Hey You Got Drugs?
Tove Lo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now they say never change, never did
Keep loving me for a night
Think you're free? I don't quit
Come on my sweet escape for a while just to try it on
I'm dancin' away
While it's all fun and games 'til it's not
You're fucked but, oh, you're so fun (How you holding on?)
I don't know tomorrow (If it comes or not)
But I promise for life you can brag 'bout tonight
You won't save the night for me
You won't save the night for me
You won't save the night for me
And I ain't never gonna go home
Ten years of highs just for fun
Not a height 'til I'm caught
Pain from the past like a small piece of glass in my heart
This should be the time of my life
You fucking made it your deal, your deal
And I keep dancin' away
'Cause it's all fun and games 'til it's real
We don't wanna go home (Better dance for us)
You're fucked but, oh, you're so fun (How you holding on?)
I don't know tomorrow (If it comes or not)
But I promise for life you can brag 'bout tonight
You won't save the night for me
You won't save the night for me
You won't save the night for me
And I ain't never gonna go home
Hey, you got drugs?
Just need a pick-me-up only for tonight
Don't tell anyone I was with ya
Yeah, it's good stuff, but I'm resistin' now
Take it if you want
Think I've fallen out of my feelings
We don't wanna go home (Better dance for us)
You're fucked but, oh, you're so fun (How you holding on?)
I don't know tomorrow (If it comes or not)
But I promise for life you can brag 'bout tonight
You won't save the night for me
You won't save the night for me
You won't save the night for me
And I ain't never gonna go home, go home
Hey, you got drugs?
Just need a pick-me-up only for tonight
Don't tell anyone I was with ya
Yeah it's good stuff but I'm resisting now
Take it if you want
Think I've fallen out of my feelings
Hey, you got drugs?
Just need a pick-me-up only for tonight
Don't tell anyone I was with ya
Yeah it's good stuff but I'm resisting now
Take it if you want
Think I've fallen out of my feelings
Hey, you got drugs?
Just need a pick-me-up only for tonight
Don't tell anyone I was with ya
Yeah it's good stuff but I'm resisting now
Take it if you want
Think I've fallen out of my feelings
Hey, you got drugs?
Just need a pick-me-up only for tonight
Don't tell anyone I was with ya
Yeah it's good stuff but I'm resisting now
Take it if you want
Think I've fallen out of my feelings
The first verse of Tove Lo's song Hey You Got Drugs? is about change, or rather the lack of change. The singer has spent the last two years trying to change, but people say she never changes. She invites someone to come with her on a sweet escape, just for a while, and she dances until it's not fun anymore. The chorus repeats the sentiment that they don't want to go home, and they'll dance until they can't anymore. The second verse talks about how she's been living for ten years just to have fun, and she hasn't really felt anything until she was caught. She's been hurt in the past, and it's like a small piece of glass stuck in her heart. She should be having the time of her life, but someone else has made it their deal, and she keeps dancing until it's real.
The bridge further emphasizes the need for a pick-me-up, asking if the person has drugs only for tonight. She doesn't want anyone to know she was with them, but she's also resisting now. The song is about living in the moment, enjoying things while they last, and not worrying about the future. The pick-me-up represents a way to escape from reality, to forget about the problems or the potential consequences for a while.
Line by Line Meaning
Two years of change
It's been two years since my life has changed
Now they say never change, never did
People say I haven't changed, but they don't really know me
Keep loving me for a night
Love me for just tonight
Think you're free? I don't quit
Don't think you're free from me, I won't easily let go
Come on my sweet escape for a while just to try it on
Come with me on my temporary escape to see how it feels
I'm dancin' away
I'm dancing my troubles away
While it's all fun and games 'til it's not
Things may seem fun and carefree, but they can turn sour quickly
We don't wanna go home (Better dance for us)
We don't want the night to end, keep dancing
You're fucked but, oh, you're so fun (How you holding on?)
You may be messed up, but you're still entertaining (how are you coping?)
I don't know tomorrow (If it comes or not)
I'm uncertain about what tomorrow will bring, if it even comes
But I promise for life you can brag 'bout tonight
But I promise you'll remember this night for the rest of your life
You won't save the night for me
You won't make this night special for me
And I ain't never gonna go home
And I won't go home anytime soon
Ten years of highs just for fun
I've had ten years of thrilling experiences just for the fun of it
Not a height 'til I'm caught
It's not a high until I get caught
Pain from the past like a small piece of glass in my heart
I carry the pain from my past like a sharp piece of glass in my heart
This should be the time of my life
This should be the best time of my life
You fucking made it your deal, your deal
You've made it your responsibility to ensure I have a good time
And I keep dancin' away
And I'll keep dancing my problems away
'Cause it's all fun and games 'til it's real
It's easy to have fun until reality sets in
Hey, you got drugs?
Do you have any drugs?
Just need a pick-me-up only for tonight
I just need something to give me a temporary boost for tonight
Don't tell anyone I was with ya
Don't reveal that I was with you
Yeah, it's good stuff, but I'm resistin' now
Yes, it's good drugs, but I'm resisting the temptation now
Take it if you want
You can take it if you want
Think I've fallen out of my feelings
I think I've become emotionally numb

I think since the things with the Fairy Dust Film, Youtube is not showing her videos, when Blue Lips and this video came out, I never got the notifications even though I have the bell on, and the Blue Lips Film was not showing on my subscriptions section.
