Bartender
HEDp.e. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a whole in me that I can't fill
No matter how hard I try
Hey bartender hit me with a double
And introduce me to that girl with the bubble
I'm looking for trouble tonight
No momma don't trust me tonight
You be the center baby
I'd be the quarterback
Hike hit the tailback
Watch it on playback
Jah smash that hitting that redbone
Up in the endzone biting on the collarbone
[Chorus]
I just want your company
I just want you to comfort me just come with me
Hey bartender hit me with another
I just about had to kill this brother
S*** I'm looking for trouble tonight
You be the beauty - baby
I'd be the beast
Who gives a f*** take it to the bedroom
Take it the streets
Take it like a man muthaf***er
Yo b**** chose me muthaf***er
[Chorus: x2]
Take me there take me with you
I can't be alone tonight
I can't be alone tonight
I can't trust myself tonight
I can't trust myself tonight
Baby please don't trust me tonight
No please don't trust me tonight
Ain't nothing working
Ain't nothing right
There's a whole in me that I can't fill
No matter how hard I try
Ain't nothing sweeter there ain't nothing wrong
All the pain that I receive keeps me strong
It keeps me moving on
I just want your company
I want you to comfort me just come with me
I just want your company
I want you to comfort me just come with me I just want your company
I want you to comfort me just come with me
Comfort me Just come with me
Comfort me Just come with me
The lyrics in "Bartender" by HEDp.e. seem to be about a person who is struggling to find purpose or satisfaction in life. They "can't fill" the "hole" within themselves, despite their efforts. The person seeks comfort and someone to be with to distract from their problems, rather than dealing with them head on. They ask the bartender for a double, hoping to meet someone to bring them company and temporary joy. They also express a desire for trouble, likely seeking an escape from their mundane or unhappy life. The person sees themselves as the "beast" and the girl they meet as the "beauty," but despite this dichotomy, they ultimately just want to be comforted and not be alone.
The repeated lines "I can't trust myself tonight" and "Baby please don't trust me tonight" suggest that the person may have a tendency to engage in self-destructive behaviors or actions they may later regret. They know they shouldn't be trusted and may be seeking out someone to distract them from their negative impulses.
Overall, the lyrics in "Bartender" seem to convey a sense of restlessness, dissatisfaction, and a desire for temporary satisfaction and companionship to distract from these feelings. However, they don't seem to address the root of the person's issues, and instead offer a temporary solution.
