[Bonus Track]
I realize I missed the day
I look around and see the face
What the hell have I lost my taste
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out
My head explodes, my ears ring
I can't remember just where I've been
The last thing that I recall
I got lost in a deep black hole
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
I grab my things and make a run
On my way out, another one
Would like to know before I stop
Did I make it or did I flop
Don't want to find out
Just want to get out
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Don't want to find out
Just want to get out
Blackout
I really had a blackout
The song Blackout by Halford feat. Rudolf Schenker, originally performed by Scorpions, is a high-energy rock song that depicts the aftermath of a wild night out. The singer of the song realizes that they have missed a day, suggesting that they have been up all night partying and drinking. They are too "wrecked to care" about what they missed during their blackout. As they look around, they see faces but can't remember what happened the night before. They describe their head exploding and their ears ringing, indicating the intensity of their hangover. Despite not remembering what happened, they grab their things and run out, hoping to avoid any confrontation or further embarrassment.
The lyrics of the song Blackout are relatable to anyone who has ever had a wild night out and experienced a blackout. The singer's confusion and disorientation after waking up suggest that their actions may have consequences, and they are hoping to avoid any negative repercussions. The repetition of the word "blackout" throughout the song reinforces the idea that the singer's memory of the night before is completely gone, and they are struggling to piece together what happened.
