Overdose
Hotel Graffiti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On every word I've ever wrote
Spend some time
So you can blow all my lines
And get so fucked up that you don't wake up
I hope you overdose
Fuck the Father Son & the Holy Ghost
Raised in the gutter
If your last wish was to become Christ and mourn our own
A bingeful night with death insight
Until you find what you're looking for
I had a hard time reaching myself
Spent many nights lying awake in hell
I must have lost my soul along the way
And I watched us wither away
To the point of my dismay
So take me back to hell to where the serpents sing
I had a hard time reaching myself
Spent many nights lying awake in hell
Must have lost my soul along the way
Lie on the false front
Hand to God slip back away
On the 7th day my body fucking turned to Grey
On the 7th day my body fucking turned to Grey
Fuck the Father, Son & The Holy Ghost
I hope you overdose
I had a hard time reaching myself
Spent many nights lying awake in hell
I must have lost my soul along the way
And I watched you wither away
To the point of my dismay
So take me back to hell to where the serpents sing
You're the one that fucked me up
I couldn't get a reply
I see you doin shit online
And for all the times I should have cut in line
That I won't get out
The lyrics to Hotel Graffiti's song "Overdose" explore themes of emotional devastation, self-destruction, and a desire for revenge. The opening lines "I hope you overdose, on every word I've ever wrote" convey a bitter tone and a longing for the listener to feel the full impact of the songwriter's words. The singer wants the listener to immerse themselves in the lyrics, to the point where they become intoxicated by them and lose touch with reality.
The lyrics continue to express a disdain for societal norms and expectations, as evidenced by the line "Fuck the Father Son & the Holy Ghost, raised in the gutter unlike you punk motherfuckers." This rebellious sentiment suggests a sense of alienation from societal norms and a rejection of religious authority. The mention of finding solace in a "bingeful night with death insight" implies a dangerous and self-destructive path the singer has taken. They hint at a personal struggle, possibly alluding to a lost sense of self and a feeling of being trapped in a living hell.
The recurring line "I had a hard time reaching myself, spent many nights lying awake in hell" further emphasizes the singer's internal turmoil and their inability to find peace or salvation. They feel detached from their own identity and overwhelmed by their own pain. The reference to the body turning to grey on the seventh day could be interpreted as a metaphorical representation of decay or spiritual death.
Ultimately, the lyrics express the desire for retaliation and a return to a place of suffering represented by hell. The line "So take me back to hell, to where the serpents sing" suggests a craving for the familiarity of pain and darkness. The song ends with a mixture of anger and resignation, as the singer acknowledges that they have been deeply affected by the listener's actions but may never find resolution or closure.

By the seventh day, my body and spirit became lifeless and devoid of color or vibrancy
You're the one that fucked me up
You are the cause of my emotional and psychological distress
I couldn't get a reply
I was left without any response or acknowledgment
I see you doin shit online
I observe your activities and actions on the internet
And for all the times I should have cut in line
Regretting not taking opportunities or asserting myself when I had the chance
That I won't get out
That I will never be able to escape or overcome
