Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
‘Coz it's getting boring.
The way you talk to me,
Makes me feel disgusting.
I know I did you wrong,
But its time you just move on.
Gotta stop picking up these drunk calls,
‘Coz its getting boring
To tell me something.
You're seeing someone else,
And now you're bragging.
Gotta stop picking up these drunk calls
Gotta stop picking up these drunk calls
Gotta stop picking up these drunk calls
‘Coz it's getting boring.
Wide awake at 4AM
While you're shouting.
Found someone better than you
Found someone better than you
I'm wide awake at 4AM
While you're shouting.
Found someone better than you
Found someone better than you
Gotta stop picking up these drunk calls,
‘Coz it's getting boring
Leave me to myself,
You're way too distracting.
I know you were the one,
But I'm done and I'm done and I'm done.
Gotta stop picking up these drunks calls,
‘Coz it's getting boring.
Gotta stop picking up these drunk calls
Gotta stop picking up these drunk calls
Gotta stop picking up these drunk calls
‘Coz it's getting boring.
Wide awake at 4AM While you're shouting.
Found someone better than you
Found someone better than you
I'm Wide awake at 4AM
While you're shouting.
Found someone better than you
Found someone better than you
If you're so happy with him,
Then why we still talking?
If you're so happy with him,
Then why we still talking?
If you're so happy with him,
Then why we still talking?
Oh right, you're bragging.
If you're so happy with him,
Then why we still talking?
If you're so happy with him,
Then why we still talking?
If you're so happy with him,
Then why we still talking?
Oh right, Its coz you're fucking bragging.
And all I hear is fucking bragging
All I hear is fucking bragging
All I hear is fucking bragging,
Oh right, you're always fucking bragging.
Wide awake at 4AM
While you're shouting.
Found someone better than you
Found someone better than you
I'm Wide awake at 4AM
While you're shouting.
Found someone better than you
Found someone better than you
If you're so happy with him,
Then why we still talking?
If you're so happy with him,
Then why we still talking?
If you're so happy with him,
Then why we still talking?
Oh right, you're bragging
The song "4AM" by MassMatiks is about moving on from a toxic relationship and not letting the past hold you back. The singer of the song has been receiving drunk calls from their ex-partner who is now seeing someone else. The singer is tired of the calls and the way their ex talks to them, making them feel disgusting. The ex is also bragging about their new relationship, which only adds to the singer's discomfort. The singer knows they did wrong, but it's time to move on and stop picking up these drunk calls. The song is a reminder that it's important to let go of toxic relationships, even if it's difficult.
The song's chorus repeats the line "Gotta stop picking up these drunk calls" four times, emphasizing the importance of breaking free from the past. The singer is wide awake at 4AM, listening to their ex shout about their new partner, who is apparently better than the singer. The ex is so happy with their new partner that it's confusing why they are still talking to the singer. The singer realizes that it's only because their ex is bragging, trying to make them jealous or upset. The song ends with the repeated line "All I hear is fucking bragging" and a final reminder that the singer has found someone better and is moving on.
Overall, "4AM" is a relatable song for anyone who has been in a toxic relationship and needed to break away. The song's catchy chorus and powerful lyrics make it a great anthem for moving on.
Line by Line Meaning
Gotta stop picking up these drunk calls
I need to stop answering your calls when you're drunk, it's becoming monotonous
‘Coz it's getting boring.
Because it's repetitive and uneventful
The way you talk to me,
The manner in which you communicate with me
Makes me feel disgusting.
Gives me a feeling of repulsion or aversion
I know I did you wrong,
I understand that I have mistreated you in some way
But its time you just move on.
It's time for you to let go and move forward
You seem excited,
You appear to be enthusiastic or thrilled
To tell me something.
To reveal or disclose information to me
You're seeing someone else,
You have started seeing another person romantically
And now you're bragging.
And now you're boasting or showing off
Wide awake at 4AM
Unable to sleep at 4 in the morning
While you're shouting.
While you're screaming or yelling
Found someone better than you
Moving on to someone who is superior to you
Leave me to myself,
Let me be alone and without interference
You're way too distracting.
You're too much of a distraction or interruption
But I'm done and I'm done and I'm done.
I'm completely finished and have no intention of continuing any further
If you're so happy with him,
If you're truly satisfied with your new partner
Then why we still talking?
Then why are we still conversing?
Oh right, you're bragging.
Oh, I see, you're just showing off
And all I hear is fucking bragging
And all I can hear is vain and conceited boastfulness
Oh right, you're always fucking bragging.
Oh, I see, you're always boasting about yourself

Saw these guys two nights in a row in Birmingham with Don Broco. Fucking brilliant lads. Sick music, unreal stage presence and really solid off stage. Hope this song gets all the recognition it deserves, they're definitely onto good things soon.

Saw these guys for the first time in Plymouth this week as support for The One Hundred and this song knocked me for 6 the first time I heard it - couldn't wait to get here and look it up. It's even better than I remember what an amazing song and what a great live band.
