Overdose
Eddie And The Getaway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm drunk as hell
Can't you tell
You don't love me
You don't even know me
Never speak this much
This one for the crazies
Baby that's all me
I’m drunk as hell
I'm raising hell
Disturbing the peace at the maximum
Taking what Ive been asking for
Baby don't blame me
I'm blaming it on the 80 proof
No chaser so I'm too damn loose
So just I'm letting it all loose
HOOK
Living that overdose life
Overdose life
If it feels right
I'll do it all night
Living that overdose life
Overdose life
If it feels right
I'll do it all night
Living that overdose life
Overdose life
If it feels right
I'll do it all night
Living that overdose life
Overdose life
If it feels right
I'll do it all night
VERSE 2
I’m done with the hiding
No more excuses from me baby
Living the overdose life
Feels like I'm running from my mind
Still can't conceive it's all inside
No more safe places to run and hide
So I pour up and slip slide
Finally walking bossing up in my calling
Hoping they don't miss the old me
Hoping they don't judge the new me
Hoping these angels hold me
I still can't believe me
I actually care what they think
Hope they never see through me
And Use my emotions to screw me
HOOK
Living that overdose life
Overdose life
If it feels right
I'll do it all night
Living that overdose life
Overdose life
If it feels right
I'll do it all night
Living that overdose life
Overdose life
If it feels right
I'll do it all night
Living that overdose life
Overdose life
If it feels right
I'll do it all night
BRIDGE
Living that overdose life
Overdose life
If it feels right
I'll do it all night
Living that overdose life
Overdose life
If it feels right
I'll do it all night
HOOK
Living that overdose life
Overdose life
If it feels right
I'll do it all night
Living that overdose life
Overdose life

If it feels right
I'll do it all night
Living that overdose life
Overdose life
If it feels right
I'll do it all night
The lyrics to Eddie And The Getaway's song "Overdose" depict a state of intoxication and recklessness. In the verses, the singer admits to being drunk and reveals that their speech is generally reserved but becomes more expressive when under the influence. They associate their intoxicated state with being wild and different from their usual self, implying that they are seeking an escape or an outlet for their emotions. The lyrics suggest that the singer is blaming their actions and behavior on the alcohol they have consumed.
The hook of the song emphasizes the theme of living an "overdose life," which implies a constant pursuit of excess and intensity. The singer declares their willingness to indulge in this lifestyle all night if it feels right. This addictive behavior and the need for constant stimulation can be seen as a desire to escape reality and numb oneself from underlying emotional pain.
In verse two, the singer expresses a desire to stop hiding and making excuses. They acknowledge that their overdose life is a way to distract themselves from their own thoughts and feelings. The mention of pouring up and slip sliding suggests that they continue to consume alcohol as a means of coping. There is also a sense of vulnerability as the singer hopes others won't see through their facade and use their emotions against them.
Overall, "Overdose" portrays a person caught in a cycle of self-destruction and seeking temporary relief through excessive behavior and substance use.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm drunk as hell
I am extremely intoxicated
Can't you tell
Isn't it obvious
You don't love me
You don't have feelings for me
You don't even know me
You have no understanding of who I am
Never speak this much
I rarely talk this much
Only when I'm drunk
Only when I am intoxicated
This one for the crazies
This song is dedicated to the wild and unpredictable
Baby that's all me
That's just who I am
I'm raising hell
I am causing trouble
Disturbing the peace at the maximum
I am creating chaos to the highest extent
Taking what I've been asking for
Claiming what I have desired
Baby don't blame me
Do not hold me responsible
I'm blaming it on the 80 proof
I attribute it to the strong alcohol
No chaser so I'm too damn loose
Without a mixer, I am extremely uninhibited
So just I'm letting it all loose
Thus, I am freely expressing myself
Feeling like I'm running from my mind
Sensing as if I am evading my thoughts
Still can't conceive it's all inside
Still unable to comprehend it is all internal
No more safe places to run and hide
There are no longer secure locations to seek refuge
So I pour up and slip slide
Therefore, I pour myself a drink and indulge
Finally walking bossing up in my calling
At last, I am confidently pursuing my purpose
Hoping they don't miss the old me
Wishing they don't long for my previous self
Hoping they don't judge the new me
Desiring they don't criticize the person I have become
Hoping these angels hold me
Praying for the support and protection of benevolent beings
I still can't believe me
I still find it hard to believe myself
I actually care what they think
I genuinely care about their opinions
Hope they never see through me
I hope they never perceive my true thoughts and feelings
And use my emotions to screw me
And manipulate my emotions against me
Living that overdose life
Embracing a lifestyle of excess
If it feels right
If it feels satisfying
I'll do it all night
I will engage in it throughout the night

[Chorus]
You make me wanna overdose
'Cause I let you close
And you to let me Go like I was nothing
If I flatline
In my bed tonight
You're the reason why I done it
I’m thinking dying would be better than this
And I Am out here trying anything to forget
That you're waking up with him tomorrow
Damn, that's a real hard pill to swallow-ow-ow-ow-
I’m sick and tired of my friends all lying
Saying it gets better as the days Go by
And I stopped feeling numb
But that ain't what I want
[Chorus]
Yeah, you make me wanna overdose
'Cause I let you close
And you to let me Go like I was nothing
If I flatline
In my bed tonight
You're the reason why I I done it
Ain't no rehab
For what we had
And I'll never beat that high
I'm down so low-ow-ow-ow
I hope you know-ow-ow-ow
That you make me wanna overdose, overdose
[Verse]
I’m past the point of knocking on rock-bottom
You ran away and now I Am running outta options
I’m all out of prayers
But I bet you don’t even care
[Chorus]
That you make me wanna overdose
'Cause I let you close
And you to let me Go like I was nothing
If I flatline
In my bed tonight
You're the reason why I I done it
Ain't no rehab
For what we had
And I'll never beat that high
I'm down so low-ow-ow-ow
I hope you know-ow-ow-ow
That you make me wanna overdose, overdose
[Repeat Chorus]
[Outro]
Yeah, you make me wanna overdose, overdose
