| Dredg – Hung Over on a Tuesday Lyrics

I've put a similar comment on Zebraskin but I think these two songs should be listened to as a pair. One about the guy who walks away from the alcoholism, one who stays - in Zebraskin the telling lines are, just as in this, the last few. Here it's 'You'll always be there/But you are gone to me' - in Zebraskin it's 'I wonder (may have lost my best friend).../I wonder (may have found my best friend)'. The two are about a pair of friends (or at least, I believe so) - one of whom decides to lose his best mate to save himself, the other who decides to lose his best mate to remain on his path of alcoholic self-destruction. |

I think this song should be listened to with 'Hungover On a Tuesday' on the same album - the two work very well as a pair. This I see as the guy who has destroyed his friendship through alcoholism and the other as the friend who walks away from this sort of life. The line 'I think I may have found my best friend' hurts me every time, because it's so understated - this man, despite his apparent pain over losing his mate, realises that drink will always be his 'best friend'. So harsh, so true. |
