Drinking Again
Yearning in Libations: A Melancholic Reflection
Lyrics
I’m drinking again
I am consuming alcohol once more
And thinking of when you loved me
Reflecting on the time when you had affection for me
I’m having a few, and wishing that
Having a few drinks and longing for your presence
you were here
Wishing that you were with me
Making the rounds
Socializing and buying drinks for strangers
And buying the rounds
Generously providing rounds of drinks
For strangers
Engaging in foolish behavior, hoping that you'll show up
Being a fool, just hoping that
Expressing vulnerability and a desire for reconciliation
you’ll appear
Hopeful anticipation of seeing you again
Sure, I can borrow a smoke
Acknowledging the ability to seek small comforts, like borrowing a cigarette
Maybe tell some joker a bad joke
Possibly sharing a lighthearted, distracting joke with someone
But who’s gonna laugh
Questioning who would find humor in a heartbroken state
At a broken heart
Highlighting the pain of a shattered heart
Oh, yeah, I’m drinking again
Indicating a repetitive pattern of returning to drinking
It’s always the same
Emphasizing the predictability of the situation
That same old story
Referring to a familiar and recurrent narrative
After the kicks there’s just little
After seeking thrills, facing the confusion of one's identity
old mixed-up me
Describing a self in disarray after moments of excitement
Trying to lose a dream that
Attempting to let go of a dream that once existed
used to be
Reflecting on the loss of a past dream or aspiration
Look at me, I’m drinking again
Expressing the recurrence of drinking behavior throughout the town
all over town
Reiterating the act of consuming alcohol in various locations
