methamphetamine blues Lyrics
[Intro: Pinegrove & Scrim]
Nothing here for you to care about
(Y-Y-Y-Y—)
Ooh, ooh
What’s that sound?
(It’s a smash)
(Y-Y-Y-You did good, Slick)
[Chorus: Scrim]
Don’t be asking me how I’ve been, if you don’t really care (Let’s go)
I’ve been looking back, and you weren’t really there (Wo-ah)
Looking in the rear view, haunted by your stare (Ah-hah)
Now I’m throwing pills back until I feel you here (Yeah)
And they keep telling me to move on (Move on)
But I don’t really know where to go, oh (Go)
I’m out somewhere in the unknown (The unknown)
Yeah, but it don’t feel as good as what I know, oh, oh (No), oh
Ooh, I’m going ’round and ’round and ’round and ’round (I’m going ’round and ’round and ’round)
Yeah, can’t let you go, but I can let you down (Wow)
[Verse: Scrim]
All I have left is the ghost of you (Ohh)
Pills in my hand, I’m supposed to do (Okay)
In another world, I’m coming home to you (Yeah)
They tell me turn the page, I can barely turn the wheel (Skrrt)
I’ve been goin’ insane since I looked behind the veil
If it don’t come with shame, then how’d I know it’s real? (Yeah)
Heard you find God in pain but I can barely feel (Whoa)
Steady believing a lie that this time it’ll be different (It’ll be different)
Promise I’ll make some time, but always show up missing, yeah
Beyond recognition (Whoa)
Yeah, headed for a grave (Yeah, ooh)
They say help is just a day away (Day away)
I’m going ’round and ’round and ’round (Whoa)
Let’s go get high before you go away (Go get high, baby)
Maybe these drugs will hold us down (Shh)
I can feel my eyes dilating
Baby, promise me if I don’t awaken
Baby, you’ll be holding me while I’m decaying
‘Cause I, can’t take no more of the
Can’t take no more of the (Woo, ooh)
(Woo, ooh)
[Chorus: Scrim]
Don’t be asking me how I’ve been, if you don’t really care (Let’s go)
I’ve been looking back, you weren’t really there (Wo-ah)
Looking in the rear view, haunted by your stare (Ah-hah)
Now I’m throwing pills back until I feel you here (Yeah)
And they keep telling me to move on, yeah (Move on)
But I don’t really know where to go, oh (Go)
I’m out somewhere in the unknown (The unknown)
Yeah, but it don’t feel as good as what I know, oh, oh (No), ooh
Oh, I’m going ’round and ’round and ’round and ’round (I’m going ’round and ’round and ’round)
Yeah, can’t let you go but I can’t let you down (Wow)
[Outro: Pinegrove]
So then why do I seem to
methamphetamine blues Lyrics Meaning
[Intro: Pinegrove & Scrim]
The intro sets a somber and disoriented tone, beginning with Pinegrove’s detached line “Nothing here for you to care about,” suggesting a feeling of emotional void. Scrim’s entrance—fragmented and echoed—blends unease and instability, signaling that the track will explore internal chaos and vulnerability. The repeated “Y-Y-Y” and abrupt soundbites like “It’s a smash” contrast the gloom, possibly hinting at the manic cycles Scrim finds himself trapped in.
[Chorus: Scrim]
In the chorus, Scrim expresses resentment toward empty concern, highlighting emotional abandonment. His retrospective glance at the past reveals that the other person was never truly present, and now he seeks that presence through self-destructive behavior. The rearview mirror metaphor signifies being haunted by what he lost, while the pills represent a desperate attempt to reconnect with it. Despite advice to move on, he admits to being directionless, trapped in an emotional spiral. The repetition of going “’round and ’round” captures his mental exhaustion, and the inability to let go reflects the cyclical nature of grief and addiction.
[Verse: Scrim]
The verse delves deeper into Scrim’s psyche, where memories of a lost connection linger like a ghost. He questions the authenticity of emotions without accompanying pain, showing his disillusionment with healing. The reference to finding God in pain underscores a search for meaning through suffering. Scrim acknowledges his pattern of making promises he can’t keep, emphasizing his internal conflict and guilt. As the verse progresses, the imagery grows darker—dilated eyes, graves, and the possibility of death—culminating in a desperate plea to be held even in decay. It’s a powerful depiction of emotional collapse masked by drug-induced numbness.
[Chorus: Scrim]
The chorus returns, reinforcing the overwhelming pull of the past and the illusion of closeness that drugs offer. Scrim is caught in a loop of memory, regret, and dependency. The emotional repetition mimics the addictive cycles described throughout the song. Despite knowing he can’t move forward, he still fears letting go, clinging to the only sense of familiarity—even if it’s painful.
[Outro: Pinegrove]
The outro ends the track with a question, “So then why do I seem to,” left unresolved. This incomplete thought reflects the disconnection and fragmentation present throughout the song. It reinforces the idea that Scrim is stuck mid-thought, mid-sentence, mid-grief—unable to fully process, move on, or understand. The abruptness leaves the listener in the same unresolved state, mirroring the emotional stasis Scrim experiences.
