Overdose
Lil Zubin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every little thing we felt
Every little cry for help
Tombstone grey upon my face, yeah, I've seen better days
My blood runs thinner now
Our lights went dimmer down
Of our hearts just let it out
I'm just tryna keep my cool
Prescriptions change my attitude
And my heart can't take this altitude, no
I'm so high for you
I might die for you
I might overdose on you
I might overdose on you
Overdose on you (I might overdose on you)
I might overdose on you
Ooh baby it's good to see you again
Past time and through dimensions
If you all want change then mind still might
There's nothing there in her reflection
I need time to collect myself
And not I'd add myself to her collection
Why can't I read her expression?
I still wanna be bad with you
Even though you never really asked me to
A change that doesn't last
A pain that never ends
There's a person that I'll never know
If I step back, will you step back?
It's deadbeat on her comprehension
I might overdose on you
I might overdose on you
Overdose on you (I might overdose on you)
I might overdose on you
The lyrics to Lil Zubin's song "Overdose" talks about a relationship that never really took off but remains toxic. The lines "Oh baby, why you actin' like you don't know? / Every little thing we felt" suggests that both parties in the relationship are aware of the love they felt for one another but are trying to ignore it. The lines "I wanna do it all for you / I'm just tryna keep my cool / Prescriptions change my attitude / And my heart can't take this altitude, no" depict how the singer is willing to go to great lengths for the other person, but the prescription drugs he's taking to cope with the pain are affecting his emotions, causing him to struggle with the relationship.
The chorus "I might overdose on you" repeats several times, suggesting that the singer is willing to risk everything to be with the other person, even if it means harming himself in the process. The line "There's a person that I'll never know / If I step back, will you step back?" paints a picture of uncertainty and unease in the relationship. The singer does not recognize the person he's become within the relationship and wonders if he should step back and allow the other person to do the same.
Overall, the song reflects the struggles of a toxic relationship that both parties want to keep alive, but the circumstances are making it hard for them to keep going.
