Sober
Victoria Tibblin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did you not hear what I said, oh no
Might as well just go to bed, oh no
I'm not sober
I'm not sober
I'm not sober
I'm not sober
Like a tiger I am going around in circles
Can't stand the creaking sound of these floors
Over and over
Over and over
Baby this isn't maybe
Rage builds up in me
Save me, save me, save me
Too much to drink, oh no
Washed myself down that sink, oh no
Next time I'd better think, oh no
I'm not sober
I'm not sober
I'm not sober
I'm not sober
Like a tiger I am going around in circles
Can't stand the creaking sound of these floors
Over and over
Over and over
Baby this isn't maybe
Rage builds up in me
Save me, save me, save me
The song "Sober" by Victoria Tibblin is a raw and honest portrayal of the struggles of addiction. The opening lines of the song describe the disorienting feeling of inhaling smoke, which symbolizes the intoxication of drugs or alcohol. The repetition of "oh no" throughout the verse emphasizes the singer's sense of regret and frustration with her own behavior. The repetition of "I'm not sober" in the chorus reinforces the lack of control and the need for help.
The second verse starts with the simile "like a tiger I am going around in circles," which further emphasizes the feeling of being trapped and unable to break free from the cycle of addiction. The creaking sound of the floors, which is mentioned twice, adds to the feeling of instability and vulnerability that comes with addiction. The bridge of the song, which contains the plea "save me, save me, save me," underlines the desperation and need for support that many people face when dealing with addiction.
Overall, "Sober" is a powerful song that deals with complex and difficult issues in a clear and emotionally resonant way. The honesty and rawness of the lyrics, combined with the haunting melody and the singer's strong vocal performance, make it a memorable and impactful work of art.

Petition for Drew to make a series covering Ace Combat and its multiple universes: [Day 329
Study 329 was a clinical trial which was conducted in North America from 1994 to 1998 to study the efficacy of paroxetine, an SSRI anti-depressant, in treating 12- to 18-year-olds diagnosed with major depressive disorder. Led by Martin Keller, then professor of psychiatry at Brown University, and funded by the British pharmaceutical company SmithKline Beecham—known since 2000 as GlaxoSmithKline (GSK)—the study compared paroxetine with imipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant, and placebo (an inert pill). SmithKline Beecham had released paroxetine in 1991, marketing it as Paxil in North America and Seroxat in the UK. The drug attracted sales of $11.7 billion in the United States alone from 1997 to 2006, including $2.12 billion in 2002, the year before it lost its patent.

Table in Italian can be translated either as "tavolo" (male) or "tavola" (female). The first refers only to the piece of furniture, while the second can also mean "board". For example, surfboard in Italian is "tavola da surf".
@techpriestessmicaela8441
We do have the word "távola" in Portuguese and it means table, but it hasn't been in use for centuries. There's "tábua" that we still use, but it means plank, not table. The word we use for table is "mesa", and all three of these words are feminine.
@henrymerkel1385
The way I learned the difference was that tavola also specifically meant a table for eating.
@tearenn3046
@@henrymerkel1385 That's probably the most common instance of hearing "tavola" to refer to a table
@elRandomTk
@@henrymerkel1385 you are correct and it was the first thing to come to my mind; I never tought of it on a larger scale but I'd say OP is right, tavolo is just the furniture, any time you use it in a combined word or in a concept it becomes feminine: dining table is one case with tavola da pranzo (often just tavola), other examples are ironing board (tavola da stiro), round table (tavola rotonda), periodic table (tavola periodica) - by the way, why tf last one is called table I never tought of it ahahah
