We're on Drugs
Pitty Sing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I walk this world alone
Until she gets the phone
Go to sleep in this state
But as soon as I awake
The sun reveals her face
And then it comes when it feels like we're in love
When I'm walking the streets
I wish we never meet
I always kiss your feet
And then the moment it falls
I'm about to lose it all
I'm buried in the walls
Yeah we're on drugs
And then it comes when it feels like we're in love
And they've covered us in blood
Just remember we're on drugs
We're on drugs
In Pitty Sing's song 'We're on Drugs,' the lyrics describe the feelings of being lost and alone when away from a loved one, but also the intense connection and ecstasy felt when reunited. The opening lines, "When she's not at home, I walk this world alone, until she gets the phone," vividly express the feelings of loneliness and reliance on the other person. It seems as though the singer finds it hard to function without his partner present, and it's only when they are together that he feels truly alive. The lines "As soon as I awake, the sun reveals her face" suggest that the singer doesn't have to wait too long to see his partner after waking up, highlighting the importance of their relationship.
The chorus, "And then it comes when it feels like we're in love, just remember, we're on drugs," is a clear reference to the influence of drugs on their intense emotional connection. The singer acknowledges that their relationship is fueled by drugs, but it doesn't take away from the depth of their feelings. When they're together, their love feels real to them, regardless of the influence of the drugs. In the second verse, the singer expresses his apprehensions about meeting his partner again, knowing how emotionally overwhelming the experience can be for him. He fears losing control and becoming consumed by their relationship once more. The final lines of the song repeat the chorus, driving home the message that despite any challenges they may face, they are still on drugs - and perhaps always will be.
