Song interpretation

Wasted is a high-energy, humorous track from the 2022 Tamil film Vikram, composed and performed by Anirudh Ravichander. The song depicts the wild, dizzying experience of extreme alcohol intoxication during a night of heavy drinking. Through playful lyrics, the protagonist describes consuming various alcoholic beverages, losing physical balance, experiencing sensory hallucinations, and oscillating between feeling invincible and admitting complete loss of control.

Poetic devices

End Rhyme

“I’ve had 3 shots of JD and 4 rounds of Gin / Some Jagermeister in my belly I’m about to win”

The words 'Gin' and 'win' at the end of consecutive lines rhyme, giving the verse a smooth rhythmic flow.

Visual Imagery

“I see colours in the sky”

Uses vivid sensory imagery to evoke the dizzying, hallucinatory state caused by intense intoxication.

Verbal Irony

“I m sober now / No thats a lie”

The speaker briefly claims to be sober, immediately contradicting it to emphasize how deeply intoxicated they actually are.
