Eatliz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Glowing eyes burning red
Draw me a gun, shoot my chest
There’s no there’s no
There’s no there’s no change!
Hell no hell no
Hell no hell no

I drink every night

And sleep through the day
I drink every night
And all to make it go away

I drink every night
And sleep through the day
I drink every night
And all to make it go away

Drowning sleep in my bed
There’s no there’s no
There’s no there’s no
Hell no hell no
Hell no hell no

Draw me a gun, shoot my chest
There’s no there’s no
There’s no there’s no change!

I drink every night
And sleep through the day
I drink every night
And all to make it go away

I drink every night
And sleep through the day
I drink every night
And all to make it go away

I drink every night
And sleep through the day
I drink every night
And all to make it go away

I drink every night
And sleep through the day
I drink every night
And all to make it go away

I drink every night...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eatliz's song "Berlin" depicts the struggles of the singer as they deal with their inner demons. The opening line "Glowing eyes burning red" paints a picture of someone in a dark place. The next line, "Draw me a gun, shoot my chest" is a metaphor for the pain and hurt that the singer is feeling inside. They are asking for someone to put them out of their misery, to end their suffering, and to kill the pain. It is a cry for help, but at the same time, it represents a desire to give up.

The lines "There's no, there's no, there's no, there's no change" and "hell no, hell no" are the singer's realization that they are stuck in a never-ending cycle of despair. They have tried to change or break free from their situation but have failed. The drinking every night and sleeping through the day is the singer's way of numbing their pain and escaping reality. It is a coping mechanism to deal with their emotions and the traumatic experiences that they have gone through. The repetition of the phrase "And all to make it go away" signifies the singer's desperation to end their emotional pain.
