Blacked Out
Blacked Out: Navigating the Maze of Lost Memories and Longing
Lyrics
I'm in this crowded room
Feeling isolated in a crowded space
Alone under the lights
Emphasizing the sense of being alone despite external visibility
I should pretend to smoke
Considering engaging in an action to fit in
And join the crowd outside
Considering joining others outside the room
Hanging with the pretty boys
Socializing with attractive individuals from an affluent area
And girls from up the hill
Interacting with people from a privileged background
I need another drink
Repeatedly seeking solace in alcohol
And another drink
-And another drink
-And another drink
-Last night I blacked out
Referring to a blackout from the previous night due to excessive drinking
It's all I can do to forget about
Using blackout as a coping mechanism to forget past experiences
Back home, back then
Reflecting on memories from home and an earlier period in life
And all the things that I haven't found
Feeling a lack of accomplishment or unfulfilled ambitions
I miss the place where I grew up
Nostalgia for the place of upbringing
I miss the ones that I love
Longing for the affection of loved ones
Last night I blacked out
Repeated cycle of excessive drinking and wanting to leave
It happens more than I talk about
-My head is spinning now
-I should really go
-I used to make my folks proud
Previously used to make family proud, now feeling a loss of control
Now I lose control
Losing control of actions, contrasting past behavior
These bright lights and boulevards
Expressing dissatisfaction with current surroundings compared to media portrayal
Look better on TV
Disappointment with the reality of bright lights and streets
I need another drink
Repeatedly seeking solace in alcohol (repeated pattern)
And another drink
-And another drink
-And another drink
-Last night I blacked out
Reiteration of the cycle of blackout, using alcohol to cope, and yearning for home and loved ones
It's all I can do to forget about
-Back home, back then
-And all the things that I haven't found
-I miss the place where I grew up
-I miss the ones that I love
-Last night I blacked out
-It happens more than I talk about
-I need another drink
-And another drink
-And another drink
-And another drink
-Last night I blacked out
-It's all I can do to forget about
-Back home, back then
-And all the things that I haven't found
-I miss the place where I grew up
-I miss the ones that I love
-Last night I blacked out
-It happens more than I talk about
