Whoops I OD'd
NOFX (usa) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Error in judgement cut my life, no second chance, no guiding light
I never meant, to cause., you pain
I never thought I'd be the one who took the fall
I got lost in the moment, assholes like to test the limit
Six minutes down, breathing machine, brain not feel right
The look on you, is killing me, drowning in shame
Hate regrets more than apologies
A year has passed, like photographs, my life is just
A scrapbook of old friends and faded memories
Looks like I pulled the rug out from under myself
The falls too much for me to recover from
It's been real fun but now I must say goodbye, I'll see you all at okie dogs
The NOFX (USA) song "Whoops, I OD'd" narrates the story of a person who overdosed on drugs and is facing the consequences of their actions. The lyrics describe a situation where the person realizes their mistake and regrets the pain they have caused to their loved ones. The verses create a vivid image of a person struggling for their life while being hooked up to a breathing machine. The chorus - "Whoops I OD'd, shortness of breath, call ambulance, tell my wife I love her" - is a desperate plea for help that is both heartbreaking and chilling.
The lyrics are full of remorse and self-blame. The singer did not intend to hurt anyone, and they express regret for the mistake they made. The line "I got lost in the moment, assholes like to test the limit" suggests that peer pressure and the desire to fit in could have contributed to the overdose.
The second verse describes the aftermath of the overdose - the physical and emotional toll it takes on the person and their loved ones. The line "but don't feel bad, 'cause I never feared consequences" highlights the notion that sometimes, people make mistakes without fully understanding the repercussions.
Overall, "Whoops I OD'd" is a somber song that addresses a serious issue. It serves as a reminder of the dangers of drug abuse and the importance of seeking help when in need.

Whoops I OD'd,
Shortness of breath.
Call ambulance,
Tell my wife I {love her}.
Error in judgement cut my life,
No second chance, no guiding light.
I never meant to cause you pain,
I never thought I'd be the one who took the fall.
I got lost in the moment,
Assholes like to test the limit.
Six minutes down,
Breathing machine,
Brain not feel right.
The look on you is killing me,
Drowning in shame but don't feel bad.
Cause I never feared consequences.
Hate regrets more than apologies.
A year has passed, like photographs.
My life is just a scrapbook,
Of old friends and faded memories.
Looks like I pulled the rug from under myself.
The fall's too much for me to recover from.
It's been real fun but now I must say goodbye.
I'll see you all at Oki Dogs,
I'll see you all at Oki Dogs.

Why is Fat Mike always overlooked as one of the best songwriters ever? He has written some of the most clever songs, and done it time and time again. Just my opinion.
@timramone8009
Yes. I really love how personal he can get sometimes with lyrics. "I Don't Like Me Anymore" is a great example.
@MarshallApplewhite143
He definitely has his moments. I really like one of the newer songs "I love you more than I hate me"

used to want this played at my funeral. but my addiction cost me everything but my life some how. and i would sadly trade it to not hurt the ones i love. now this song is more or less a story of a shitty time of my life. one love.
@aradiasnowdon7016
I grew up with this band, both my parents were huge fans. This song hits me hard now...my mom died earlier this year of an overdose. RIP Mom, I love you and I'll always remember the good times we had. I hope that you're jamming out with me up there.
