Overdose
Two Weeks In Nashville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The loss or the closure running through my soul
As I stared into the flood (I can't lose and I won't let go now)
I saw the face I knew I'd love (A deep breath and I'm taking control now)
And I'm holding on to this
And she don't really get me
And I'm picking up what's left within
And it's beginning to break me
Why won't you let me go?
You're gonna take me down with you, falling high we go
I'm gonna overdose
(I'm gonna overdose, I'm gonna overdose)
(I'm gonna overdose, I'm gonna overdose)
Oh I overdosed, lost my head
You got me trapped, I got misled
Oh I tried so hard, but I must confess
That I can put myself under a lot of stress
You don't help though honey (Don't help though)
You sit back and test (You sit back and test)
While I bleed out (I bleed out)
I'm not in your best interest
And I'm holding on to this
And she don't really get me
And I'm picking up what's left within
And it's beginning to break me
You got me wrapped around your fingers and I feel enclosed
Why won't you let me go?
You're gonna take me down with you, falling high we go
I'm gonna overdose
You got me wrapped around your fingers and I feel enclosed
Why won't you let me go?
You're gonna take me down with you, falling high we go
I'm gonna overdose
I'm gonna overdose
I'm gonna overdose
(I'm gonna overdose, I'm gonna overdose)
(I'm gonna overdose, I'm gonna over)
The song Overdose by Two Weeks In Nashville portrays the emotional turmoil of an individual who is struggling to let go of a past relationship. The opening lines, “I don't know what hurts more, The loss or the closure running through my soul” suggest that the singer is grappling with the aftermath of a break-up. The face he saw while staring into the flood serves as a metaphor, representing the person he loved and has lost. He is holding on to the memories and the pain, unable to move on.
The lines “You're gonna take me down with you, falling high we go, I'm gonna overdose” have a dual meaning. On one hand, it could mean that he is willing to go to great lengths to hold onto the memories and the pain. On the other hand, it could suggest that he is willing to take drugs to numb his pain, implying a drug overdose. The lines, “You got me wrapped around your fingers and I feel enclosed Why won't you let me go” showcases the fear and helplessness that the singer has. He is unable to break free from the grip of his past relationship, and the cycle of anxiety and pain continues to plague him.
The chorus, “I'm gonna overdose, lost my head You got me trapped, I got misled” illustrates the singer’s desperation and inability to cope with the loss. The chorus is repeated multiple times, perhaps suggesting the cyclical nature of addiction and the inability to break free from it. The song ends with the lines, “You got me wrapped around your fingers and I feel enclosed Why won't you let me go? You're gonna take me down with you, falling high we go I'm gonna overdose”. This indicates that the singer realizes that the relationship was toxic, but he is still unable to let it go.
