Throwin' Parties
Hunter Phelps Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Couldnβ²t even say it to my face
Baby ever since you left
I ain't left my place, Iβ²ve been here for days
Drinking all night long
Drinking 'til it's gone
But I donβ²t need no sympathy
Girl you should know I ainβ²t drinking all alone
'Cause Iβ²ve been throwin' parties
Iβ²ve been acting like the neighborhood rockstar
Tire tracks in the grass where the cars park
Broken Jack bottles all up in the backyard
Yeah I've been throwinβ² parties
I've been hanging with girls you don't like
Having the time of my life
Had a full cup since we broke up
Iβ²m only losing sleep at night
β²Cause I've been throwinβ² parties
Girl I've been throwinβ² parties
I didn't tell your friends to come
They just showed up anyways
Donβ²t get mad at them, no
Baby I'm the one to blame
'Cause Iβ²ve been throwinβ² parties
I've been acting like the neighborhood rockstar
Tire tracks in the grass where the cars park
Broken Jack bottles all up in the backyard
Yeah Iβ²ve been throwin' parties
Iβ²ve been hanging with girls you don't like
Having the time of my life
Had a full cup since we broke up
Iβ²m only losing sleep at night
'Cause I've been throwinβ² parties
Girl Iβ²ve been throwin' parties
Every night I raise my drink up high, up high
And sing na, na, na, na, hey, hey, goodbye, goodbye
Every night I raise my drink up high, up high
And sing na, na, na, na, hey, hey, goodbye, goodbye
β²Cause I've been throwinβ² parties
I've been acting like the neighborhood rockstar
Tire tracks in the grass where the cars park
Broken Jack bottles all up in the backyard
Yeah Iβ²ve been throwin' parties
I've been hanging with girls you donβ²t like
Having the time of my life
Had a full cup since we broke up
Iβ²m only losing sleep at night
'Cause Iβ²ve been throwin' parties
Girl Iβ²ve been throwin' parties
β²Cause I've been throwin' parties
Girl Iβ²ve been throwing parties
The song "Throwin' Parties" by Hunter Phelps is about a man who is trying to move on from a past relationship. The lyrics convey the message that the singer of the song is no longer in sorrow and is now having the time of his life after a break-up. The song starts with the singer receiving a text from his ex-partner, which he cannot face; thus, he chooses to stay back at his place and indulge in drinking. However, he is not alone as he is seen throwing parties and acting like a neighborhood rockstar. There are tire tracks in the grass where the cars park and broken Jack bottles are strewn all over the backyard, depicting a wild party going on.
The chorus is repeated multiple times, and the lyrics "β²Cause Iβ²ve been throwinβ² parties, girl Iβ²ve been throwin' parties" are used as a way of venting out the singer's emotions. The singer has moved on after his breakup, and the lyrics indicate that he is no longer keeping to himself, but instead is interacting with girls his ex-girlfriend would not like. The hook of the song is repeated twice, in which the singer raises his drink high and sings na, na, na, na, hey, hey, goodbye, goodbye. This line exemplifies the fact that the singer has let go of his past.
Overall, the song "Throwin Parties" highlights the theme of moving on and living life carefree after breakup. The song is relatable to individuals who have faced heartbreak and inadvertently suggests that partying with friends can be a way of healing from emotional distress.
