Overdose
maryne Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think I'm lost in the smell of your skin, the California air
Lights are fading, Aretha blazing, I say a little prayer
I'm down upon my knees, tonight

I just want to overdose on you
Hit me with the worst that you can do
Yeah I just want to overdose on you
You got me high yeah

You got me flying

I think I'm wasted, intoxicated, out of gasoline
Feel the bang bang, smoking mustang, it's a narco scene
I'm down upon my knees, tonight

I just want to overdose on you
Hit me with the worst that you can do
Yeah I just want to overdose on you
You got me high yeah
You got me flying

Overdose
You got me high yeah
You got me flying
Overdose
You got me high yeah
You got me flying
Overdose

Todo lo que quiero es estar contigo
Porque te amo y si no me muero antes que tu
La vida no me importa más
Sería una locura y yo también tendré que morir
Es así

I'm down upon my knees, tonight

I just want to overdose on you
Hit me with the worst that you can do
Yeah I just want to overdose on you
You got me high yeah
You got me flying

Overdose
You got me high yeah
You got me flying
Overdose
You got me high yeah
You got me flying
Overdose

You got me high yeah

You got me flying
Overdose

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Maryne's song "Overdose" suggest a state of deep infatuation and surrender to the overwhelming emotions triggered by the other person's proximity. The first verse creates a sensory overload as the singer gets lost in the smell of the person's skin and the California air. The fading lights and Aretha's voice add to the dreamlike, almost hypnotic quality of the scene. The chorus reveals the maximum expression of the singer's desire: to overdose on the object of her affection, to experience the most intense and extreme sensations possible, even if they come with a potential risk of harm. The repetition of "You got me high, yeah/ You got me flying" suggests an altered state of consciousness, possibly triggered by drugs or alcohol, but mainly caused by the other person's influence.

The second verse reinforces the idea of intoxication and danger, as the singer feels wasted and exhausted, like a car out of gasoline. The reference to a "narco scene" implies that they might be in a risky or illicit environment, surrounded by smoke and fast cars. The Spanish interlude adds a layer of vulnerability and depth to the song, as the singer admits that being with that person is all she wants, even if it means risking her life. The repetition of "I'm down upon my knees, tonight" suggests a submissive position or a plea for mercy, reinforcing the idea of surrender to the other person's power.
