Scotch and Soda
Intoxicating Highs: Exploring the Blissful Essence of 'Scotch and Soda'
Lyrics
Scotch and soda, mud in your eye,
Drinking to the point of saying "mud in your eye," a toast or cheers expression.
Baby, do I feel high,
The singer feels euphoric or intoxicated.
Oh me, oh my, do I feel high.
Reiterating the heightened feeling of being intoxicated.
Dry martini, jigger of gin,
Mention of a dry martini and a jigger of gin, reinforcing the theme of drinking.
Oh, what a spell you've got me in,
Describing the enchanting or captivating effect of the person on the singer.
Oh my, do I feel high.
Reiterating the heightened feeling due to the person's influence.
People won't believe me,
Anticipating disbelief from others regarding the singer's feelings.
They'll think that I'm just braggin'
Expecting skepticism, suggesting the sincerity of the emotions felt.
That I could feel the way I feel,
Expressing strong emotions despite possibly being expected to abstain from alcohol ("on the wagon").
And still be on the wagon.
Referencing the challenge of maintaining sobriety while experiencing intense feelings.
All I need is one of your smiles,
Desiring the positive and uplifting impact of the person's smile.
Sunshine of your eyes, oh me, oh my,
Highlighting the joy and brightness brought by the person's presence.
Do I feel higher than a kite can fly!
Expressing an elevated emotional state, higher than a kite can fly.
Give me lovin', baby, I feel high.
Desiring love from the person to maintain the heightened emotional state.
People won't believe me,
Anticipating skepticism again regarding the continued intensity of feelings.
They'll think that I'm just braggin'
Expecting doubt about the authenticity of the singer's emotional state.
That I could feel the way I feel,
Reiterating the challenge of feeling deeply while maintaining sobriety.
And still be on the wagon.
Reflecting on the contradiction of intense emotions and adherence to sobriety.
All I need is one of your smiles,
Desiring the positive and uplifting impact of the person's smile, again.
Sunshine of your eyes, oh me, oh my,
Reiterating the joy and brightness brought by the person's presence.
Do I feel higher than a kite can fly!
Expressing an elevated emotional state, higher than a kite can fly, again.
Give me lovin', baby, I feel high.
Desiring love from the person to maintain the heightened emotional state, again.
