Tequila Sundae
Urge Overkill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Daylight runs and runs for hours
In a cold sweat under the black sun showers
Under the silicon valley sun
Flattery will get you nowhere
Oh my god I didn't wanna to hurt no one
In a false sleep in need of stimulation
She was gone
Underneath the
Gone I believe her
A tequila sun
She was gone
Underneath the
Gone I believe her
I believe that woman
She was gone
Underneath the
Gone I believe her
A tequila sun
She dropped in the sun
With someone
With someone
Melt away!
Put yourself outside the future
Silicon sun rising above the ground
She was gone
Underneath the
Gone I believe her
A tequila sun
She was gone
Underneath the
Gone I believe her
I believe that woman
She was gone
Underneath the
Gone I believe her
A tequila sun
She's off in the sun
With someone
With someone
She's off in the sun
With someone
With someone
Don't melt away!
Got no time for stimulation
Let the cheeba be the sun
The lyrics of Urge Overkill's "Tequila Sundae" reflect on themes like escapism, self-destruction, and addiction. The song seems to portray a character who is indulging in various forms of stimulation and seeking to escape reality. The first two lines of the song suggest that the character doesn't have time for anything outside of their attempts at stimulation. The line "In a cold sweat under the black sun showers" highlights a state of anxiety and unease that comes with trying to escape problems through drugs or other forms of escapism. The line "Under the silicon valley sun" could be a nod to the excessiveness and shallowness of modern culture.
The following lines "Flattery will get you nowhere
Oh my god I didn't wanna to hurt no one
In a false sleep in need of stimulation
I wish the zball was the sun" suggest that the character may be using flattery as a way to manipulate others into helping them get the drugs they need. The line "I wish the zball was the sun" may be a reference to an imaginary world where drugs are not needed to escape problems.
The rest of the song repeats the chorus, "She was gone underneath the gone, I believe her, a tequila sun," which seems to suggest that the character has lost someone important to them, and is using drugs to cope with the loss.
