Lyrics
All my friends are drunk again
All the people in my social circle are intoxicated once again
And I'm stumblin' back to bed all by myself
I'm stumbling my way back to bed alone
Don't need nobody else
I don't require anyone else
All my friends are drunk again
A repetition emphasizing that everyone around is drunk
And I'm stumblin' back to bed all by myself
I'm again struggling to get back to bed on my own
Don't need nobody else
I'm self-sufficient and don't need companionship
Smell like smoke, nuit de l'homme
I smell like smoke, referencing a specific cologne ("nuit de l'homme")
It's been a while since we last spoke
It's been a while since we last communicated
So tell me, how's it go?
Asking about the current state of affairs
Still love blues, nothin' new
Still enjoying blues music, nothing has changed
Careless love, I've had a few
Expressing a nonchalant attitude towards love, having experienced it casually
How 'bout you?
Asking the listener about their experiences with love
All my friends are drunk again
Reiteration that all friends are currently intoxicated
And I'm stumblin' back to bed all by myself
Repeating the solo journey back to bed, emphasizing independence
Don't need nobody else
Emphasizing self-sufficiency, not needing anyone else
All my friends are drunk again
Restating the prevalence of intoxication among friends
And I'm stumblin' back to bed all by myself
Repeating the process of returning to bed alone
Don't need nobody else
Reiterating the independence and lack of need for others
I never have thought
Reflecting on not anticipating the difficulty of moving on when someone is absent
When you're gone
Expressing the difficulty of carrying on when the person is no longer present
I'd find it hard to carry on
Reflecting on the unexpected challenge of continuing life without the person
And it's probably 'cause
Suggesting that the difficulty is likely because of falling in love in the past
I fell in love way back then
Recalling a past love
And I think about us when
Thinking about the relationship when reminiscing about the past
I think about us when
Repeating the reflection on the past relationship
All my friends are drunk again
Restating the prevalence of intoxication among friends
And I'm stumblin' back to bed all by myself
Reiterating the solitary return to bed, highlighting loneliness
I got nobody else
Emphasizing the lack of anyone else in the speaker's life
All my friends are drunk again
Repeating the observation of friends being drunk
And I'm stumblin' back to bed all by myself
Reiterating the individual journey back to bed and the absence of others
I got, I got nobody else
Underlining the solitude with a reaffirmation of having nobody else
