Drunk Again

The Four Horsemen's song 'Drunk Again' delves into the depths of despair and self-destruction following a painful breakup. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who wakes up to find his significant other has left him, triggering a downward spiral into excessive drinking and self-neglect. The opening lines set the stage for his realization that something is amiss, and the subsequent verses detail his attempts to cope with the loss through alcohol and cigarettes, highlighting his struggle to find solace in his vices.

The chorus, with its repeated lament of being 'drunk again,' underscores the cyclical nature of his behavior. The protagonist acknowledges his inability to chase after his lost love due to his inebriated state, further emphasizing his helplessness and the depth of his sorrow. The plea to 'put away the jury' and the admission of being 'in a hurry' to escape judgment reflect his desire to avoid facing the consequences of his actions and the reality of his situation.

The song also touches on themes of escapism and the futility of trying to outrun one's problems. The mention of wanting to ride a Harley and leave his troubles behind, only to realize he can't afford one, symbolizes his entrapment in his current state. The repeated references to being 'drunk again' serve as a metaphor for his inability to break free from the cycle of self-destruction and the overwhelming sense of loss that drives him to seek temporary relief in alcohol. Through its raw and honest portrayal of heartbreak and addiction, 'Drunk Again' resonates with anyone who has ever struggled to cope with the pain of losing someone they love.
