Bloodbuzz Ohio
Soak Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stand up straight at the foot of your love
I lift my shirt up
Stand up straight at the foot of your love
I lift my shirt up

I was carried to Ohio in a swarm of bees
I'll never marry but Ohio don't remember me
Lay my head on the hood of your car
I'll take it too far
Lay my head on the hood of your car
I'll take it too far

I still owe money to the money, to the money I owe
I never thought about love when I thought about home
I still owe money to the money, to the money I owe
The floors are falling out from everybody I know

I'm on a bloodbuzz
Yes I am
I'm on a blood, buzz
I'm on a bloodbuzz
God I am
I'm on a blood, buzz

I was carried to Ohio in a swarm of bees
I never married but Ohio don't remember me

I still owe money to the money, to the money I owe
I never thought about love when I thought about home
I still owe money to the money, to the money I owe
The floors are falling out from everybody I know

I'm on a bloodbuzz
Yes I am
I'm on a blood, buzz
I'm on a bloodbuzz




God I am
I'm on a blood, buzz

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Soak's song "Bloodbuzz Ohio" capture a sense of longing, displacement, and the struggle to find a sense of belonging. The repeated phrase "Stand up straight at the foot of your love, I lift my shirt up" suggests vulnerability and a desire to be seen and accepted by someone. It's a plea for validation and connection in an uncertain world.


The line "I was carried to Ohio in a swarm of bees, I'll never marry but Ohio don't remember me" seems to symbolize the feeling of being swept away by circumstances beyond one's control. It conveys a sense of being lost and forgotten, adrift in a place that doesn't recognize or acknowledge one's existence.


The verse "I still owe money to the money, to the money I owe, I never thought about love when I thought about home, The floors are falling out from everybody I know" reflects the burden of financial responsibilities and the alienation it can cause. Love and home seem distant and disconnected from the current struggles, and relationships with others are strained due to the weight of these financial pressures.


The chorus "I'm on a bloodbuzz, Yes I am, I'm on a blood, buzz" can be interpreted as experiencing a heightened state of emotions, perhaps accompanying feelings of anxiety, stress, or even intoxication. It's a sense of being overwhelmed by the intensity of life and the challenges faced.


Overall, "Bloodbuzz Ohio" seems to explore themes of longing for connection, grappling with identity and displacement, and the strain of financial pressures. It delves into the complexities of human emotions, capturing a sense of vulnerability and the search for meaning and purpose.
