The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Drunk in Love (Remix)" by the artist "Weeknd, The"

Contents

In "Drunk in Love (Remix)", The Weeknd doesn't sing about romantic love. Instead, he paints a picture of a hedonistic lifestyle filled with drugs, casual encounters, and an obsession with success. The lyrical protagonist, mired in this vicious cycle, doesn't seek love but only momentary pleasures, as evidenced by his words "I'm not in love with you, I can't be loving you."

The verses detail his dependence on various substances ("purple drank", "molly", "pills"), promiscuous sexual encounters ("I want you right now"), and obsession with material wealth. He boasts about his wealth and success, mocking those who criticize his lifestyle.

The chorus, at first glance, sounds romantic ("We were drunk in love all night"). However, considering the context, it becomes clear that "love" here is a metaphor for intoxication caused by both alcohol and drugs, as well as sexual desire.

Overall, "Drunk in Love (Remix)" is a frank and cynical look at the dark side of fame, where genuine feelings are sacrificed in pursuit of pleasure and success.

[Verse 1:]

I've been mixin',

I've been sippin'

Since I been 20,

On that lean, baby girl

I've been poppin',

And I've been rollin'

Since I was 17,

I've been geekin' on that water

I want you, now now

I'm not tryna fuck tomorrow

Baby I want you, now now

Don't take my number,

Don't want your number

I'll call you back

If that head right baby

I won't love you, I can't love you

Unless that pussy

Got some super powers

I want you, now now

I'm not trying to fuck tomorrow

Baby I want you, now now

[Hook:]

And I woke up in the kitchen saying

"How the hell did this shit happen?"

Oh baby, drunk in love

We be all night

The last thing I remember

Is your beautiful body grindin' in the club

Drunk in love

We be all night, love, baby, love

We be all night, love, baby, love

[Verse 2:]

Wanna fuck a skinny model

Right before her runway show

She the one in the back,

Nose running from the blow

And we did it on the floor,

That's why she walkin' kind of funny

Should've never put us on,

Bitch I'm only 24

And everybody salty,

Ngas stop your bitchin'

Everybody makin' money,

We don't need to kick it

I'm chillin' with my ngas,

Everybody got a crib

Did an album just to do it,

Droppin' albums like a pill

Percocets, Adderall,

Ecstasy, pussy, money, weed

Faded for a week,

I don't sleep, fuck my enemies

Try to stay sane

Is like a full time hobby

Everything I do,

Fake ngas always copy

All I want to do

Is go on tour and drop albums

And if I live forever,

Probably drop a hundred thousand

Dick made out of magic,

My tongue got superpowers

I woke up in the mornin',

Models passed out in the shower

[Hook:]

And I woke up in the kitchen saying

"How the hell did this shit happen?"

Oh baby, drunk in love

We be all night

The last thing I remember

Is your beautiful body grindin' in the club

Drunk in love

We be all night, love, baby, love

We be all night, love, baby, love
