This poignant ballad explores the theme of self-medication through alcohol as a coping mechanism for emotional pain and heartbreak. The protagonist is caught in a cycle of drinking to escape the harsh realities of life and relationship woes, using alcohol as his 'solution'. He acknowledges societal judgments about his excessive drinking, but dismisses them, asserting that others fail to understand his predicament. The lyrics subtly hint at the denial often associated with addiction, as he insists he doesn't have a 'drinking problem.' This song is thus an exploration of the human struggle with addiction and emotional distress, offering insight into the mindset of those who turn to substances for solace.
Drinkin' Problem
Lyrics
One more night, one more down
One more, "One more round"
First one in, last one out
Givin' this town lots to talk about
But they don't know, what they don't know
People say I got a drinkin' problem
That ain't no reason to stop
People sayin' that I've hit rock bottom
Just 'cause I'm livin' on the rocks
It's a broken-hearted thinkin' problem
So pull another bottle off the wall
People say I got a drinkin' problem
But I got no problem drinkin' at all
They keep on talkin', drawin' conclusions
They call it a problem, I call it a solution
Last call gets later and later
I come in here so I don't have to hate her
Same old folks, same old songs
The same old same old blue neon
The same old buzz, just because
People say I've got a drinkin' problem
That ain't no reason to stop
People sayin' that I've hit rock bottom
Just 'cause I'm livin' on the rocks
It's a broken-hearted thinkin' problem
So pull another bottle off the wall
People say I've got a drinkin' problem
But I got no problem drinkin' at all
They keep on talkin', drawin' conclusions
They call it a problem, I call it a solution
Just sittin' here in all my grand illusions
They call it a problem, I call it a solution
Just a solution
It's a broken-hearted thinkin' problem
So pull another bottle off the wall
People say I got a drinkin' problem
But I've got no problem drinkin' at all
They keep on talkin', drawin' conclusions
They call it a problem, I call it a solution
Just sittin' here in all my grand illusions
They call it a problem, I call it a solution
