Let's Get Drunk
Intoxicating Reflections: A Journey Through Life's Forgotten Moments
Lyrics
Let's get drunk
Expressing the desire to consume alcohol
Forget this whole world exists
Escaping from the realities of the world
Remember dead presidents
Recalling historical figures featured on currency
That won't ever rise from the ground
Reflecting on the permanence of the deceased
Let's get drunk
Reiterating the desire to drink
And keep on drinking
Continuing the act of consuming alcohol
Til we don't know what we're saying
Drinking to the point of losing coherence
Til we say something we won't regret
Risking saying something regrettable
Let's get drunk
Emphasizing the persistent urge to get drunk
And toast to our fallen friends
Toasting to friends who have passed away
And those who ain't fallen yet
Toasting to those still alive
And those we wish we'd forget
Acknowledging individuals one wishes to forget
And we'll find them
Searching for these individuals
Around the dark side of the moon
Imagining a distant, hidden place
And say we'll be together soon
Anticipating a future reunion
In this world or the next
Contemplating reunion in this life or the afterlife
On that day
Speculating on a day of forgiveness
Maybe we'll forgive each other
Hope for mutual forgiveness
And learn to love one another
Encouraging love despite imperfections
Despite our fucked up ways
Acknowledging personal flaws and mistakes
Let's get drunk
Repeating the theme of getting drunk
Forget what you said to me
Suggesting the need to forget hurtful words
Remember dead memories
Recalling memories that are best forgotten
That won't ever be recalled
Acknowledging irretrievable memories
Let's get drunk
Reiterating the desire to drink
We'll pretend we're family
Pretending to be a close-knit family
Despite of the DNA
Ignoring biological ties in favor of emotional connection
That's shared between us
Recognizing shared experiences
Let's get drunk
Reaffirming the call to get drunk
And say to each other 'I love you'
Expressing love despite its insincerity
Even though we know it ain't true
Acknowledging the lack of truth in professions of love
Maybe it will be then
Hope for genuine love in the future
And I'll find you
Continuing the search for connection
Around the dark side of the sun
Imagining a remote and mysterious place
I'll tell you that I am your son
Revealing a familial connection
And show you all that you've missed
Describing the missed experiences with a parent
On that day
Anticipating a future of forgiveness
I think I'll forgive you
Considering forgiveness for past wrongs
Maybe you'll forgive me too
Hope for reciprocal forgiveness
Maybe you will be gone
Contemplating the absence of a parent
So let's get drunk
Repeating the call to get drunk
One more time before I go
Expressing the urgency to drink before departure
I'll tell you all that I know
Sharing knowledge before leaving
And maybe you'll listen this time
Hope for attentive listening
Let's get drunk
Repeating the urgency to get drunk before parting
One more time before you go
Requesting information before departure
Please tell me all that you know
Expressing willingness to listen
I promise I'll listen this time
Committing to attentive listening
