Lyrics

I'm not sober, I'm hungover

I am currently not experiencing the effects of sobriety; I am dealing with the aftermath of being hungover.

3 AM, man, my night's not over

It's 3 AM, but my night is not finished yet.

I'm not sober, I'm hungover

Reiteration that the speaker is not sober but is instead dealing with a hangover.

Drunk and jaded, faded, I'm a goner

I am intoxicated, feeling worn out, and mentally distant; I may be beyond recovery.

Yeah, ayy, I'm a goner yeah, I'm a goner

Expressing a sense of inevitability or acceptance of being in a difficult situation.

Ayy, baby, I'm a goner yeah

Addressing someone, possibly a partner, and emphasizing the speaker's state of being a "goner."


Dive into me like the water I drink

Inviting someone to explore the speaker's inner self, akin to diving into water.

Gettin' so faded, don't like what I think

Getting highly intoxicated to avoid confronting unpleasant thoughts.

Number the voices and count when they speak

Counting and categorizing the different voices or thoughts in the speaker's mind.

Path to the pinnacle, I'm at my peak

Expressing a sense of reaching the highest point in one's life or achievements.

Cowardly consciousness I'm contradicting

Admitting to conflicting thoughts or a lack of courage in facing reality.

Everything that I've been trying to bring

Struggling to make sense of one's thoughts and emotions.

Forth in my head to make sense of the ring

Attempting to find meaning or understanding in the chaos of thoughts.

Ignore the noise that makes

Choosing to ignore distractions or disturbances that affect emotions.

All my emotions swing

Acknowledging the unpredictable nature of emotions.

Baby, I'ma come through with a whip

Planning to arrive with a car, possibly metaphorical, and a marijuana joint in hand.

With a blunt to my lip

Indulging in a substance, likely marijuana, as a coping mechanism.

Yeah I've got enough gas

Having sufficient fuel (gas) to continue without being restricted by borders or limitations.

Fuck the border, I'ma flip another quarter

Disregarding boundaries and flipping another quarter, possibly referring to a coin or a drug-related term.

Watch the smoke roll off the 'dash, yeah

Observing the smoke from a dashboard, possibly from drug use.

Clean shit, don't trip

Ensuring cleanliness and stability, possibly in contrast to the chaotic thoughts and emotions.

I got everything you need

Assuring someone that the speaker possesses everything they need.

Sippin', just a little splash, yeah

Sipping a small amount of a beverage, possibly as a way to cope with nervousness.

Cold water in my Thermos, I've been nervous

Describing having cold water in a container (Thermos) and feeling nervous.

On the surface

Being uneasy or anxious on the surface, possibly concealing deeper emotions.

But I'm tryna look past (Ayy)

Attempting to look beyond the surface and confront deeper issues.


I'm not sober, I'm hungover

Reiteration of not being sober and dealing with a hangover at 3 AM.

3 AM, man, my night's not over

Despite the late hour, emphasizing that the night is not yet concluded.

I'm not sober, I'm hungover

Restating that the speaker is not sober and is facing the aftermath of a hangover.

Drunk and jaded, faded, I'm a goner

Affirming the intoxicated and worn-out state, suggesting a point of no return.

Yeah, ayy, I'm a goner yeah, I'm a goner

Reiteration of feeling like a "goner," emphasizing the acceptance of a difficult situation.

Ayy, baby, I'm a goner yeah

Continuing to address someone, underscoring the speaker's sense of being a "goner."
