Too Many Whiskeys
Intoxicating Memories: Reflections in Too Many Whiskeys
Lyrics
Well I don’t know what to do
Expressing uncertainty or confusion about a situation
And I don’t know what to think
Feeling unsure about one's thoughts or perspective
I could look around this room
Contemplating the surroundings, perhaps seeking distraction
Or just stare into my drink
Suggesting a sense of introspection or melancholy while consuming alcohol
But I keep shuffling my feet
Restless or anxious behavior, possibly due to emotional turmoil
For something to do
Searching for an activity to occupy the mind
I’ve had too many whiskeys
Indicating the consumption of a significant amount of whiskey
Now I’m thinking of you
Associating the influence of whiskey with thoughts of a specific person
Well you’re rattled by his voice
Reacting negatively to someone's voice or presence
As he tries to entertain
Describing an attempt at entertainment that may be unsettling
Don’t know who would want to
Expressing a reluctance to endure similar suffering again
Live through that kinda suffering again
Continuing efforts to master a particular skill or coping mechanism
But I keep working on that trick
Continuing with a metaphorical trick despite challenges
Where they cut me in two
Using whiskey as a coping mechanism for emotional struggles
I grab another whiskey
Seeking solace or distraction through additional whiskey
Know I’m thinking of you
Reiterating the association between whiskey and thoughts of a specific person
Thinking of you
Directly expressing thoughts about the person in question
I’m always thinking of you
Emphasizing the persistent nature of thoughts about the person
Cuz you saw a movie once
Recalling a movie that evoked strong emotions, possibly related to the person
And it had you crying on and on for months
Highlighting the lasting impact of the movie on emotions
Never knew why
Expressing confusion or lack of understanding about the emotional response
Never one for saying goodbye
Not being good at saying goodbye or dealing with farewells
Well I don’t know why I came here
Expressing uncertainty or regret about being in a certain place
And I don’t know when to leave
Uncertainty about when to exit a situation
With this whiskey on my breath
Acknowledging the influence of whiskey on one's breath
And my heart here on my sleeve
Vulnerability and emotional openness, wearing one's heart on the sleeve
Well the band kicks
Reference to a band playing something new, introducing a change in the atmosphere
Says they’re playing something new
Indication of further whiskey consumption despite its effects
I’ve had too many whiskeys
Reiterating the impact of whiskey on thoughts and emotions
Leaves me sitting here
Expressing a sense of loneliness or sadness
Boohoo
Repeating the emotional state with a lighthearted term ("Boohoo")
No one near no one dares
Emphasizing the lack of people nearby and the hesitancy of others
Boohoo
Repeating the emotional state with a playful term ("Boohoo")
Somebody could overhear
Expressing concern about being overheard while expressing emotions
Boohoo
Repeating the emotional state with a humorous term ("Boohoo")
Plenty time just thinking bout
Reflecting on plenty of time spent contemplating
Boohoo
Repeating the emotional state with a playful term ("Boohoo")
I’m always thinking of you
Reiterating the persistent thoughts about the person
