Interpretation
In the lyrics of the song 'Off My Face' by
Justin Bieber, it's about an intense love for a person who completely throws you off track. The singer describes how he is literally intoxicated by this person and is in a state where he loses his clear mind.
With the lines 'One touch and you got me stoned, Higher than I've ever known', Bieber describes how just one touch from this person is enough to put him in a state of euphoria. He feels 'higher than ever'. The person has control over him and he follows them unconditionally.
The singer also describes how he loses track of time in the presence of this person. It's already sunrise, but the night still feels young. There are no words, but they communicate on another level. However, Bieber realizes that he has to be careful not to say too much, because he is so influenced by this person.
The chorus 'Cause I'm off my face, in love with you, I'm out my head, so into you' makes it clear that he has lost his clear mind due to the love he feels for this person and has completely embraced them in his heart. He is so absorbed by them that he can no longer think clearly. The love for them has completely ruined him.
However, there is also a certain dependency in the relationship, as seen in the lines 'Can't sleep 'cause I'm way too buzzed, Too late, now you're in my blood'. He can't sleep because he is too excited and the person is already in his blood. However, he doesn't mind that they keep him awake all night.
The lyrics convey the message that the love for this person has completely thrown the singer off track and he is in a state where he can no longer think clearly. However, he is so fascinated and absorbed by them that he can't help but fall in love, even if it affects him emotionally and mentally.
