The song "Whiskey" by Guttermouth is about a person who is tired of a toxic relationship or situation and decides to prioritize themselves and their own happiness. The lyrics suggest that the person feels misunderstood and that their desires and needs are not being acknowledged or respected by the other person. The repeated phrase "Do you know what I want? No, I really don't think you know what I want" conveys a sense of frustration and the need for the other person to understand their desires, but it is clear that they are not being understood. The lyrics also mention the idea of drinking as a way to escape and distance oneself from the situation. It seems that the person wants to "get away from everything" and find solace in spending time with friends and having a drink. Overall, the song conveys a sense of empowerment and the decision to prioritize oneself and break free from a negative situation. It expresses the desire to assert independence and escape the toxicity of the relationship or situation.
