Love Shots
Myah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mmh, 'cuz you won't give me no more
Mmh, I'm feeling more than drunk tonight
Between my blankets I see the light
Mmh, don't wanna od (ooh-ooh)
Everybody wants to help me, they don't
Mmh, you're always finding your way in
I can't fight it
Everytime I try to I get closer to you
I'm fading, in and out of it, all they see is this
Like the love is in the shotglass, outcast
Out here on the floor, baby can't ignore
I know you feel that, I know you feel that
My cup is always half gone (ah)
Mmh, I wonder where I went wrong, I don't know
I feel my lips going numb
'Cuz all the shots I've done, I'm gone
Everybody has their vices
Liquor, weed and diamonds (you're mine)
Oh, and the sky's melting
I might be drowning
It only gets worse (no)
I can't fight it
Everytime I try to I get closer to you
I'm fading, in and out of it, all they see is this
It's just you that is in the shotglass, outcast
Out here on the floor, baby can't ignore
You know you feel that, I know you feel that
I can't fight it
Everytime I try to I get closer to you
I'm fading, in and out of it, all they see is this
Like the love is in the shotglass, outcast
Adi on the floor, baby can't ignore
I know you hear that, I know you do
The lyrics to Myah's song Love Shots tell the story of someone who is dependent on their significant other and alcohol to feel alive. The opening lyrics suggest that despite having a positive outlook on life ("my cup is always half full"), the singer is feeling unfulfilled because their partner won't give them what they need. They turn to alcohol and find comfort in its numbing effects ("I'm feeling more than drunk tonight...My cup is always half gone...I feel my lips going numb").
The second verse acknowledges that everyone has their own vices, whether it be drugs, material possessions, or other forms of escapism. It also hints at a sense of danger or impending doom ("the sky's melting...I might be drowning...it only gets worse") but the singer seems unable or unwilling to change their ways.
The chorus repeats the idea that the love between the singer and their partner is like a shot in a glass or a fleeting moment, something that is constantly present yet always slipping away. Despite this, the singer is unable to resist the pull of their partner ("every time I try to I get closer to you"), and they acknowledge that their behavior is concerning ("I can't fight it...I'm fading in and out of it...all they see is this").
Overall, Love Shots is a melancholy yet relatable song about the struggles of addiction, both to a person and a substance.

Everybody has their vices
Everyone has their own way of coping with life's challenges
Liquor, weed and diamonds (you're mine)
For me, my addiction is you
Oh, and the sky's melting
Things are falling apart around me
I might be drowning
I may be in too deep
It only gets worse (no)
My addiction will only continue to spiral out of control
Adi on the floor, baby can't ignore
Despite the pain, I can't ignore my feelings for you
You know you feel that, I know you feel that
You feel the same way about me as I feel about you
