Energy drinks are used for curing hangovers, implying that he had been drinking the night before (he’s blazing, after all) and now he’s curing it by drinking Lucozade.
In his book “ZAYN”, the singer tells that he was working in XYZ’s studio in London and decided to take a break and bought a couple of bottles of pink Lucozade. When he came back, Zayn eventually started writing what would become “Lucozade”. He revealed that the opening lyric came from the bottles he picked up earlier that evening.

Zayn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're blazing on that new found haze
I'm seeing in the blacks and grays, I'm
Hoping that the basket sways
Left to right
Sit and talk shit all night
Does that make it right for so
Maybe, or am I just seeing shit?
You don't even wanna know about the things I hear
Quick fix
Headlines shine bright, you're the fuckin' deal
I'm just wishing its ambition that got
You your position
You'll be fishing for far too long
You're the bad guy in this movie
And I ain't wrong, I don't breathe the pollution
And the only solution
Is making shit confusing
And it ain't about whose winning or losing
But the path that you're choosing
Time heals pain and promotes self-soothing
When the scares are gone you can't see bruising
Wanna take days watching chains and gold rings
I'm getting caught up in the feelings that they bring
A lack of sanity, losing touch with reality
Smoking too much, it's starting to fog up my clarity
Traveling in the day but you're still looking far to me
Bulls eye you the dot to me
Emotions splattered seeing padding
Can't even begin to spot 'em
I'm sad about shit that never happened
No lies in my eyes
Nothing but truth will lay in my mouth
I'm tryna fuckin scream but the words won't come out
Ooh ah
Tryna fuckin' scream but the words won't come out
She's older, I told her
We ain't meant to be
It takes two not three, but I'm here any way
I hope he's leaving soon
Started not to see the elephant in this room
Disguises your perfume
But the smell of it consumes, it takes all my mind
You can search the world but you will never find
I see everything you've done to me
Be there, you run to me
I don't need to pace, I don't need the stamina
If this shit was it, girl, I probably would be runnin' from ya
Kept running
Outwit, 'cause you gunnin'
That outfit 'cause you're stunnin'
Begging 'cause you've choosen me
Got me feeling some type of way I can't explain
The fuck is going on?
I think I got it wrong
When I told you
I was over you or were you under me?
In Zayn's song "Lucozade," the British singer-songwriter explores themes of detachment, confusion, and self-reflection. In the first verse, he talks about sipping on pink Lucozade, a popular UK energy drink, while being in a hazed-out daze. The colors of the world appear muted to him and he feels as if life is swinging him from one side to the other. Even though he's engaging in idle chatter all night, he's still unsure whether his actions are right or wrong. He's fully aware of the pain that's lingering in the house and how that pain is morphing into fear. He's disillusioned by the headlines that shine bright, but deep down, his intuition tells him that it's not the whole truth.
The second verse delves into the singer's relationships, both past, and present. He's reminiscing about his ex-lover who's now older and how their love was never meant to be because it was always a crowd of three instead of two. Nevertheless, he's still present and hoping to continue the tryst. He's become disillusioned with the situation and is now seeing the elephant in the room. The perfume that he used to love is now a reminder of the lies that the lover has told him. He's hoping to free his mind and be able to run from the situation.
Overall, the song portrays the singer's troubled state of mind with the world around him and his personal life. The lyrics oscillate from being confused to being dispassionate towards the events around him.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm sipping pink, Lucozade
I'm drinking pink Lucozade
We're blazing on that new found haze
We're smoking weed and feeling euphoric
I'm seeing in the blacks and grays, I'm
I'm seeing things in a negative light
Hoping that the basket sways
Hoping that luck is on my side
Left to right
Swinging back and forth
Sit and talk shit all night
Talk negatively all night long
Does that make it right for so
Does that make it acceptable?
Maybe, or am I just seeing shit?
