W.C. for Marabu heads Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna throw up my guts
I'm gonna catch up to ghosts
And I'm gonna run
Oh, I'm gonna run
You've seen me at my worst
Now take me at my word
Then I want to be first
I think it's funny, don't you?
At first we wanna make it last
And now, we just want it to be through
We just want it to be through
Today you smiled like you meant it
Almost made me wanna quit
Then you fell onto the pavement
The second that you got back off of it
I think it's funny, don't you?
At first you wanna make it last
And now you only want it to be through
I only wanted to be through
You've seen me at my worst
Now take me at my word
If you wanna destroy the world
Then I want to be first
I held your hand on the hospital bed
And whispered these lies to you
But when you step out onto a cloud
You know you're gonna fall right through
The lyrics of the song "Hangover in 2-3" by Marabu heads is a portrayal of the aftermath of a wild night out, and the feeling that comes with it. The singer in the lyrics is seen longing to get to "hangover heaven," where they can just let it all out and be relieved of whatever tolls the party caused. The singer confesses that they intend to throw up their guts when they get there, and that they feel like they will catch up with ghosts and run. The feeling of urgency in the lyrics illustrates how much the singer wants the night to be over.
However, amidst the desire of the singer to bring the party to an end, they reveal in the chorus that they want to be the first to destroy the world. This statement can be interpreted in a couple of ways. It could imply that the singer is in a destructive mood, wanting to tear everything down, or perhaps it is an ironic statement, meant to emphasize that their world is already in shambles because of the effect of the hangover.
The bridge section sheds light on the singer's relationship with someone they care about. The singer notes that their partner had a moment that almost made them quit, but then they fell and lost it. This sentiment underlines both the vulnerability of the person the singer cares for and the futility of trying to hold on to a fleeting moment. In summary, the song's lyrics show that even though the party may seem like a good idea initially, in the end, it leaves you feeling empty and desperate for it to be over.

When I get to hangover heaven
When I am so hungover I feel like I am in heaven
I'm gonna throw up my guts
I will vomit so forcefully that it seems as though my entire insides are coming out
I'm gonna catch up to ghosts
I will move so fast that it feels like I am chasing ghosts
And I'm gonna run
I will run as fast as I can
You've seen me at my worst
You have witnessed me during my lowest point
Now take me at my word
Believe what I say to you now
If you wanna destroy the world
If you are intent on destroying everything
Then I want to be first
I want to be the first person to experience it
I think it's funny, don't you?
I find it amusing, do you share the same sentiment?
At first we wanna make it last
Initially, we wanted this to last forever
And now, we just want it to be through
Now, we just want it to be over
Today you smiled like you meant it
Today you smiled with sincerity
Almost made me wanna quit
Your smile was so affecting that it made me want to give up
Then you fell onto the pavement
Then you stumbled and fell to the ground
The second that you got back off of it
The moment you stood back up
I only wanted to be through
I just wanted it to be over
I held your hand on the hospital bed
I was by your side while you were in the hospital
And whispered these lies to you
I lied to you in whispers
But when you step out onto a cloud
But when you experience something unbelievably wonderful
You know you're gonna fall right through
You know that it will inevitably come to an end
