Jazz & Cinema Vol. 3 Lyrics

Verse 1
I had a dream I went out
I overdosed on my doubt
Yeah, it was real, it was strange
Had nothing but doubt in my veins
Like when I'm awake that don't change
But it didn't seem to be bad,
It kind of felt good not being sad
Pre 1
And when I wake up in the morning
I'll just keep on with ignoring
Everyday feel less important
Yeah, things feel better when I'm dreamin'
I can leave things without leavin'
Cut my wrists without the bleeding
Chorus
I had a dream I went out
I overdosed on my doubt
Yeah, it was real, it was strange
Had nothing but doubt in my veins
I could feel all of the pain,
Like when I'm awake that don't change
No, it didn't seem to be bad,
It kinda felt good not being sad
It kinda felt good not being sad
Verse 2
I had a dream where I fell
And no one could hear when I'd yell
But I didn't seem to be scared
It kinda felt good with no one there
Pre 2
And when I wake up in the morning
Forty miles south of Portland
Everyday a bit more foreign
Yeah, things feel better when I'm dreamin'
I can leave things without leavin'
Cut my wrists without the bleeding
Chorus
I had a dream I went out
I overdosed on my doubt
Yeah, it was real, it was strange
Had nothing but doubt in my veins
I could feel all of the pain,
Like when I'm awake that don't change
No, it didn't seem to be bad,
It kinda felt good not being sad
It kinda felt good not being sad
Bridge
Would it even matter if I did
Five, four, three, two, one, I'm off the grid
Maybe they would think the knife had slipped,
But would it even matter if it did
Where'd my feelings go I think they hid,
Cause when I shut my eyes, I can only see my eye lids
Thinking that there's something that I missed,
But would it even matter if there is
Chorus
I had a dream I went out
I overdosed on my doubt
Yeah, it was real, it was strange
Had nothing but doubt in my veins
I could feel all of the pain,
Like when I'm awake that don't change
No, it didn't seem to be bad,
It kinda felt good not being sad
The song "Overdose" by Jazz & Cinema Vol. 3 explores the themes of doubt, pain, and escapism through the lens of dreaming. In the verses, the singer describes a dream where they overdose on their doubt, highlighting their constant struggles and insecurities. Despite the pain they feel in their waking life, in the dream, the overdose doesn't seem to be bad. It actually feels good not to be sad, suggesting that the dream serves as an escape from their negative emotions.
The pre-choruses further emphasize this idea of escapism. The singer finds comfort in ignoring their problems and feeling less important in their daily life. They describe how things feel better when they're dreaming because they can leave things behind without physically leaving, like cutting their wrists without the actual pain. This showcases the allure of dreams as a way to cope with their emotions and detach from reality.
In verse two, the dream takes a different turn. The singer experiences a fall and realizes that no one can hear them when they yell. Surprisingly, they find comfort in the absence of others. This suggests that they might prefer isolation and solitude over dealing with the complexities of human relationships.
The bridge delves deeper into the singer's mindset, questioning the significance of their actions and emotions. They contemplate if it would even matter if they went off the grid or if anyone would notice if they slipped with a knife. They express a sense of detachment from their own feelings, as if they are hidden or non-existent. The lyrics imply a longing for something they may have missed, but question whether it would even matter if they found it.
Overall, "Overdose" portrays a complex relationship with dreams and the desire to escape from pain and doubt. It highlights the conflicting emotions of finding solace in dreams while also questioning the significance and impact of their actions and emotions.

Upon awakening in the morning
Forty miles south of Portland
In a location forty miles south of Portland
Everyday a bit more foreign
Every day, the surroundings become increasingly unfamiliar
Would it even matter if I did
Would it truly make a difference if I did
Five, four, three, two, one, I'm off the grid
Counting down from five, four, three, two, one, I disconnect from society
Maybe they would think the knife had slipped
Perhaps others would perceive it as an accidental knife injury
But would it even matter if it did
But would it truly hold any significance if that were the case
Where'd my feelings go I think they hid
I wonder where my emotions have gone, I believe they have hidden themselves
Cause when I shut my eyes, I can only see my eye lids
Because when I close my eyes, all I can visualize are my closed eyelids
Thinking that there's something that I missed
Contemplating the possibility of having overlooked something
But would it even matter if there is
But would it truly make a difference if that were the case