Perhaps, or maybe I am imagining things
Seeing the pain side in this house of fear
Seeing the negative side of things in a fearful environment
You don't even wanna know about the things I hear
You wouldn't even want to know the things I've heard
Quick fix
A fast solution
Headlines shine bright, you're the fuckin' deal
You're in the spotlight and everyone wants you
I'm just wishing its ambition that got
I'm hoping your success is due to ambition
You your position
Your successful position
You'll be fishing for far too long
You'll be searching for something that's not there for a long time
You're the bad guy in this movie
You're the antagonist in this situation
And I ain't wrong, I don't breathe the pollution
And I'm not wrong, I don't engage with negative influences
And the only solution
The only answer
Is making shit confusing
Is complicating things
And it ain't about whose winning or losing
And it's not about who's succeeding or failing
But the path that you're choosing
But the way you're going about things
Time heals pain and promotes self-soothing
Time heals emotional pain and helps you cope
When the scares are gone you can't see bruising
Once the fear is gone, you can still feel the emotional pain
Wanna take days watching chains and gold rings
I want to spend days admiring jewelry
I'm getting caught up in the feelings that they bring
I'm getting swept up in the emotions they evoke
A lack of sanity, losing touch with reality
I'm losing my grip on reality
Smoking too much, it's starting to fog up my clarity
I'm smoking too much weed and it's making me confused
Traveling in the day but you're still looking far to me
It feels like we're on different paths, even though we're in the same place
Bulls eye you the dot to me
You're the center of my focus
Emotions splattered seeing padding
My feelings are mixed and all over the place
Can't even begin to spot 'em
I can't even begin to identify my emotions
I'm sad about shit that never happened
I'm upset about things that didn't even occur
No lies in my eyes
I'm being truthful
Nothing but truth will lay in my mouth
I will only speak the truth
I'm tryna fuckin scream but the words won't come out
I'm trying to express my emotions but I can't find the words
Ooh ah
N/A
Tryna fuckin' scream but the words won't come out
I'm still trying to express myself but I'm having trouble doing so
She's older, I told her
She's older than me, and I told her
We ain't meant to be
We're not meant to be together
It takes two not three, but I'm here any way
It takes two people to be in a relationship, but I'm still here anyway
I hope he's leaving soon
I hope her partner is leaving soon
Started not to see the elephant in this room
I started to ignore the obvious issue at hand
Disguises your perfume
Your perfume masks your true intentions
But the smell of it consumes, it takes all my mind
But the smell of it still captivates me and consumes my thoughts
You can search the world but you will never find
You can look everywhere but you won't find what you're seeking
I see everything you've done to me
I see all the ways you've hurt me
Be there, you run to me
You come to me when you need me
I don't need to pace, I don't need the stamina
I don't need to hurry or force anything
If this shit was it, girl, I probably would be runnin' from ya
If all of this was enough, I would probably leave you
Kept running
I kept trying to move on
Outwit, 'cause you gunnin'
Trying to outsmart you because you're gunning for me
That outfit 'cause you're stunnin'
You look stunning in that outfit
Begging 'cause you've choosen me
You want me because you've chosen me
Got me feeling some type of way I can't explain
You're making me feel emotions I can't describe
The fuck is going on?
I don't understand what's happening
I think I got it wrong
I think I made a mistake
When I told you
When I said
I was over you or were you under me?
Did I break up with you, or did you break up with me?

I'm sipping pink Lucozade
We're blazing on that new found haze
I'm seeing in the blacks and grays
I'm hoping that the basket sways
Left to right, sit and talk shit all night
Does that make it right for smoke?
Maybe, or am I just seeing shit?
Seeing the pain inside in this house of fear
You don't even wanna know about the things I hear
Quick fix, headlines shine bright, you're the fuckin' deer
I'm just wishing it's ambition that got you your position
You'll be fishing for far too long
You're the bad guy in this movie
And I ain't wrong, I don't breathe the pollution
And the only solution is making shit confusing
Ain't about who's winning or losin'
It's 'bout the path you're choosin'
Time heals pain and promotes self-soothing
When the scars are gone, you can't see bruising
Wanna take these watches, chains and gold rings
I'm getting caught up in the feelings that they bring
A lack of sanity, losing touch with reality
Smoking too much, it's starting to fog up my clarity
Traveling in the day but you're still looking far to me
Bulls eye, you the dot to me
Emotions splattered, same pattern, can't even begin to spot 'em
I'm sad about shit that never happened
No lies in my eyes, nothing but truth will leave my mouth
I'm tryna fuckin' scream but the words won't come out
I'm tryna fuckin' scream but the words won't come out
She's older, I told her we ain't meant to be
It takes two not three, but I'm here anyway, I hope he's leaving soon
Started not to see the elephant in this room, disguise is your perfume
But the smell of it consumes, it takes all my mind
You can search the world but you will never find
I see everything you've done to me, be there, you run to me
I don't need to pace, I don't need the stamina
If this shit was it, girl, I probably woulda ran from ya
Kept runnin', outwit, cause you cunnin'
That outfit cause you stunnin', begging cause I'm losing mage
Got me feeling some type of way I can't explain
The fuck is going on? I think I got it wrong
When I told you I was over you, or were you under me?
