Champagne
Sugarcult (½´°¡ÄÃÆ®) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All I can taste is champagne
When it hits the brain like
Spinning around and around
I can't get up without your help
I'm falling down

All I can taste is champagne
Another day down the drain

Sleeping around and around
I can't wake up without your help
It's over now

You want it
You need it
You can't explain
You fight it
You feed it
I can't live without you
I'm moving on without you

Love is like Novocaine
And it leaves a little stain
The beauty in all this pain is
I can't get away from you
So bowl me down and don't make a sound

You want it
You need it
You can't explain
You fight it
You feed it
I can't live without you
I'm moving on without you

All I can taste is champagne
Dancing away down my veins
Spinning around and around
I can't get up without your help
I'm on the ground

Somebody help me
I'm losing everything when I'm without you
Doing it without you

All I can taste is champagne

Another day down the drain
All I can taste is champagne x 2

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sugarcult's "Champagne" describe the intoxicating effects of a romantic relationship that has gone awry. The singer is consumed by the taste of champagne, which represents the allure and excitement of the relationship. The imagery of spinning around and falling down implies that the singer is lost and disoriented without this love interest. Despite acknowledging the pain that the relationship brings, the singer cannot let go and seeks help to pick themselves back up. The repeated refrain of "you want it, you need it, you can't explain" emphasizes the inexplicable pull of a dysfunctional relationship.

There is a sense of resignation and acceptance of the pain that comes with love, reflected in the line "love is like Novocaine, and it leaves a little stain." The beauty in the pain is that the singer is unable to get away from this person, implying that the allure of this relationship has become addictive. The final line, "all I can taste is champagne," repeats the earlier line from the song, emphasizing that the singer is trapped in this cycle of intoxication and pain.
