Somebody Put Something In My Drink
Nosferatu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another night out on the street
Stopping for my usual seat
Oh, bartender, please
Tanqueray and tonic′s my favorite drink
I don't like anything colored pink
It feels like somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something
Blurred vision and dirty thoughts
Feel out of place, very distraught
Feel something coming on
Yeah, kick the jukebox, slam the floor
Drink, drink, drink, drink some more
I can't think
Hey, what's in this drink?
It feels like somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
In my drink
In my drink
In my drink
In my drink
So you think it′s funny, a college prank
Goin′ insane for something to drink
Feel a little dry
Oh, I couldn't care what you think of me
′Cause somebody put something in my drink
I can't think
Hey, give me a drink
It feels like somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something (in my drink)
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something (in my drink)
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something (in my drink)
Somebody put something in my drink
The lyrics to Nosferatu's song "Somebody Put Something In My Drink" depict a person who is out on the street, enjoying their usual seat at a bar. They order their favorite drink, Tanqueray and tonic, but something feels off. They notice that their vision is blurred, they have dirty thoughts, and they feel out of place and distraught. The person suspects that someone has spiked their drink without their knowledge, which explains their sudden intoxication and altered state of mind. They become more reckless, slamming the jukebox and the floor, and continue to drink excessively, unable to think clearly. The person is aware that others might find their behavior amusing, considering it a college prank, but they couldn't care less about their opinion because they are consumed by the effects of the spiked drink. They demand another drink, feeling dry and desperate for more.
Overall, the lyrics portray a sense of confusion, disorientation, and loss of control due to the unknown substance added to the singer's drink. It highlights the vulnerability of individuals in social settings and suggests the potential dangers of not being aware of what one consumes. The song captures the experience of someone who finds themselves in a state of intoxication and searching for answers to explain their altered state of mind.
