Alcohol you
Roxen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sun is rising ink
For me it's hard to blink
I'm falling
I wrote some stupid words
Before I lost my mind
And called you
A taste of bittersweet
To chase the memories
Blue heaven
I need you but it hurts
To feel like I deserve
Your weapons

Why do fairy tales fail baby
Mumbling in the dark to save me
Love you from the bottom of my

I'll "cohol" you when I'm drunk
I do it 'cause you're not around
This pain's the only thing that I can't refuse
They warned me but I think it's only fake news

I will "cohol" you when I'm drunk

If you're the enemy
Then maybe I'm too weak to see it
The fire's in my chest
But I won't let my head
Believe it
If this is just a dream
Don't wake me in between
I mean it
You lied so many times
But right between the lines
I read it

Why do fairy tales fail baby
Mumbling in the dark to save me
Love you from the bottom of my

I'll "cohol" you when I'm drunk
I do it 'cause you're not around
This pain's the only thing that I can't refuse
They warned me but I think it's only fake news
I will "cohol" you when I'm drunk




I'll "cohol" you when I'm drunk
I will call you when I'm strong

Overall Meaning

Roxen's "Alcohol You" is an emotionally-charged ballad about heartache, loneliness and addiction. In the opening stanza, she likens the rising sun to ink, possibly implying that her surroundings are dark and blurry. She feels unable to think straight or even blink, suggesting she's either still awake or has barely slept. Roxen admits to having written some "stupid words" and making a mistake before blurting out something hurtful to her lover. The line "a taste of bittersweet" could be a metaphor for Roxen's longing for the good times they shared together but also the pain she's currently feeling. She is aware of the toxic nature of her relationship and how it's providing a temporary escape from reality. The chorus, "I'll 'cohol' you when I'm drunk, I do it 'cause you're not around," reflects how Roxen self-medicates with alcohol to numb the pain of her partner's absence. Throughout the song, she wrestles with conflicting emotions, torn between her head and heart, knowing her lover is not good for her but unable to resist the power they hold over her.


The second verse of the song continues with Roxen admitting she knows her partner is not good for her but confesses her weakness in seeing that they are the enemy. She describes the "fire" in her chest as a metaphor for the burning love she has, but her head knows it's destructive. Despite this, she cannot shake it off, and the feeling consumes her. Roxen dreams of a better reality or wishes to stay in her current state of denial, which implies she's trying to escape from the harsh reality of her situation. The last lines of the song suggest that Roxen is looking to regain control of her life and will only call her lover when she's strong enough to face them.

That's the second time I discovered an artist from Eurovision (the first was Mahmood). It turns out you're hit in Bulgaria, my home country. Keep doing what you're doing. You're young, beautiful and full of talent. I'll gladly watch you flourish as a singer. BTW you were my winner this year(very bad they've cancelled the competition), at first heard I've connected to the song. Love from Bulgaria<3<3

This one was too good for eurovision, and it still is. These lines was possibly the exact moment when I fell in love with songs of ROXEN

"If you're the enemy then maybe I'm too weak to see it
The fire's in my chest but I won't let my head believe it,
If this is just a dream don't wake me in between I mean it
You lied so many times but right between the lines I read it."
