The song "Sativa and Booze" by Elijah Blake expresses his frustration and longing for a past love. The lyrics suggest that the two of them have grown apart, no longer talking like they used to. The reference to "pulling up" on the person in the Bay and them never contacting him when in LA indicates a lack of effort from the other person. The lyrics also mention a potential change in the person's contact information, making it difficult for them to maintain communication. Blake questions whether there is a new man in the picture, as it seems like someone is always laying next to them whenever he tries to reach out. He asks for honesty and for the person to speak up if he needs to ease up on his expectations. Blake expresses his frustration with the current state of popular music, which often focuses on drugs rather than love. He mentions his tiredness of the drugs, specifically mentioning sativa and booze, and states that he would rather sing about the person he misses. The lyrics reveal that the person occasionally visits Blake's city, but fails to communicate with him or acknowledge their past relationship. Despite their initial promise to try and stay in touch, the person seems to have changed and switched up on their previous agreement. Blake wonders if he is asking for too much by wanting periodic check-ins and questions if their friendship is still good. He also mentions having a good relationship with the person's father and how he always tries to bring up their past connection. Overall, "Sativa and Booze" conveys the frustration of a one-sided relationship and the desire for the person he sings about to acknowledge their past and make an effort to maintain their connection.
