Lyrics
Oooohh whee, look at me, looking for some sympathy
Expressing a desire for sympathy, possibly due to life challenges.
It's the same old story, of a man and his search for glory
Describing a familiar narrative of a man searching for glory.
And he found it, underneath the bottle
He found his sought-after glory underneath the influence of alcohol.
Things are never good, things go from bad to weird
Life is consistently challenging, transitioning from bad to strange.
Hey gimme another Scotch with my beer
Requesting another alcoholic drink to cope with difficulties.
I'm sad to say, I feel the same today, as I always do
Expressing enduring sadness, a persistent emotional state.
Gimme a drink to relax me
Seeking a drink for relaxation, possibly as a coping mechanism.
Oooohh whee, liquor set free, I can't do no work
Alcohol liberates, but the consequence is an inability to work.
The shake's inside me
Physical tremors ("the shake") caused by alcohol consumption.
Ah shucks, I got the lousiest luck, I'm sick of this
Expressing frustration with one's unfortunate circumstances.
Underneath the bottle
Reiterating the idea of finding solace or escape underneath the bottle.
Seven days make a week, on two of them I sleep
Reflecting on the passing of time, with a focus on sleep and forgetfulness.
I can't remember what the heck I was doing
Memory loss and confusion about past actions or events.
I got bruise on my leg from I can't remember when
Physical injury (bruise) with no clear recollection of its cause.
I fell down some stairs
A fall down stairs leading to physical harm.
I was lyin' underneath the bottle
Being metaphorically under the influence of the bottle during difficult times.
Oooohh whee, son of a B.
Expressing frustration and distress with a mild expletive ("son of a B").
You get so down, you can't get any lower
Feeling emotionally low, possibly indicating depression.
So long world, you play too rough
Expressing a desire to escape from the harshness of the world.
And it's getting me all mixed up
Feeling emotionally confused due to life's challenges.
I lost my pride and it's hiddin'
Acknowledging a loss of personal pride, possibly due to dependency on alcohol.
There, underneath the bottle
Reiterating the theme of hiding emotions or identity beneath the influence of alcohol.
