Lyrics

Woke up this morning

Reflecting on waking up in the morning

How'd I make it to bed

Expressing uncertainty about the events leading to going to bed

I can't remember was it all in my head

Questioning if the experiences were real or imagined

Did I drive last night, was I even drunk

Uncertainty about driving and potential intoxication

Did I end up in fights cuz' I'm feelin' numb

Reflecting on potential consequences of numbness, possibly from alcohol


I'm so tired, cleaning up my blood

Expressing fatigue and the aftermath of a physical struggle

Just wanna get higher, feel that with someone

Desiring a heightened emotional state, possibly through substances or connection

I just end up wasted then it's not so fun

Acknowledging the negative consequences of being wasted

Cuz' then I'm alone and end up feelin' dumb

Feeling regret and loneliness after being wasted


Baby, Baby

Addressing someone affectionately

Light me up and fill my lungs with smoke

Desiring escapism through smoking

Pretend that I'm not feelin' nothin

Pretending to be emotionally unaffected

Take another gulp

Consuming substances to cope with emotions

Trying to find acceptance thru the lights and shows

Seeking acceptance through entertainment and social events

Can't get no relief unless it's killin' me

Expressing that relief only comes through self-destructive behaviors


Woke up this morning

Reiterating the experience of waking up

Funny taste in my mouth

Noticing an unusual taste in the mouth

Mouthwash the bad taste

Using mouthwash to alleviate a bad taste, indicating attempts to cleanse

Shit! I stained my favorite blouse

Expressing frustration over staining a favorite item of clothing

Should I call out of work? I'm already late

Considering calling out of work due to lateness

I'm going to sleep, I'll try another day

Deciding to sleep and face another day later


I'm so tired, cleaning up my blood

Repeating the fatigue and aftermath of a physical struggle

Just wanna get higher, feel that with someone

Desiring elevation of emotions with someone else

I just end up wasted then it's not so fun

Acknowledging the negative consequences of being wasted, again

Cuz' then I'm alone and end up feelin' dumb

Reiterating the loneliness and feeling foolish after being wasted


Baby, Baby

Repeating the affectionate address to someone

Light me up and fill my lungs with smoke

Desiring escapism through smoking, again

Pretend that I'm not feelin' nothin

Pretending emotional detachment, again

Take another gulp

Continuing the pattern of consuming substances to cope

Trying to find acceptance thru the lights and shows

Reiterating the search for acceptance through external stimuli

Can't get no relief unless it's killin' me

Reaffirming that relief is only found in self-destructive behaviors


Can't get no, no relief unless it's killin' me

Emphasizing the difficulty in finding relief without self-destructive actions

No, No

Repeating the inability to find relief without harm

Can't get no

Continuing the theme of the inability to find relief

No relief unless it's killin' me

Reiterating the idea that relief comes only through self-destructive actions

(Baby ya killin' me)

Adding a parenthetical expression to emphasize the impact of self-destructive behavior


Baby, Baby

Repeating the affectionate address to someone

Light me up and fill my lungs with smoke

Desiring escapism through smoking, again

Pretend that I'm not (I'm not) I'm not feelin' nothin

Pretending emotional detachment, again

Tryin' to find acceptance thru the lights and shows

Continuing the pattern of consuming substances to cope

Can't get no relief unless it's killin' me

Reiterating the search for acceptance through external stimuli
