Drunken Lament
Ludo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You told me, showing restraint
Now you're gone, and I'm lost
In the swells, I am tossed
Bobbing and choking and losing the fight in the fog
You said forever
Tell me why can't you stay?
[Chorus]
I'd ride in your pocket all day
But I just don't fit, say the word and I'll change
I'm throwing a party tonight
I drink more than a sailor I'm sure
Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies
Oh,
Drunk since Saturday
Without you, without restraint
It still stings where you stung
Water swings in my lungs
I'm starving for words that would ration my sadness away
Tell me forever
Tell me you'll come back to stay
[Chorus]
I'd ride in your pocket all day
But I just don't fit, say the word and I'll change
I'm throwing a party tonight
I drink more than a sailor I'm sure
Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies
You were the mermaid for me
Till one day, you found your feet
Leaving me
In the God-awful bottle, a model of heartache and grief
[Chorus]
I'd ride in your pocket all day
But I just don't fit, say the word and I'll change
I'm throwing a party tonight
I drink more than a sailor I'm sure
Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies
The lyrics of Ludo's song "Drunken Lament" express a sense of self-loathing and despair after a relationship ends. The singer is lost in the swells of his own emotions and drowning in his grief, expressed by the water swings in his lungs. Throughout the song, he longs for his former partner to return, asking why she can't stay and telling her to promise him forever. He feels like he doesn't fit into her life anymore, but he would change himself if he could just be with her again.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, as the singer imagines himself as a tiny object, like a piece of lint, that could ride in her pocket all day. He knows he doesn't belong there, but he wishes he did. Instead, he's throwing a wild party and drowning his sorrows in alcohol, getting so drunk he pours rum in his eyes.
The final verse, "You were the mermaid for me/Till one day, you found your feet/Leaving me/In the God-awful bottle, a model of heartache and grief," is a beautiful metaphor for the end of a relationship. It captures the feeling of being left behind, trapped in one's own grief, while the other person moves on.
Overall, the song is a powerful expression of heartache and longing, set against the backdrop of a wild party fueled by alcohol and despair.
Line by Line Meaning
Self-loathing is quaint
Mocking self-pity is something often done, but not necessary or productive
You told me, showing restraint
You used to advise me to hold back and be patient in difficult times
Now you're gone, and I'm lost
Since you've left, I feel directionless and uncertain
In the swells, I am tossed
I am being thrown about and overwhelmed by difficult circumstances
Bobbing and choking and losing the fight in the fog
I'm struggling to keep my head above water, choking on my feelings, and losing my way
You said forever
You promised we would always be together
Tell me why can't you stay?
Please explain why you couldn't keep your promise and stay with me
I'd ride in your pocket all day
I would be with you constantly, following you everywhere you go
But I just don't fit, say the word and I'll change
However, I know that the reality is I don't belong in your world, but if you want me to, I'll become someone else
I'm throwing a party tonight
I'm using alcohol and celebrations to distract myself from my sadness
I drink more than a sailor I'm sure
I drink excessively to numb my pain
Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies
I'm begging anyone to help me forget the truth, even if it means deceiving me
Drunk since Saturday
I've been continuously drunk since the weekend
Without you, without restraint
I drink to excess without self-control or moderation since you left
It still stings where you stung
I'm still hurt by the pain you caused
Water swings in my lungs
The pain is so intense it feels like I'm drowning
I'm starving for words that would ration my sadness away
I desperately need comforting words or actions that could alleviate my overwhelming emotions
You were the mermaid for me
You were a perfect match for me, like a mythical mermaid
Till one day, you found your feet
Until the day you realized you were too good for me
Leaving me
You left me behind, alone and heartbroken
In the God-awful bottle, a model of heartache and grief
I'm stuck in a cycle of drinking and misery, constantly reenacting my pain
