Hangover
Travis Mills Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Poison poundin' through my head
Swear I gotta stop then find myself at it again
If I didn't have you I'd be locked away or dead
I know
For sho'
Love it when it hurts, when it's good, when it burns,
and it hits my chest
but there's no regret
All I need is you and your moves in the nude, baby
lose that dress
Now I'm hungover Baby come over
The reason
The reason I get fucked up every night
is so you can heal my body In the morning, in the morning
The reason
The reason I get fucked up every night
is so you can heal my body In the morning, in the morning
I been lit all night, put me on
Know my mouth is dry, quench me now
Baby, your body runs, through my mind
I got a loaded gun, save my life
Love it when it hurts, when it good, when it burns, and
it hits my chest
Now my vision's blurred, and I'm slurrin' out my
words, but there's no regret
All I need is you and your moves in the nudes, baby
lose that dress
Now I'm hungover
Baby come over
The reason
The reason I get fucked up every night is so
you can heal my body In the morning, in the morning
The reason
The reason I get fucked up every night is so
you can heal my body In the morning, in the morning
Baby the reason I get fucked up so you can heal me
Baby the reason I get fucked up (up...)
(Baby the reason)
The reason
The reason I get fucked up every night
is so you can heal my body In the morning, in the morning
The reason
The reason I get fucked up every night
is so you can heal my body In the morning, in the morning
The reason
The reason I get fucked up every night
is so you can heal my body In the morning, in the morning
The reason
The reason I get fucked up every night
is so you can heal my body In the morning, in the morning
Travis Mills's "Hangover" is a song about a destructive, co-dependent relationship. The singer wakes up every morning with a pounding headache and regrets about the night before, but can't help himself from repeating the same destructive behavior over and over again. He admits that if he didn't have his love interest, he would either be locked away or dead. Despite the pain and regret that come with their relationship, he can't resist the passion and intensity of their connection. He describes being in a haze, with blurred vision and slurred speech, but feeling no regret because he has this person by his side. The lyrics repeatedly emphasize that the singer's motivation for getting drunk every night is so that his love interest can "heal his body" in the morning.
On the surface, the song is a catchy, upbeat party anthem, but the lyrics paint a darker picture of a dysfunctional relationship. The singer is clearly addicted to his partner, but doesn't seem to have a healthy or meaningful connection with them beyond the physical. The repetition of the lyrics "the reason I get f****d up every night is so you can heal my body in the morning" underscores the cycle of addictive behavior and dependence that is at the heart of the song.
Overall, "Hangover" is an interesting exploration of the ways in which relationships and addiction can intersect, with a catchy melody that belies the dark themes at play.
