Sober

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm here to
Hurt the situation
Could you please
Pass me the substance
While I sort through Complications
Better days have
Come and gone
Why I came here
Probably to reassure you
That the end is
Drawing nearer
Sipping on a 40
Bumping me some Bone
I know the bodies piling up
But
Can you name a better throne
What's the move
Nobody knows
You say to jump I say how high
You say the sky
So now I'll reach for
Heaven and
Wonder where we go
Whenever we fuckin die
I can't multitask like this
Yeah shit sucks
Yeah life a bitch
So pour me up
Let's drink to this
When I go to Hell I'll
Have a 20 in my pocket
A Percocet I'm popping
Pistol swinging while I'm walking
When I go to hell I'll have some Liquor in my system
Perfect stance and rhythm
Wavin' at my victims
When I go to Hell they'll wanna Know who fuckin sent me
Smiling so intently
A barstool and a belt G
When I go to hell I'll have some Status and some henny
No more scrapping Pennie's
I got brimstone here aplenty
When I go to hell
Come thru and visit at
My gravesite
Pour my ashes moonlight
Ohio River sounds tight
When I go to hell I'll miss the Ones who stood beside me
Guest list at my wake please
Kill the ones
Who marked Green
The lyrics of "Sober" by Wildman Steve convey a sense of inner turmoil and regret. The opening lines describe a shadow that follows the singer, making them feel guilty and responsible for everything that has gone wrong. The imagery of a stalking butler creates a sense of unease and threat, suggesting that the singer feels pursued and powerless. The phrase "murder now the path called 'must we'" suggests a desire to escape from the constraints of social expectations and obligations, but also a sense of remorse for the consequences of breaking norms.
The lyrics then shift to a plea to Jesus for something new and different, a departure from past mistakes and regrets. The repetition of the line "Why can't we not be sober?" speaks to a desire for escape from reality, but also to a recognition that alcohol has its own dangers and consequences. The second verse finds the singer reflecting on their own flaws and limitations, acknowledging their own complicity in creating problems and complications in relationships. The line "I will find a center in you" suggests a desire to connect with someone more stable and grounded, but also a tendency to consume and destroy the things they seek out.
The repeated plea to "trust me" takes on a more sinister tone as the song progresses, suggesting that the singer may not be entirely trustworthy or reliable. The reference to "Mother Mary" may suggest a desire for forgiveness and redemption, but also a sense of desperation and helplessness. The final line, "I want what I want," encapsulates the singer's sense of entitlement and selfishness, but also a deep-seated dissatisfaction with the status quo.
Line by Line Meaning
There's a shadow just behind me,
I am constantly followed by darkness and negativity.
Shrouding every step I take,
It's constantly weighing me down and affecting everything that I do.
Making every promise empty,
No matter how hard I try, I can never keep my word.
Pointing every finger at me.
Everyone blames me for everything that goes wrong.
Waiting like a stalking butler
This feeling of darkness is always present, like it's waiting for me to slip up.
Who upon the finger rests.
It's almost like it's waiting for me to fail so it can pounce.
Murder now the path called "must we"
Sometimes I feel like I have to take drastic measures to escape this feeling of darkness.
Just before the son has come.
But I know that if I do so, I will be destroying any hope for a better future.
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Sometimes I pray for a sign or a miracle to help me move past this feeling.
Something but the past and done?
But I know that I need to focus on the present and the future, not dwell on my mistakes.
Why can't we not be sober?
I wish I could escape this feeling of darkness.
I just want to start this over.
I want to hit reset and start over with a clean slate.
Why can't we drink forever.
Sometimes I wish I could just numb the pain and forget everything.
I just want to start things over.
But deep down, I know that's not the solution.
I am just a worthless liar.
I feel like a fraud and like I'm not good enough for anyone or anything.
I am just an imbecile.
I feel stupid and incompetent.
I will only complicate you.
I know I'm not easy to be around and I tend to make things difficult for others.
Trust in me and fall as well.
But despite all of this, I want people to trust me and follow me into the darkness.
I will find a center in you.
I'm looking to others to help me find my balance and my way out of this darkness.
I will chew it up and leave,
But in the end, I know that I will end up just hurting them too.
I will work to elevate you
Despite my intentions, I know that I will only bring others down with me.
Just enough to bring you down.
My own darkness is too strong and will eventually consume anyone who tries to help me.
Trust me.
I'm asking for trust, but I know it's hard to give.
Mother Mary won't you whisper
I'm looking for any kind of guidance or support to help me find my way.
Something but what's past and done.
I know that dwelling on the past is not helpful, but I need something to help me move forward.
Trust me.
Again, I'm asking for trust despite my own shortcomings.
I want what I want.
Despite everything, my own desires and wishes are still the most important thing to me.

Boy we're just gonna keep using him for views huh? It sucks to be dragging him, yeah he's responsible for his actions, but kicking him while he's obviously way down ain't helpin'.
Maybe it's the plugging of the merch on this clip specifically, or maybe it's the lack of care, at least it feels like there's not much care for Bam anymore.
I don't ignore that Steve-o can do what he wants with his content, whatever, go hog wild, he'll do as he wills with his success.
But everyone knows the day we lose Bam is gonna hit hard.
If Steve-o wants to use Bam's name to get views and sell more merch? Can't support it myself, but he'll do it if he wants to.
Just hope he gives Phil and April whatever he makes off these types of clips, especially if he's going to throw Bam's name in the title AND have that "copy paste" clip advertising whatever new item he's got.
I know Bam's fucked up. And no one's fully moved on from the past, but if you keep kicking someone while they're down? They're only gonna fall deeper into the hole they dug a long time ago.
@justinhopper5941
Wee man has the most chilled out vibe, he’s probably the happiest drunk ever lol
@GlorifiedGremlin
Type of dude you go out with, get drunk with, lose, and then find crowd surfing an hour later lol
@fedsmoker943
until he stands up on the table and pisses in your fuckin face
@justinhopper5941
@fed smoker You talk like that’s a negative thing
@BadMFJules
Met him once when I was 10 years old just before the Iron Maiden concert in Irvine, CA. He was partying it up with his buddies in the parking lot. Just a cool dude.
@janberkemeier7406
Bam is a prime example for how getting too wealthy too early in life can really mess you up
@psychedelictacos9118
And not having any parenting boundaries, I mean no disrespect to his parents though, they are lovely!
@brandonthomas9288
He called them by their names. I had a friend in high school that did that. It weirded me out and definitely set a strange parental boundary as you suggested.
@Salesedere
100% this
@user-eb4vs6si1n
Something I've never seen any of them take responsibility for is that bam was WAY younger than them
