Explicit language, alcohol use, self-destructive behavior
Detailed Analysis
These lyrics from Lit's 'My Own Worst Enemy' deal with the aftermath of heavy drinking, including blackout behavior, relationship conflict, and self-destructive tendencies. There is one instance of explicit language ('kick the living shit out of me'), direct references to alcohol intoxication and drunk behavior, a cigarette/smoking reference, and themes of self-harm in a metaphorical sense. The song depicts a chaotic, alcohol-fueled night with relationship fallout. While there is no sexual content, the mature themes of alcoholism, self-destructive behavior, and relationship damage make this more suitable for teenagers and older. The explicit language, though mild in frequency, pushes this beyond all-ages content.

Lyrics
Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk? I didn't mean to call you that I can't remember what was said, or what you threw at me Please tell me Please tell me why My car is in the front yard And I'm sleeping with my clothes on I came in through the window last night And you're long gone, gone It's no surprise to me, I am my own worst enemy 'Cause every now and then, I kick the living shit out of me The smoke alarm is going off, and there's a cigarette Still burning Please tell me why My car is in the front yard And I'm sleeping with my clothes on I came in through the window last night And you're long gone, gone Please tell me why My car is in the front yard And I'm sleeping with my clothes on I came in through the window last night (Ah-ooh) it's no surprise to me, I am my own worst enemy (Ah-ooh) 'cause every now and then, I kick the living shit out of me (Ah-ooh) can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk? (Ah-ooh) I didn't mean to call you that
