DVP

PUP's song 'DVP' is a raw and energetic portrayal of youthful angst and self-destruction. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a young man grappling with the consequences of his reckless behavior, particularly his excessive drinking. The song opens with the protagonist's strained relationship with his girlfriend's sister, who views him as a freak. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, highlighting the protagonist's feelings of alienation and frustration.

The chorus, with its repetitive and almost chant-like 'Woh, Wooh, Wooh ooh,' underscores the cyclical nature of the protagonist's struggles. He acknowledges his drinking problem and the negative impact it has on his relationships, yet he seems trapped in a loop of self-destructive behavior. The line '3 Beers and I'm so messed up, Get drunk and I can't shut up!' captures the essence of his predicament – a desperate attempt to escape his problems through alcohol, only to find himself deeper in trouble.

The song also touches on themes of existential despair and the search for meaning. The protagonist's reckless driving on the Don Valley Parkway and his ambivalence towards life and death ('I don't give a shit, I just don't wanna die, And I don't wanna live') reflect a deeper sense of hopelessness. Despite his bravado, there's a vulnerability in his admission that he's 'still fucked up over you,' indicating that his destructive behavior is, in part, a response to emotional pain. PUP's 'DVP' is a powerful exploration of the chaos and confusion that often accompany youth, making it a relatable anthem for many.
