Sober
Muse攀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The spicy aroma had mended me
Matured for years and imported
Into my glass you poured it
And you're the only reason
That I remain unfrozen
Suppose it stands to reason
You're so solid
You're so solid
It burns inside of me
'Cause you're so solid
It burns inside of me
And Wild Turkey's been chosen
It's caramel nose can smell me
Arbourler/Jameson, I love you
The single malts came burning
And you're the only reason
That I remain unfrozen
Suppose it stands to reason
That you would turn on me
You're so solid
You're so solid
It burns inside of me
'Cause you're so solid
It burns inside of me
Royal Canadian blended
The spicy aroma had mended me
And you're the only reason
That I remain unfrozen
Suppose it stands to reason
That you would turn on me
You're so solid
You're so solid
It burns inside of me
'Cause you're so solid
It burns inside of me
The song "Sober" by Muse is a melancholic piece that taps into human emotions which most people can relate to - betrayal and heartaches. The opening lines, "Royal Canadian blended / The spicy aroma had mended me / Matured for years and imported / Into my glass you poured it," describes a moment of relief and comfort from the aroma of whiskey in the glass, which acts as a form of escapism for the singer. He finds temporary solace in the whiskey as the aroma mends whatever hurt or pain he is currently feeling.
However, as the song progresses, the lyrics take a turn when the singer realizes that the person he trusted and relied on - the reason he remains unfrozen - has turned on him. The lines, "And you're the only reason / That I remain unfrozen / Suppose it stands to reason / That you would turn on me," reveal the betrayal he feels by this person whom he trusted. The reference to "Wild Turkey" and "Arbourler/Jameson" further solidifies the fact that he is drowning his sorrows, likely due to the pain caused by the betrayal.
The chorus "You're so solid / It burns inside of me / 'Cause you're so solid / It burns inside of me" reinforces the singer's feeling of betrayal and hurt, as the person who he once relied on becomes his source of pain. Overall, the song paints a vivid picture of the pain and betrayal caused by someone close to the singer.
