Slightly Hungover

The song 'Slightly Hungover' by Blues Delight uses the metaphor of a hangover to describe the lingering emotional effects of a relationship. The repetition of the phrase 'Slightly hungover of you' suggests that the singer is experiencing a residual emotional toll from their interactions with the person they love. The hangover here is not from alcohol, but from the intoxicating effects of love and the subsequent 'withdrawal' one feels when apart from the object of their affection.

The use of the word 'blues' in the lyrics ties the song to the blues music tradition, which often deals with themes of love, loss, and longing. The singer admits to never having felt the blues before meeting their partner, indicating that this relationship has introduced them to a new depth of emotion, both good and bad. The blues, in this context, represents the sadness and melancholy that can accompany intense romantic feelings.

The final verses of the song introduce a sense of hope and recovery. The 'morning after' suggests that the pain of the emotional hangover will not last forever, and the singer will eventually move on from the feelings they have for their partner. This resolution brings a sense of closure to the song, as the singer acknowledges the transient nature of their emotional state and looks forward to a time when they will be 'over with you.'
