Well Run Dry
Phat Phunktion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been awake since Friday, veins full of sin
Can't go home this way again
Devil's knockin, let him in
All night, all day
After a while its all the same
No pride, no shame
Went down to the well too many times
Bring me back from hell, let the water clear my eyes
Now I can see the well run dry
Can't believe how I used to be
Till my true friends came and rescued me
It's a long road to be free
Devils gone, now I see
All night, all day
After a while its all the same
No pride, no shame
Gotta try to break the chain
Went down to the well too many times
Bring me back from hell, let the water clear my eyes
Now I can see the well run dry
All night, all day
After a while its all the same
No pride, no shame
Gotta try to break the chain
Went down to the well too many times
Bring me back from hell, let the water clear my eyes
Went down to the well too many times
Bring me back from hell, let the water clear my eyes
Now I can see the well run dry
Now I can see the well run
The song "Well Run Dry" by Phat Phunktion is about someone who has hit rock bottom after a continuous cycle of drug use, and is now looking to turn their life around. The opening lines of the song paint the picture of someone who has been up for days, completely consumed by their addiction. The repetition of "All night, all day, after awhile it's all the same" reflects the monotony of an addict's life, where the only thing that matters is finding the next fix. The singer is aware that they cannot keep living this way, as evidenced by the line "Can't go home this way again."
The lyrics show the singer's journey to redemption, symbolized by going to the well too many times. In this case, the well represents drugs, and going back too many times is a representation of hitting rock bottom. But the singer is determined to change their ways and find new life. The line "Bring me back from hell, let the water clear my eyes" symbolizes that the singer has been in a dark place but has sought redemption and is looking to turn their life around. The line "Now I can see the well run dry" represents the end of their addiction and the beginning of a new life.
Overall, "Well Run Dry" is a powerful anthem of hope and redemption. It encourages people who are struggling with addiction to seek help and to never lose hope.
