Mhmm
You need to, get outta my system (my system)
You and I both know that I don't really listen
You're like an addiction (addiction)
If I overdose you'll never be forgiven (no, no)
Searching for the things to say (yeah)
4am, and you're still here
Even when you're really not here
Going crazy, closed off in an empty room
You always tell me, I should never feel so blue
This is make believe, I'm seeing things, you're out of reach
Need to save myself, this life is hell, get up and leave
Going crazy, closed off in an empty room
You always tell me, I should never feel so blue
This is make believe, I'm seeing things, you're out of reach
Need to save myself, this life is hell, get up and leave
Forget my existence (existence)
I'm no longer yours and I won't really miss it
Take all the pictures (the pictures)
I won't need them to remember all of these years (no, no)
You've been calling everyday
I'm in your head every time you pray (pray)
We're drowning in the atmosphere
Everything's becoming so clear
Going crazy, closed off in an empty room
You always tell me, I should never feel so blue
This is make believe, I'm seeing things, you're out of reach
Need to save myself, this life is hell, get up and leave
Going crazy, closed off in an empty room
You always tell me, I should never feel so blue
This is make believe, I'm seeing things, you're out of reach
Need to save myself, this life is hell, get up and leave
Yeah
Up, up and leave (yeah)
Up and, up and leave
Going crazy, closed off in an empty room
You always tell me, I should never feel so blue
This is make believe, I'm seeing things, you're out of reach
Need to save myself, this life is hell, get up and leave
Going crazy, closed off in an empty room
You always tell me, I should never feel so blue
This is make believe, I'm seeing things, you're out of reach
Need to save myself, this life is hell, get up and leave
Crazy, empty room
Tell me, feel so blue
Make believe, out of reach
Save myself, get up and leave
Get up and leave
Get up and leave
Get up and leave
Leave
You'll never be forgiven (no, no)
I'm no longer yours and I won't really miss it
System, no (no, no)
In "Overdose" by XBLUESKIES, the lyrics depict a toxic and addictive relationship that the singer is desperately trying to escape from. The song expresses the need to remove the person from their system and emphasizes the lack of genuine communication and understanding between them. The addictiveness of the relationship is compared to a drug addiction, with the implication that if the singer allows themselves to "overdose" on this person's presence, they will never find forgiveness.
The first verse highlights the constant contact and dependence the singer has on this person, even when they are physically absent. The singer feels trapped and emotionally drained, symbolized by being closed off in an empty room. Despite this, the person continues to advise the singer to not feel blue, but it's revealed that their words are empty and the relationship is far from real. The singer decides they need to save themselves from this destructive cycle and leave.
In the second verse, the singer realizes they need to forget about this person and move on. They reject the idea of holding onto memories through pictures and confidently declare that they won't miss this relationship. The person, on the other hand, keeps reaching out, but the singer understands that they are only present in the person's mind, not in reality. The atmosphere becomes clearer for the singer, helping them see the truth and motivating them to break free from this hellish life.
Overall, "Overdose" is a song that discusses the addictive nature of a toxic relationship, emphasizing the importance of self-preservation and finding the strength to leave despite the emotional turmoil involved.
