Song Meaning of “Drunk and a Flirt – Live” by Metal Duck
This song is an exploration of the juxtaposition between the feeling of being drunk and in love. The narrator is describing the chaotic feeling of being in the throes of a reckless love affair and the heady joy of having those feelings reciprocated. The line “whiskey and red lipstick” captures the idea of being both wild and passionate – two forces that seemingly should be in opposition, yet coexist perfectly in this relationship. The narrator is reveling in the joy of being in love despite the fact that it could possibly be doomed, and he is begging to keep it going for just a little while longer. Drinking symbolizes the idea of trying to block out the inevitable future – a future without the other person – and it’s not a mistake that the narrator choose to sing it as a live version. The energy of a live song captures the closeness and feeling of that particular moment, a reminder that the narrator doesn’t want this time to end. In the end, the narrator is warning the object of his affections that they can continue this love affair but they have to accept that it can’t last forever, because that the is the burden of being a “drun and a flirt.”
