Song Meaning of “Liquor Lobotomy” by Gets Worse
Liquor Lobotomy is a song about isolation, and how it can lead to internal and external chaos. A “liquor lobotomy” is symbolic for numbing ones feelings in the search for freedom from pain. The song writer may feel as though all of his actions are predetermined for him, and he’s searching for an escape. He’s looking for a kind of “lobotomy” that will take away the pain and make him feel alive once again. He begs with his inner self to stay strong, no matter how hard it is to battle against his personal demons. To find solace, he looks to the liquor, diving deep into a depression in the hope of finding redemption. He realizes that in his attempts to forget, he might be just numbing his emotions and not actually getting rid of the pain. In the end, the song speaks to anyone who has ever felt alone and desperate enough to turn to alcohol for a way out. It’s a plea to stay strong, even in the darkest of days, and to never let the pain consume you.
