Another whiskey for kill all my pain
Inside my mind is not stop the rain
And now a cigarette for fight with the fear
And now my words are loud and clear
She's here!

The inspiration have struck me,
So nice and so sweet,
And now my guitar is speaking for me,
Even if my cruel to her
She loves me!

Scream!
Scream!
It's incredible!
Scream!

With your guitar pick!

Overall Meaning

The I Don't Know's song Inspiration is a raw and vulnerable expression of an artist's struggle to find inspiration and cope with their inner demons. The lyrics suggest that the artist is using alcohol and cigarettes as a means to numb the pain and anxiety that they feel inside. The repetition of the lines "Another whiskey for kill all my pain" and "And now a cigarette for fight with the fear" emphasize the artist's desperation to find relief from their emotional turmoil.


However, the tone of the song shifts dramatically when the artist finds inspiration. The exclamation "She's here!" suggests that the artist has found something or someone that has given them the spark they needed to create. The lines "The inspiration have struck me, So nice and so sweet, And now my guitar is speaking for me" suggest that the artist's guitar is their tool for expressing their newfound inspiration.


The chorus is an expression of pure joy and release. The repetition of the word "scream" is an invitation for the listener to fully immerse themselves in the experience of the music. The lines "It's incredible! Scream! Scream with your guitar pick!" are an exhortation to fully embrace the power of music and expression.

Express yourself completely, then be quiet. Be like the forces of nature; When it blows, there is only wind; When it rains, there is only rain; When the clouds pass, the sun shines through.
