Woozy
PRETTY AWKWARD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whisky in my coffee and I know shouldn’t drive
Got hypnotized by the look in her eyes
Swore that we’d be better but we’re bad at goodbyes
Sipping with the swollen lip
That she gave me
Bruises on my neck
Cause she playing me playing me We’re a perfect storm
The worst kind
It’s been over for long long time
But then we get a little woozy
Trying fill the holes we leave
Forgetting we’re done
Dammit it’s fun
Chasing after that young love dumb love
Just a little woozy
Isn’t it a shame how we get what we need
We shed a little blood
Get a little buzzed
Chasing after that young love dumb love
She loves to fight and knows just what I like
Got the scars to prove it but I ain’t never cried
I could try but ya know my hands are tied
Four post bed and another wild night
Kissing with the swollen lip
That she gave me
Bruises on my neck
Cause she playing me playing me
Were the perfect storm
The worst kind
Been fucked up for long long time
But then we get a little woozy
Forgetting we’re done
Dammit it’s fun
Chasing after that young love dumb love
Just a little woozy
Isn’t it a shame how we get what we need
We shed a little blood
Get a little buzzed
Chasing after that young love dumb love
Young love dumb love
We’re so high
Losing every second so we up all night
Young love dumb love
Can’t lie
She my dirty habit even though it’s not right
But then we get a little woozy
Trying fill the holes we leave
Forgetting we’re done
Dammit it’s fun
Chasing after that young love dumb love
Just a little woozy
Isn’t it a shame how we get what we need
We shed a little blood
Get a little buzzed
Chasing after that young love dumb love
Woo, woo
We get a little woozy
Get a little woozy
Woo, woo
We get a little woozy
Get a little woozy
The lyrics to "Woozy" by PRETTY AWKWARD portray a tumultuous and addictive relationship between two individuals who are unable to let go of each other despite the toxicity and pain they bring into each other's lives. The singer describes watching the sunrise with whisky in their coffee at a quarter past 5, highlighting the early morning hours when their connection feels both intoxicating and dangerous. The mention of being hypnotized by the look in their partner's eyes and the struggles with goodbyes suggests a deep emotional entanglement that neither can easily break free from.
The lyrics delve into the physical toll of the relationship, with references to swollen lips, bruises, and scars that serve as painful reminders of the intensity and passion that characterizes their interactions. Despite knowing that the relationship is over and acknowledging the harm caused, there is a sense of thrill and excitement in the reckless pursuit of this "young love dumb love." The cycle of getting "a little woozy" and trying to fill the voids they create in each other's lives becomes a repetitive pattern that they are unable to escape from.
The chorus reflects on the addictive nature of their connection, as they shed blood and numb themselves with alcohol in a futile attempt to recapture the fleeting moments of passion and intensity they once shared. The references to staying up all night and losing track of time further emphasize the all-consuming nature of their dynamic, which is full of highs and lows. Despite the acknowledgment of the dysfunctionality of their relationship, there is a sense of defiance and resignation in their actions, as they continue to chase after a love that is both destructive and irresistible.
Overall, the lyrics of "Woozy" paint a vivid picture of a toxic and addictive relationship that is marked by passion, pain, and a stubborn refusal to let go. The repeated references to getting "a little woozy" serve as a metaphor for the disorienting and dizzying effect that their love has on them, blurring the lines between pleasure and pain. The song captures the complex and conflicting emotions that come with being in a relationship that is both destructive and intoxicating, ultimately leaving the listener with a haunting and raw depiction of the highs and lows of love gone awry.
