Song Meaning of “Drunk Again” by Scrum
“Drunk Again” by Scrum speaks to a familiar decline, a descent into darkness and maybe oblivion. While it’s possible many of us can relate to the sirens call of a party atmosphere that takes us away from our current sober reality, for others it could be the thing that leads us too far away from who we are and what really matters.
The lyrics describe a state of not really knowing if you’re still in control or if control is slipping away. The feelings of being out of control are echoed in the chorus where the refrain, “I’m drunk again” is repeated to emphasize their nightly routine and downward spiral. In the chorus they sing, “Nobody cares when I’m gone, cause I’m just drunk again.” This could be indicative of the growing sense of isolation that could come with drinking too much and how it can have an impact on you and your relationships.
The pre-chorus offers a bit of a glimmer of hope with the lines, “Fall down and get right back up, Stronger than ever.” This could be a sign of potential resilience and fortitude – that maybe despite the troubles, one can still hold onto strength and that there is still the potential of a better tomorrow.
At the end of the chorus, Scrum sing, “Oh, I’m just drunk again.” This could be seen as an acknowledgment of what they are clinging to, despite the difficulties.
