Overdose
Mikito-P Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, I've been feeling like I'm stuck in a rut
I'm over thinking, sinking deep in the cut
Maybe I could really use a helping hand
Maybe I could use someone who'd understand

Feeling like my time's up
Who sped up the damn clock
Cause I'm only alive for a little longer

Keep on feeding the flames cause it's all that it takes

Watch me overdose
High on desire
Watch me overdose
So I can fly higher
I can't seem breathe without the pressure
Watch me overdose
High on desire
Watch me overdose
Watch me overdose

I'm systematically in over my head
Why do I feel alive when so close to death
Even if I had a chance to take it slow
Anxiety, inside of me, won't let me go

Feeling like my time's up
Who sped up the damn clock
Cause I'm only alive for a little longer
Keep on feeding the flames cause it's all that it takes

Watch me overdose
High on desire
Watch me overdose
So I can fly higher
I can't seem breathe without the pressure
Watch me overdose
High on desire
Watch me overdose
Watch me overdose

Watch me overdose
Watch me overdose

Feeling like my time's up
Who sped up the damn clock
Cause I'm only alive for a little longer
Keep on feeding the flames cause it's all that it takes

Watch me overdose
High on desire
Watch me overdose
So I can fly higher
I can't seem breathe without the pressure
Watch me overdose

High on desire
Watch me overdose

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mikito-P's song "Overdose" speak to the feeling of being stuck in a rut and feeling like time is running out.

The idea of time being up is repeated throughout the song, with the singer asking who sped up the clock and stating that they are only alive for a little longer. It is clear that the singer is feeling a great deal of pressure and anxiety, and this is something that is keeping them from being able to take things slow and enjoy life.

Despite this, the singer seems to be seeking some kind of release or escape, and the repeated refrain of "watch me overdose, high on desire, so I can fly higher" speaks to this desire. The idea of overdosing on something, whether it be drugs or some other kind of experience, is presented as both dangerous and necessary. There is a sense that the singer needs to push themselves to the limit in order to feel alive, even if it means risking everything.

Overall, the lyrics of "Overdose" speak to the pressures and anxieties that many people feel in their daily lives. The desire to escape or find release is understandable, but the risks that come with overdosing should not be ignored. Ultimately, it is up to each individual to find healthy ways to deal with the stresses of life.
