On Tap, In the Can, or In the Bottle
Bittersweet Symphony: Embracing Misery in a Glass
Lyrics
On tap, in the can or in the bottle
Expressing the availability of drinks either on tap, in cans, or in bottles.
To me it will all taste the same
The speaker perceives no difference in taste regardless of the drink's container.
Down the hatch cause my throat's open throttle
Drinking quickly because the speaker's emotional state is intense and open.
My heart is pumping sorrow through me vanes
The speaker is experiencing deep sorrow, and it's affecting their entire being.
I could drink to the times when I was happy
Reflecting on past happy times and contemplating drinking to them.
But here's a toast to my misery
Toasting to the speaker's current state of misery and unhappiness.
On tap, in the can or in the bottle
Reiterating the options for obtaining drinks: on tap, in cans, or in bottles.
Oh bartender bring it to me
Requesting the bartender to bring a drink to the speaker.
On tap, in the can or in the bottle
Repeating the various options for obtaining drinks.
I wonder who's kissing her now
Expressing curiosity about who might be romantically involved with someone from the speaker's past.
My life I'll have to remodel
Acknowledging the need to make significant changes in the speaker's life.
And learn to life without her somehow
Adapting to life without a significant other who is no longer part of the speaker's life.
There's no place to go and hide myself
Feeling there is no escape or refuge from the emotional turmoil.
The only sanctuary I seek
Describing the desire for a safe haven, which, in this case, is found in alcoholic drinks.
Is on tap, in the can or in the bottle

Oh bartender bring it to me

The only sanctuary I seek
Repeating the desire for a sanctuary in drinks available on tap, in cans, or in bottles.
Is on tap, in the can or in the bottle
Expressing the need for the bartender to bring a drink to the speaker.
Oh bartender bring it to me
