Iamdoechii Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey
By seven, I′m already drinking
Eight, I'm regretting the weekend
Nine, I′m feeling the vibe
You know how we do (hey, hey, hey)
Ooh
Look, I′ve been sippin′ Hennessy (Hennessy)
Like it's water, I can′t find the words to put this simply (put this simply)
I don't need your sympathy
I just want your empathy
Tell me that you feel me when I′m crying, and I'm throwing fits
You′re thе drug I need to fix, now
Tell me you ain't been around
Show me you'rе holding me down
Know that you been out of town
But, baby, I′m needing you now, yeah
Baby, I′m needing you now, yeah
Seven, I'm already drinking
Eight, I′m regretting the weekend
Nine, I'ma vibe
Ten, I′m already thinking 'bout you
Dario! Damn it
That shit was perfect
(You know how we do) you ′bout to be up
Honestly, I'ma keep it straight like that
In the song "Weekend" by Iamdoechii, the lyrics open with a repetition of "Hey, hey, hey" which sets the tone for a casual and fun atmosphere. The repetitive nature of these lines creates a sense of anticipation and excitement for what is to come. The artist then delves into a detailed description of their experiences throughout the evening. The lyrics "By seven, I'm already drinking / Eight, I'm regretting the weekend / Nine, I'm feeling the vibe / Ten, I'm already thinking 'bout you" illustrate a progression of emotions and actions as the night unfolds. The transition from drinking to contemplating someone special adds depth to the narrative, suggesting a mix of hedonistic and sentimental impulses at play.
The mention of sipping Hennessy like water highlights a carefree and indulgent attitude towards indulgence and pleasure. The artist struggles to articulate their feelings straightforwardly, expressing a desire for empathy rather than sympathy. The lines "Tell me that you feel me when I'm crying, and I'm throwing fits / You're the drug I need to fix" suggest a craving for emotional connection and support. The references to crying and seeking solace in the metaphorical "drug" of another person reveal vulnerability and a longing for intimacy amidst the revelry of the weekend.
The lyrics continue to capture a yearning for closeness and reassurance, as the artist sings about needing the presence and validation of a loved one. The repetition of "Baby, I'm needing you now, yeah" emphasizes a sense of urgency and longing for emotional connection. These lines convey a sense of vulnerability and a plea for understanding and comfort. The juxtaposition of partying and seeking emotional support reflects the complexity of human emotions and the desire for balance between carefree enjoyment and genuine connection.
The reference to a mysterious character named Dario and the affirmation that "that shit was perfect" suggest a moment of recognition or appreciation for a shared experience. The artist acknowledges the perfection of a particular interaction or connection, hinting at a sense of gratitude or significance in that moment. The song closes with the assertion that honesty will be maintained, implying a commitment to authenticity and transparency in relationships. The straightforward declaration "Honestly, I'ma keep it straight like that" reinforces the theme of open communication and sincerity in emotional interactions.
