Still Wasted
Liam Lynch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was on my way to work, when I realized I'm wasted,
Still wasted from the party last night,
So I kicked back my seat and I loosened my tie,
I'm wasted (he's wasted),
Still wasted from the party last night,

The guys in the office might criticize me,
For lookin' like hell and smellin' like a brewery.
But I'm wasted (he's wasted),
Sitting here in traffic, and i'm wasted (he's wasted),
Still wasted from the party last night,

I'm only wearin' one shoe, there's no denyin' it,
I'm wasted (he's wasted),
Still wasted,
Put a smoke behind my ear,
And realized it was lit,
I'm wasted (he's wasted),
Still wasted from the party last night,

Sitting here in morning traffic,
I could go to work or I could just pass it by,
Cause I'm wasted (he's wasted),
Still wasted from the party last night,

I'm wearin' my bedsheets like a cape and a cowboy hat,
(he's wasted)
And naked,
But if I don't go to work how will I pay my tab,
I'm wasted (he's wasted)
Still wasted from the-
I said I'm wasted and party when the somethin' thats done-




Wasted somethin',
Party last night

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Liam Lynch's song "Still Wasted" tells the story of a man who wakes up in the morning and realizes he is still drunk from the party he attended the previous night. He's on his way to work but is in no state to function. He acknowledges that he looks terrible and smells of alcohol, but still cannot bring himself to change his position. Even though he's only wearing one shoe and his bedsheets as a cape and cowboy hat, he knows he has to go to work to pay his bills. He's stuck in traffic, realizing that he could easily skip work, but he is too wasted to make a rational decision.


The song is a comical take on the struggles of adulthood and how we try to balance our responsibilities with our desire to have fun. The singer's decision to go to work even though he's wasted is relatable for many who have had to struggle to balance work and personal life, especially after a night of partying. The song highlights the absurdity of the situation through its amusing lyrics and catchy melody.


Overall, the song can be interpreted as a commentary on societal expectations and the pressure to conform. The singer faces the decision to either take a sick day or power through his workday despite his hangover.

So awesome and yet reminds me of my 20's party runs

@c_eyes

I love the fact that Liam doesn't even get drunk irl but do great parodies of drunks and stoners :)

@esteemedyams

This happened to me more than once in my 20's.
The trick is to try to move and speak as little as possible and just wait until the day is over.

@Kittystag
