A Happy Drunk
From Joy to Solitude: Queer Jane's Tale of a Happy Drunk's DescentLyrics
I used to be a happy drunk
I used to experience joy while intoxicated
But those days are gone
Those joyful days are now in the past
I used to laugh and dance and sing
I used to laugh, dance, and sing while inebriated
Now I prefer to be alone
Currently, I prefer solitude over socializing
Trying hard to hold your hand
Struggling to maintain stability, possibly avoiding stumbling
So I don't hit the floor
Expressing a desire not to collapse or fall
I used to be a happy drunk
Recalling a time when I was a joyful drunk
Now I'm a sad sad bore
Now, I am a dull and uninteresting person when intoxicated
I used to be a happy drunk
Reflecting on a past when I was a cheerful and attractive drunk
A charming handsome man
My presence at parties is now avoided by others
Now everybody at the party
Trying to connect with someone, perhaps for support or guidance
Avoids me if they can
Efforts to avoid falling or losing control
Trying hard to hold your hand
Recalling a time when life was carefree and enjoyable
So I can find my door
Feeling the consequences and pain of one's actions
I used to be a happy drunk
Reminiscing about a happier drunk version of oneself
Now I'm a sad sad bore
Currently, I am a depressing and uninteresting drunk
I used to be a happy drunk
Describing a time when life felt like a playful and enjoyable game
Life was just a game
Feeling the reversal of fortune, with pain taking over
Now I feel the wind blow back
Struggling to hold onto a relationship that is fading away
And all that's left is pain
Expressing the loss of love and affection
Trying hard to hold your hand
Attempting to hold onto a connection that is slipping away
But you love me no more
The realization that the love is no longer reciprocated
I used to be a happy drunk
Reflecting on a time when intoxication brought happiness
Now I'm a sad sad bore
Now, the intoxicated state brings about sadness and monotony
I used to be a happy drunk
Recalling a past when intoxication led to happiness
But those days are gone
Those joyful days are now distant memories
I used to laugh and dance and sing
Reflecting on a time of laughter, dance, and song while intoxicated
Now I prefer to be alone
Currently, the preference is for solitude over socializing
Trying hard to hold your hand
Struggling to maintain stability, possibly avoiding stumbling
So I don't hit the floor
Expressing a desire not to collapse or fall
I used to be a happy drunk
Recalling a time when I was a joyful drunk
Now I'm a sad sad bore
Now, I am a dull and uninteresting person when intoxicated
I used to be a happy drunk
Reflecting on a past when I was a cheerful and attractive drunk
Now I'm a sad sad bore
Now, I am a depressing and uninteresting drunk
