Melatonin
UPSAHL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, I feel like I didn't sleep last night
Take all the doubt
All the dirty laundry, air it out
Got a bad taste, in my mouth
From all that shit talking to myself
I got issues in my mind and I gotta face 'em
When I'm turning off the lights, I go to other places
Got the sun up in my eyes, I'm afraid I
Think I had too much to dream last night (fighting with my feelings)
I feel like I didn't sleep last night (only when I'm dreaming)
Stressed out with circles under my eyes
Melatonin shots, I don't wanna talk 'cause I
Think I had too much to dream last night (fighting with my feelings)
All of my problems got real last night (only when I'm dreaming)
Now that I know how I feel, I might
Take Melatonin shots 'til I'm nodding off, yeah
Sorry, that I'm late
Woke up in the morning feeling strange
Told you, I'm okay
But tonight I'm back to circling the drain, yeah
I should take this as a sign, as an indication
I got issues in my mind and I gotta face 'em
When I'm turning off the lights, I go to other places
Got the sun up in my eyes, I'm afraid I
Think I had too much to dream last night (fighting with my feelings)
I feel like I didn't sleep last night (only when I'm dreaming)
Stressed out with circles under my eyes
Melatonin shots, I don't wanna talk 'cause I
Think I had too much to dream last night (fighting with my feelings)
All of my problems got real last night (only when I'm dreaming)
Now that I know how I feel, I might
Take Melatonin shots, 'til I'm nodding off
I should take this as a sign, as an indication
I got issues in my mind and I gotta face 'em
When I'm turning off the lights, I go to other places
Got the sun up in my eyes, I'm afraid I
Think I had too much to dream last night
I feel like I didn't sleep last night
Stressed out with circles under my eyes
Melatonin shots, I don't wanna talk 'cause I
Think I had too much to dream last night (fighting with my feelings)
All of my problems got real last night (only when I'm dreaming)
Now that I know how I feel, I might
Take Melatonin shots, 'til I'm nodding off, yeah
UPSAHL's song Melatonin is about feeling overwhelmed with anxiety and self-doubt. The lyrics suggest that the singer drank too much and didn't sleep well, which has led to them feeling stressed out and overwhelmed with negative thoughts. The singer knows they need to face their issues head-on, but they're afraid of the harsh reality that awaits them. Throughout the song, UPSAHL references the use of melatonin, a hormone used to regulate sleep, as a way to escape from their troubles and find some sort of relief.
The lines "Take all the doubt, all the dirty laundry, air it out" suggest that UPSAHL knows that she needs to confront her issues head-on and stop "shit-talking to herself". However, it's easier said than done, and the singer finds herself constantly battling with her feelings. The use of the phrase "circles under my eyes" suggests that she's been losing sleep and stressing out over her problems.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer had "too much to dream last night," and that they want to use melatonin to help them sleep. However, this is just a temporary solution and doesn't address the underlying issues causing the anxiety. The song ends with the ominous line, "Take Melatonin shots, 'til I'm nodding off, yeah," which suggests that the singer is just trying to find a way to escape rather than facing her issues.
Overall, UPSAHL's Melatonin is a poignant and relatable song about the struggle with anxiety and self-doubt. The use of melatonin as a metaphor for escapism is a powerful one, and the song's catchy melody makes it a memorable addition to any playlist.
