Overdose
Grandson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was higher than the nosebleed, I
I turn up 'til my nose bleed, I
Blacked out in the black car
I was trying to feel like a rockstar, but
I can't just do one now, no
I've been way too numb now
I'm living on the run now
Oh I gotta get out of this town somehow

'Cause the bad's been slowly getting worse
And this fast lane living, it's a curse
Better tell me what's your life worth
I think it's time for a change
'Cause the bad's been slowly getting worse
And this fast lane living, it's a curse
Better tell me what's your life worth
I think it's time for a change
'Cause the drugs don't work

Anymore, anymore
Anymore, now the drugs don't work
Anymore, anymore
Anymore, now the drugs don't work

I couldn't find the fill again, I
Couldn't seem to kill the pain, I
I was living in the moment
Searching for a little serotonin
But, this shit ain't so fun now
I, can't tell what the come down
I've been living on the run now
Oh I gotta get out of this town somehow

'Cause the bad's been slowly getting worse
And this fast lane living, it's a curse
Better tell me what's your life worth
I think it's time for a change
'Cause the bad's been slowly getting worse
And this fast lane living, it's a curse
Better tell me what's your life worth
I think it's time for a change
'Cause the drugs don't work

Anymore, anymore
Anymore, now the drugs don't work
Anymore, anymore
Anymore, now the drugs don't work
Anymore, anymore
Anymore, now the drugs don't work
Anymore, anymore
Anymore, now the drugs don't work

Woo, woo, woo, woo
Overdose, overdose, overdose
Overdose, overdose, overdose
All fun and games 'til I hit the floor comatose

Overdose, all fun and games 'til I hit the floor comatose



Overdose, overdose, all fun and games 'til I hit the floor comatose
Overdose

Overall Meaning

In Grandson's song "Overdose", the lyrics describe the effects of drug abuse, particularly in the context of trying to escape from reality through substance use. The singer describes their experience of being "higher than the nosebleed" and trying to feel like a rockstar while living in the fast lane, but ultimately realizing that the drugs no longer work and that it's time for a change. The singer recognizes the negative impact of their drug use on their life, and acknowledges the need to get out of the toxic environment that they find themselves in.


The song highlights the destructive nature of addiction, and the toll that it takes on both the individual and their relationships. The lyrics also tackle the idea of escapism, and the dangerous cycle of using drugs to numb oneself from their problems, rather than facing them head-on.

[Verse 1]
I was higher than the nosebleed, I
Turn up till my nose bleed, I
Blacked out in the black car, I
Was trying to feel like a rockstar, but
I can't just do one now, no
I've been way too numb now
I'm living on the run now
Oh I gotta get out of this town somehow

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause the bad's been slowly getting worse
In this fast lane, living, it's a curse
Better tell me, what's your life worth?

In this fast lane, living, it's a curse
Better tell me, what's your life worth?
I think it's time for a change
'Cause the drugs don't work

Can't tell what the comedown, I
Been living on the run now
Oh I gotta get out of this town somehow

Grandson is honestly someone that no one in the industry will be able to match. Political and socially conscious messages - the guy is a genius

Felix Mcscouty

grandson is great, but listen to IAMX

ksurmacki

Hol up
Ever heard of Kendrick Lamar?
While recognizing Grandson as a great artist, we should agree that Lamar messages are currently unmatched.

MynicknameisViolet

Nothing more? Mission? There's other bands artists that do similar things

NOWAY RAY

The masses don't want "conscious" messages... Just wanna feel cool. " Like the Rockstars"

Skarlette Arvolkskaya

Felix Mcscouty IAMX is fucking great but most of their stuff isn’t as politically charged. Theyre great for darker stuff though. Met Chris w Kat Von D in May. Fucking awesome dude lol
