It may seem confusing and repetitive, but the lyrics of Rag'n'Bone Man's song Bottom of a Bottle carries a powerful message about addiction and rock bottom. The repetition of the line "Bottom of a Bottle" emphasizes the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of substance abuse and hitting rock bottom repeatedly. The song tells the story of someone who's been struggling with addiction for a while and has lost everything, even their sense of self-worth.
The singer's haunting voice conveys the desperation and hopelessness of the singer who's reached a point of no return. The repetition of the lyrics also mirrors the monotony and emptiness of their life. The line "Bottom of a Bottle" could also be interpreted as the singer's only comfort and escape from their problems. The song's message is a sobering reminder of the devastating effects of addiction and serves as a call for greater awareness and empathy towards people struggling with substance abuse.
