about

I didn't want Lovesick Soul to be totally depressing all the way through, so I wrote a song about a rather pleasant experience, even though it came as a result of my fighting mentality after an experience that would tear me apart inside for a long time to come. Intoxicated is set in a 22nd birthday party of a girl I once had a crush on in 2008. One of her guests was rather pleasant to dance with, which made me bask in the whole atmosphere, especially after drinking Cactus Jack schnapps and Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey... whilst also taking medication that I later read WAS NOT supposed to be mixed with alcohol!

lyrics

Ohhh!
Tonight’s a time to let emotions run wild
There’s so much shit that’s just got me riled
I’m back on old school medication pills
Drinking schnapps and whisky for some big thrills
With my love life gone, I got no more to lose
I need excitement that I can effuse
I’m lucky as fuck to dance with you up close
That body of yours is a mega dose

Everything’s distorted more than my guitars
You make me wanna headbang ‘til I’m seeing stars
That sexy smile and that luscious hair
Is like a pheromone with its scent in the air
I only met you barely hours ago
And already I want you in my dreams also
I couldn't find a better way to feel intoxicated

Other girls gyrate above me while I'm on the floor
Just like they want my tongue to lunge up for the score
I’m as good as dead if their boyfriends are near
But so what when I have no love life here
In any case you’re still the one I prefer
And since this night will soon become a blur
I’d love to pretend for now you were mine
Right now I need to feel over-refined

Everything’s distorted more than my guitars
You make me wanna headbang ‘til I’m seeing stars
That sexy smile and that luscious hair
Is like a pheromone with its scent in the air
I only met you barely hours ago
And already I want you in my dreams also
I couldn't find a better way to feel intoxicated

Everything’s distorted more than my guitars
You make me wanna headbang ‘til I’m seeing stars
That sexy smile and that luscious hair
Is like a pheromone with its scent in the air
I only met you barely hours ago
And already I want you in my dreams also
I couldn't find a better way to feel
No, I never could find a better way
Never in a million years to feel intoxicated
