Young Life Crisis
UPSAHL Lyrics

Meltdown on my best friend's couch
I am in emotional distress and chaos, seeking refuge in a familiar and comfortable environment.

Lines on the table and boredom in my mouth
Drugs are easily accessible, but they are losing their appeal and I am looking for something to alleviate my boredom.

Life's gettin' fatal, I think I'm runnin' out
I am feeling that my life is becoming increasingly dire and that I am running out of options to fix it.

I get dramatic when I'm drunk but don't sympathize
Under the influence of alcohol, I tend to overreact and become dramatic, but I refuse to accept help or understanding from others.

Still in love with my ex
I am still emotionally attached to my former significant other, despite the fact that the relationship has ended.

Speaking of, guess I should probably send him a text
I am considering contacting my ex, despite the fact that it could be a bad idea and that I likely won't get the response that I want.

Wish that I wasn't always thinkin' 'bout sex (sex)
I constantly desire sexual gratification, which distracts me from other areas of my life and causes me stress.

I'm problematic when I'm drunk but don't sympathize
Like before, I tend to cause problems when I drink, and I refuse to allow others to understand or help me.

Grab me like, "Hey, what's up?"
An acquaintance has approached me and initiated a conversation.

Ask me what's in my cup
They are curious about what drink I am consuming.

It's what they call the young life crisis, pour it on ice
This is representative of a common experience amongst young adults, to which I am reacting by consuming alcohol in the way that it is typically consumed.

I take it down with problems and pride
I am consuming alcohol to help deal with my problems, but also doing it to show that I am strong enough to handle them.

A dash of disappointment, little bit of lime
My life is full of disappointment, and I am trying to add a little bit of flavor to it with this drink.

Chase it with some boys and a little bad advice
I will surround myself with male companions and take their advice, even if it is not helpful, to avoid dealing with my problems.

Now I'm cryin' up a river on the bathroom floor
I have retreated to the bathroom and am uncontrollably crying.

And a random bitch said, "I don't know what's bangin' on the door"
Someone has knocked on the bathroom door and a third party has rudely commented on it.

So I walk out with my head high like I'm Jesus Christ
Despite the feelings of sadness and shame that I am clearly experiencing, I try to project an air of confidence and superiority.

But it's okay
It is not really okay, but I don't want to admit that to others or to myself.

I'll tell you I'm fine but to tell the truth, I'm losin' my mind
If someone asks, I will say that I am fine, but in reality, I am struggling with mental health problems.

I'm going insane, so don't even try to fix me
I believe that I am beyond help or repair, and so I don't want anyone to try and help me.

I'm not broken, I'm just broke, alone, and sippin' on a
Although I may not appear to be broken on the surface, I am financially and emotionally broken, with no one to turn to except myself.

Raise that glass to pleasure and pain
I am toasting my drink to the highs and lows of life.

Young life crisis, lovin' the taste
I am in the midst of a crisis that is common for many people my age, but I am enjoying the temporary pleasure that this drink brings me.

Hurts so good, it's numbin' my brain
Although it may hurt now, the pain will be dulled by alcohol's numbing effect on my brain.

Dash of disappointment, little bit of lime
As before, I am trying to add some flavor to my unsatisfying life.

Chase it with some boys and a little bad advice
I will continue to pursue the company of men and take their unsound advice.
