    4 am, high and drunk to a level of stupidity, sitting on the bed and looking up at the lights as your mind struggles between overthinking and not thinking at all.. the beautiful clarity you get when you're free from crushing thought for just a few hours.. This is that feeling. Knowing that you have a problem with escaping from reality.

    Everybody that is here commenting are the lucky ones that came across this music. This is truly a piece of art ❤️ I have wandered off in my mind into places I maybe have been trying to suppress regret. The past. Decision s. But at the same time it's enlightening sorrow. Idk.

    The first time I heard this song, I was 10 years old, and I have never thought about it since. Just the other day at work, this song popped into my head again, and I have no clue why. I'm 24 now, and I had completely forgotten about Royksopp. Strange how the mind works.

  • @faintmanifestation6169

    I have such a deep feeling from this song. I'm not sure what it's about, but its sadness to me. Like the sadness of making a difficult choice, things go wrong and you don't know how you got to this point in your life. I used to fall asleep crying to this song during a particularly dark time in my life. My life cleared up eventually, but I can still listen to this song and drift away like im on a raft in the ocean.

    Perfectly suited to alcohol. And seems to describe someone who is alcoholic - the joy and addictive nature of alcohol. The rain at the ends makes me think of an alcoholic out in the rain, care free; and the rain also seems to describe the condition of their life.

      Funny story. I went to work one more, and for some reason, this song absolutely touched me. I don't know why. I had heard it before, but this one morning on the way to work, I really listened. I pulled up to the stoplight. I screenshot it from Pandora. When I got to work, I sat in my car and looked at my photo album only to see this song called "The Alcoholic." I was stunned. I felt like there was a meaning behind it. I looked it up on UA-cam. The first video I clicked on was the one with the puppet. I broke down crying. That puppet was me.
