100 Blouses
Low Millions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't close my eyes
So love sick
I want to be with you tonight
So desperate
I think I'll hit the bars
So tired
Of not having you in my arms
Out to dinner
Then I'll take off all her clothes
And look for you in her
100 blouses come undone
I look for you in everyone
I touch so much that I go numb
I look for you in everyone
The drugs don't work
I can't get high
But that don't mean that I won't try
Another night of absent flesh
Another night of restlessness
99 lovers to go
I may never fill the whole
98 lovers and I
Still don't feel satisfied
Let everyone come
Everyone
The lyrics to Low Millions' song "100 Blouses" suggest a man who is deeply infatuated with a woman he can't have. He is "dizzy," "love sick," and "desperate" for her company, but she is not with him. He considers going out to a bar, taking home one of her friends, and undressing her, hoping to find some sort of fulfillment. The chorus reinforces his despair – he is constantly searching for her in the people he touches and in the women he seeks, but never finding her. The singer is aware of his self-destructive behavior as he admits that the drugs don't work, yet he still tries to numb the pain.
The song's title, "100 Blouses," suggests a longing for a significant other, as he is looking for that special someone in every blouse he undresses. The chorus amplifies this as he mentions touching so much that he goes numb, implying that he is searching for physical affection in any form or person he can find.
This song's lyrics describe a journey through addiction and heartache. The singer is aware of his actions as he seeks comfort in any way possible, yet he can't help himself. The lyrics evoke a sense of desperation that is accentuated by the singer's somber tone. It is clear that the man is searching for something deeper than a physical connection, as implied in the lines "I may never fill the whole (hole"/"soul)".
