Overdose
J-Ron Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Little do you know
How I'm breakin' while you fall asleep
Little do you know
I'm still haunted by the memories
Little do you know
I'm tryin' to pick myself up piece by piece
Little do you know
I need a little more time

Underneath it all I'm held captive by the hole inside
I've been holding back for the fear that you might change your mind
I'm ready to forgive you, but forgettin' is a harder fight
Little do you know
I need a little more time
(Aye, yo Jeffery this one broke my heart)
(J.D. baby)

In a crowed room
I still feel alone (feel alone)
Why tell me you love me
When you know you don't (you know you don't)
When I was up
Everybody came around (came around)
When I lost it all
Ain't nobody couldn't be found
Don't call or text my phone
Just leave me the fuck alone
I'm in my own zone
Knowing I'm a die alone
We sit around and we crack jokes (aye)
Took so many pills
I'm probably gonna overdose

I take these pills to numb the pain (numb the pain)
Yeah, but I got a feeling
My demons gonna take me away
By tonight, my life's been wrong
I'm trying to make it right
So I just roll the dice (roll the dice)
God saved me some many times
Don't know if he can do it tonight
My hearts been aching
I put that shit on ice
I been in my head laying in my bed
I just wanna be gone
So stressed and depressed
I just wanna be gone
Aye, everything I loved
Just don't excite me no more
Gunner, Piper and bexlie ( I love y'all)
Y'all are who I do this for
As a kid I use to dream
Now all I have is nightmares
I'm 25 now
You said I'd be lucky if I got here
I got immune to the pills (aye)
I up'd my dosage (dosage)
It's so sad (just so sad)
I might end up overdosing
I'm happy when I'm high (high)
I'm sad when I'm sober
This has been a tough battle
Don't cry when the war is over
I really hate this disease
Constantly searching for peace
Send my soul up
Put my body six feet

In a crowed room
I still feel alone (feel alone)
Why tell me you love me
When you know you don't (you know you don't)
When I was up
Everybody came around (came around)
When I lost it all
Ain't nobody couldn't be found
Don't call or text my phone
Just leave me the fuck alone
I'm in my own zone
Knowing I'm a die alone
We sit around and we crack jokes (aye)
Took so many pills
I'm probably gonna overdose

I take these pills to numb the pain
Take me away
Trying to make it right
Roll the dice
God saved me some many times
Don't know if he can do it tonight
My hearts been aching
I put that shit on ice
I been in my head laying in my bed
I just wanna be gone
So stressed and depressed
I just wanna be gone
Aye, everything I loved
Just don't excite me no more
Gunner, Piper and bexlie
Y'all are who I do this for
As a kid I use to dream
Now all I have is nightmares

I'm 25 now
You said I'd be lucky if I got here

The line, "Don't call or text my phone, Just leave me the fuck alone, I'm in my own zone," signifies a desire for solitude and solitude, as well as a sense of resignation to the idea of dying alone.

The chorus represents the singer's reliance on substances, particularly pills, to escape the pain and numb their emotions.
