VAGUE003 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
faces turn but we dont look around
and youre bringing all your demons 'round
we're left with all the words but no sound
And I dont want to be the one to say this
but im here with everything and youre just fakin
lie to me that you need me
its all so sober now
your words theyre wasted on me now
were all so sober now
realize yeah i've been goin
I've gotta stop drinking now
fuck your words and your fame
you aint nothin but a name
how can i be so poisoning to myself
am i real or am i dreaming
at least my beds not full of regrets
or thoughts that are comin out of my head
at least, at least, i can sleep at night
at least my beds not full of regrets
and everything that ive said
and ill sleep tonight
its all so sober now
your words theyre wasted on me now
were all so sober now
realize yeah ive been goin
its all so sober now
your words theyre wasted on me now
were all so sober now
realize yeah ive been goin
were all so sober now
realize ive been goin
I gotta stop drinking now
The lyrics to VAGUE003's song 'sober' explore the theme of emptiness in relationships and the struggles of battling addiction. The opening lines, "It's only gettin' colder now, faces turn but we don't look around, and you're bringing all your demons 'round, we're left with all the words but no sound" depicts a sense of loneliness and disconnection between the singer and their partner. Despite being physically present, their partner is emotionally distanced and plagued by personal demons, leaving the singer feeling empty and unheard.
The chorus, "It's all so sober now, your words they're wasted on me now, we're all so sober now, realize yeah I've been goin', I've gotta stop drinking now" suggests that the relationship has lost its spark and meaning. The singer recognizes that they both have been trying to fill the void in their lives with unhealthy habits, and they both need to sober up and face their problems head-on.
The following lines, "Fuck your words and your fame, you ain't nothing but a name, how can I be so poisonin' to myself, am I real or am I dreamin" reveals the complexity of the singer's struggle with addiction. They turn to substance abuse to fill the gap in their life, yet they recognize the toxicity of their actions. The line "am I real or am I dreamin" implies the idea of losing touch with reality and asking themselves important introspective questions about their actions and habits.
Overall, the lyrics in 'sober' delicately touch on themes of loneliness, addiction, and the realization that sometimes it's best to face problems head-on rather than trying to numb the pain.
