Lyrics
I got so messed up
I experienced a state of confusion or disorder.
When I was in Tennessee
This confusion occurred during my time in Tennessee.
I lost all my touch
I lost my ability to connect with reality.
Touch on reality
This loss of connection was specifically related to reality.
Tell me how you’re feelin’
Asking about the emotional state of the other person.
Tell me if you’re feelin’ strange
Asking if the other person is experiencing something unusual.
We drank too much liquor
Excessive alcohol consumption took place.
Now it’s running to our brain
The effects of alcohol are now affecting our brains.
Now there’s something in the water
There is something significant happening, possibly metaphorically represented as "in the water."
and it’s coming upstream, yeah
This significant event is approaching from the opposite direction.
Now that you’re gone
The person addressed in the song is no longer present.
I’m scared that I wont have anyone
There is a fear of being alone or lacking companionship.
It’s been too long
A considerable amount of time has passed since engaging in a particular activity, possibly going on a run.
Since we went out, out on a run
Refers to the duration of time since going out on a run with someone.
It’s not that I don't care about you
Clarifying that the lack of caring is not due to indifference.
It’s not that I don't care at all
Emphasizing that there is still some level of care, despite previous statements.
It’s not that I don't care about you
Reiterating that there is care, but it is not absolute.
I just, I don’t care at all
Expressing a lack of overall concern or emotional investment.
Now there’s something in the water
Repeating the mention of a significant event, possibly negative, approaching.
and it’s coming upstream, yeah
This significant event is moving against the current, adding a sense of challenge or adversity.
