Play it Again! DAX – “Dear Alcohol” Remix (Featuring Elle King)

January 25, 2023

Hearing a song that hits you in the heart the first time you hear it is an incredibly powerful experience. It can be a feeling of instant connection and familiarity, even though you’ve never heard the song before. The lyrics and melody seem to perfectly encapsulate your own emotions and thoughts, as if the song was written specifically for you. It’s a moment of pure magic, where the music captures your soul and holds it in a way that is difficult to put into words.

Music creates a feeling that stays with you long after the song has ended, and it’s one that you’ll never forget. It’s a moment that you’ll always cherish, because it’s a reminder of the power that music has to connect us with our own hearts and the hearts of others. That’s how I felt when I heard this remix with DAX and Elle King. If you can relate with getting wasted, then this song might be a good one to add to your playlist and play it again (and again!)

LYRICS

I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight

My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright

I keep drinking til I’m someone I don’t recognize

I got wasted I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight

My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright

I keep drinking til I’m someone I don’t recognize

I got wasted

Repeat the cycle everyday I gotta start with a drink

My life been getting sorta crazy and I don’t wanna think

I look myself right in the mirror and I don’t even blink

Then I get angry take the rest and pour it right in the sink

I know where this road goes

alcohol ain’t my friend but i keep drinking cause these demons roam and follow me round everywhere I go

it clouds my mind and soul it turns my heart cold

but I keep drinking cause it makes me feel like I’m not alone

I having problems my pride won’t let me reach out

Looking at this bottle having nothing but doubt

Don’t wanna drink but it keeps coming around and around and around

I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight

My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright

I keep drinking til I’m someone I don’t recognize

I got wasted I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight

My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright

I keep drinking til I’m someone I don’t recognize

I got wasted

ELLE KING:

Another morning when my memories wavy

don’t hate me I got to faded again

I try to fight it but the loneliness breaks me

can you blame me

The bottles been my friend

Its gotta be sadistic

or maybe masochistic

everynight I just stay twisted

cause the only ones that listens

is that sativa endo

patron and casimagos

I didn’t mean to, but I need to

I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight

My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright

I keep drinking til I’m someone I don’t recognize

I got wasted I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight

My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright

I keep drinking til I’m someone I don’t recognize

I got wasted

I know I need to quit

I gotta do better

Example to these kids

Cause they’re watching when I’m there

But I’m scared

Cause I been chasing the man that I am when I start to drink

He’s cocky confident and he don’t give a damn what you think

This world is beating me down and it’s pushed me right to brink

I take a shot every time because man it helps me escape

I’m taking care of these people but no one takes care of me

I want to talk to somebody but I feel no one relates

I need I better now I think I’ve lost my way I’m having battles with faith

It’s painted right on my face I hope better times are coming

No chase but I’m still running

I gotta take control And I won’t stop for nothing

Dear God this is my test

Promise that I’ll do my best

Just help with this pain I feel and pressure that is on my chest

I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight

My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright

I keep drinking til I’m someone I don’t recognize

I got wasted I got wasted cause I didn’t wanna deal with myself tonight

My thoughts get drowned until I feel alright

I keep drinking til I’m someone I don’t recognize

I got wasted
