Schooner Or Later
Thirsty for More: A Spirited Tale of Liquid Gold and Love
Lyrics
His eyes are getting heavy
Feeling tired or drowsy
The sun is coming up
Morning has arrived
And he's just realised
Realizing a situation or circumstance
He's reached the bottom of his cup
Empty cup, possibly metaphorical for reaching a low point
And he's thirsty for more
Desire for more, a need for something
Yeah
Confirmation of the previous line, emphasizing the thirst
Can you feel that?
Asking if the listener can sense something
In your soul?
Referring to a deep emotional experience
Can you feel that?
Repetition for emphasis, possibly a connection to the previous line
Liquid gold
Describing a valuable or cherished substance
It's Friday night and he's just bought a round
Introduction of a character on a Friday night buying drinks for others
It's no surprise how quick they're going down
Drinks are consumed quickly, suggesting a lively atmosphere
He's kicking at the bar and partying out the back
Character is active at the bar and enjoying the party
He's gotta find out what shot he's doing next
Character is deciding on the next alcoholic shot
There's a gold digger and he's looking this way
Reference to someone interested in the character, possibly for financial reasons
They're just lucky it is his pay day
Others benefit from the character's payday
He found himself into a situation
Character is in a challenging situation
They way he's going he's due for escalation
Character's actions are escalating, possibly in a negative way
Can you feel that?
Repetition of asking if the listener can feel something
In your soul?
Referring to a deep emotional experience again
Can you feel that?
Repetition for emphasis, possibly a connection to the previous line
Liquid gold
Describing a valuable or cherished substance again
He found love in the eyes of the beer holder
Finding love in the enjoyment of alcohol
He can't let her get away
The character is captivated and doesn't want to lose the enjoyment
He'll say anything to make her stay
Willing to say anything to maintain the positive experience
(Ahh what the fuck?)
An exclamation, expressing surprise or frustration
He'll sail the night away with
Metaphor for sailing through the night with no clear direction
nothing in sight
Describing a vast emptiness or uncertainty
Just like the Albatross
Reference to the Albatross, a bird associated with bad luck or misfortune
Sinking into the great abyss
Sinking into a difficult or challenging situation
Yeah
Confirmation of the sinking situation
Can you feel that?
Asking if the listener can sense something again
In your soul?
Referring to a deep emotional experience once more
Can you feel that?
Repetition for emphasis, possibly a connection to the previous line
Liquid gold
Describing a valuable or cherished substance again
It's Friday night and he's just fallen down
Character has fallen down, possibly a consequence of excessive drinking
There's no telling when he'll come back round
Uncertainty about when the character will recover
Because he drank himself stupid
Character drank to a point of diminished cognitive function
To the point
Indicating an extreme level of intoxication
Of no
Reached a point of no return, potentially irreversible consequences
Return
Finalizing the idea of irreversible consequences
