Overdose
Yung Griffin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She got acid on her tongue and it's a bad time
To say I love her but it's done and now she hates me
I see the colors in the love
She never faced me
She only loved me off them drugs
And I got blue eyes
She got acid on her tongue and it's a bad time
I see the colors in the love
She never faced me
She only loved me off them drugs
I got these brands on but that won't make her love me more
When I'm without you it's feeling like a thunderstorm
I feel the cold rain I'm wishing that it thundered more
I feel like Cobain, she tell me she don't love me, 4
Our love's a cruise ship and you just threw me overboard
You kissed me last night just tell me what it's over for
It's only fair now cuz I'm the one who know the most
Just hold me tight now cuz I'm ready to overdose
I got these brands on but that won't make her love me more
When I'm without you it's feeling like a thunderstorm
I feel the cold rain I'm wishing that it thundered more
I feel like Cobain, she tell me she don't love me, 4
Our love's a cruise ship and you just threw me overboard
You kissed me last night just tell me what it's over for
It's only fair now cuz I'm the one who know the most
Just hold me tight now cuz I'm ready to overdose
In the first verse of "Overdose," Yung Griffin describes the turmoil of his failing relationship. He compares his own blue eyes to his partner's sharp and acidic tongue. While he acknowledges that he loves her, the relationship has fallen apart, and she now hates him. Despite the love that once existed between them, they are unable to communicate and resolve their issues. Yung Griffin sees the colors in the love that once existed between them, but his partner never faced him or addressed the issues that ultimately led to their breakup. Instead, she loved him only when they were high on drugs.
In the second verse, Yung Griffin continues to express his emotional pain. He wears expensive brands but understands that they won't make his partner love him more. When he's not with her, he's overwhelmed with feelings of sadness, comparing the loneliness to a thunderstorm. Yung Griffin feels cold without her, wishing that he felt the intensity of a storm instead. Yung Griffin feels like Kurt Cobain, who famously took his own life, as his partner tells him that she no longer loves him. The metaphor of their love as a "cruise ship" emphasizes the lost potential of their relationship. The partner has thrown him overboard, leaving him alone with his pain. Although the situation is unfair, Yung Griffin wants only to be held and to forget his troubles, even if it means succumbing to overdose.
