense of trust and connection due to their excessive drinking.


Overall, "Wine" speaks to the bittersweet relationship between alcohol consumption and romantic relationships. While alcohol may offer temporary relief and temporary pleasure, there is a darker side that can lead to loss and regret.
