The Drunken Lord Of Everything
Ginger Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a smell
And I can tell
It's the stench of a lonely man
Rotting inside of his shell
But the papers will not hear about
Another guy turning blue
I'll survive another lonely day without you

I can say
With hand on heart
I feel more alone being with you
Then when we're apart
Like a needle to a junkie
I've seen all of the worst you can do
I'll survive another lonely day without you

Without you
I wish someone would come kill me
Then come kill you too

Without you
Days are colder, nights are longer
I feel older, but I look younger than I've been known to

There've been times
And there'll be more
And my mind will erase all the pain
Like it has done before
'Till the next one is the first one

And I swear that the pain is brand new
I'll survive another lonely day without you

Overall Meaning

In Ginger's song "The Drunken Lord of Everything," the singer is a person who is wrestling with loneliness and feeling isolated, even when in the company of others. Throughout the song, the singer reflects on the emptiness and desolation they feel, describing it as a "smell" and a "stench" which emanates from within them. They also acknowledge that this kind of loneliness is often overlooked or brushed aside by society, and that people like them are often left to suffer in silence.

Despite their pain, the singer also reveals that they have a intense and complicated relationship with the person they are singing about. While they long for that person's companionship, they also recognize that they are often unhappy and unfulfilled when they are together. As the singer puts it, being with this person is "like a needle to a junkie," reminding them of all the worst parts of themselves and their life.

Ultimately, the song ends with the singer acknowledging that they will continue to survive and endure, no matter how lonely and desolate they may feel. They have been through pain before, and they will go through it again, but they will never stop trying to find some kind of meaning or connection in their life.

Line by Line Meaning

There's a smell
The air has an unpleasant odor

And I can tell
I can sense it

It's the stench of a lonely man
It's the smell of a person who is alone

Rotting inside of his shell
They are deteriorating internally

But the papers will not hear about
The media won't report it

Another guy turning blue
Another person losing their will to live

I'll survive another lonely day without you
I can endure another day without you

I can say
I am certain

With hand on heart
I am being sincere

I feel more alone being with you
I feel more isolated when I'm with you

Then when we're apart
Than when we are not together
