To the Rats and Wolves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will never drink again
Tick tock round the clock
Chug chug screw this sh*t
I'm gonna challenge my luck
I don't give a f*ck
Every second every minute every weekend
And it goes on and on and on,
till the break of dawn
I know it's wrong
I know it's wrong
But it feels so right
And I don't know what happened last night
I forgot who I am
I will never drink again
Knock, knock
Oh the shock
I can run but I can't hide
All of my sins, committed last night
Mum, I know you're sick of this sh*t
F*ck I can't hold it back -I need to vomit
And it goes on and on and on,
till the break of dawn
nothing to confess
nothing to regret
I'm a wasted mess
Sorry Mum I need to confess
Every weekend it's the same process
Just another member of K.I.D.S.
The lyrics of To the Rats and Wolves's song Blackout might resonate with many individuals who have experienced the blur and confusion of a night out fueled by alcohol. The singer's opening line of "I forgot who I am" could be an expression of the loss of self that comes with a drunken state. The next two lines "I will never drink again, Tick tock round the clock" could suggest the remorseful realization that the singer had indulged in excessive drinking and lost track of time and life.
The lines "Chug chug screw this sh*t, I'm gonna challenge my luck, I don't give a f*ck," could indicate a sense of recklessness and abandonment of caution associated with drunkenness. The reference to "Peter pan lifestyle - welcome to neverland" implies a rejection of grown-up responsibility for a night of uninhibited behavior, which could be regrettable in retrospect. The chorus repeats that the singer knows this behavior is wrong but feels so right, and they cannot remember what happened last night.
The lines "Knock, knock, Oh the shock, I can run but I can't hide, All of my sins, committed last night" could refer to waking up with a hangover and regret while facing the consequences of actions taken while drunk. The line "Mum, I know you're sick of this sh*t" could indicate that this behavior is not new or exceptional, and the singer feels shame for indulging in a pattern of behavior that causes distress to loved ones. The song ends with the singer acknowledging their excessive drinking is part of a repetitive cycle, as they join others in the same pattern of behavior expressed as "Just another member of K.I.D.S."

Being a fan of Electric Callboy I'm 1. Really happy to find some great sounding music from Nico's back catalogue and 2. Quite entertained that the first song I found here talks about not drinking again, when one of the first EC tracks I heard has the lyric 'yesterday we drank too much, let's do it again'.
loralie!!!
As an EC fan, I can say I enjoyed this.
Eskimo Callboy is still my top favorite though!
