Sink
Poppy Tears Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've had one too many sedatives
Lil black lungs and my bodies thin
Put it on my tongue and I'll finish them
Think I'm gona swim then I fucking sink

It's been sitting on my mind now its 3am
Need some amtrip, a smoke and klonopin
It's my only way too cope so I get it in

Couldn't tell you where I've gone or where I've been

I've had one too many sedatives
Lil black lungs and my bodies thin
Put it on my tongue and I'll finish them
Think I'm gona swim then I fucking sink

Water on my neck like a camelback
Everything changed round the time I dropped heart attack
I can deal with sudden droughts in my happiness
But I can't fuck with repercussions from the loneliness

And I can't deal with all the thoughts inside my skull
Seeing ghosts, when I smoke, ima die or hit a wall

Feel fine when I'm up again
Dying out I'm never getting high again

I'm not ever coming by again
I will take that to my grave and I will lie in it
All the memories that molded me to who I am
All the memories went up inside the firepit
Inside the firepit.

Ashes down in the centre of the graveyard

All our pictures lying melted in the sim card
All our pictures lying melted in the sim card

Overall Meaning

In "Sink" by Poppy Tears, the lyrics unravel the story of a person who is struggling with addiction and depression. The singer reveals that they have taken too many sedatives and their body is frail. They are coping with their pain through pills and drug abuse, and they say that they are capable of finishing an entire bottle of pills at once. Suicide seems to be swirling around in their mind, and they are torn between wanting to keep swimming against the tide and just giving in to the pain and sinking. They struggle to find hope for their future or even a way out of the pain they face each day.

The second verse of the song dives deeper into the singer's struggles. They are up late, and they need "amtrip, a smoke, and klonopin" to help them cope. They can't remember where they've been or where they are going. They feel trapped inside their head, haunted by ghosts and the fear of dying. They don't trust themselves or the future, fearing that even if they get back up, they will fall again anyway. Finally, they say that they won't come around again, that they would rather lie in their grave than face the pain and loneliness the world has to offer.

The lyrics of "Sink" are haunting and deeply emotional, and the pain they describe is all too real for many people who struggle with addiction and depression. This song is a reminder of the importance of reaching out for help and finding hope when everything feels lost.

Line by Line Meaning

I've had one too many sedatives
I've taken too much medication to help me cope with my problems

Lil black lungs and my bodies thin
My health has deteriorated as a result of my drug abuse

Put it on my tongue and I'll finish them
I'll take whatever drugs are necessary to numb the pain

Think I'm gona swim then I fucking sink
I thought the drugs would help me feel better, but they only make me feel worse

Water on my neck like a camelback
I'm drowning in my problems and feel like I'm carrying a heavy load

Everything changed round the time I dropped heart attack
My life drastically changed after experiencing a traumatic event

I can deal with sudden droughts in my happiness
I can handle temporary setbacks in my life

But I can't fuck with repercussions from the loneliness
I can't handle the long-term effects of feeling alone and isolated

And I can't deal with all the thoughts inside my skull
I can't manage the overwhelming and negative thoughts in my head

Seeing ghosts, when I smoke, ima die or hit a wall
My substance abuse causes me to have hallucinations and feel like I'm on the verge of death

Feel fine when I'm up again
I feel good when I'm high on drugs

Dying out I'm never getting high again
I know that my drug addiction is killing me and I need to stop

I'm not ever coming by again
I'm not returning to my previous way of life, including my drug use

I will take that to my grave and I will lie in it
I will never forget the damage caused by my addiction and will carry it with me for the rest of my life

All the memories that molded me to who I am
My past experiences have shaped who I have become

All the memories went up inside the firepit
I've disregarded my past and the things that made me who I am

Ashes down in the centre of the graveyard
My past is dead and buried

All our pictures lying melted in the sim card
All traces of my past have been destroyed
