Morgan Wallen’s “Whiskey Glasses” Lyrics Meaning
“Whiskey Glasses” by American singer Morgan Wallen is centered on the singer trying to mitigate the pain of a freshly-broken heart with some good ol’ fashioned whiskey. He finds himself is in such inner turmoil that he wants to get so inebriated he forgets about his ex. Indeed the whole situation seems to have sucked the joy out of his soul. And his mind is plagued with thoughts such as his ex “probably making out on the couch right now” with some other dude.
“I’ma need some whiskey glasses
‘Cause I don’t wanna see the truth
She’s probably making out on the couch right now
With someone new”
In the second verse, we see that he has apparently reached his goal of getting quite boozed, as he has to basically beg the bartender into giving him another drink. However, his heartbreak is still present. And he has concluded that the only way to get over this debilitating emotion is by ‘knocking back’ as many glasses of whiskey as he possibly can. Indeed looking at the world through the perspective of a whiskey glass is the only way his mind doesn’t get preoccupied with thoughts of his ex.

Anonymous, you’re right but so is the guy you replied to. The lyrics are very creative and use a lot of double entendres. He uses “whiskey glasses” in the literal sense and the figurative sense that the other fellow mentioned. Other double entendres include “pour me” vs “poor me,” in the opening line and “last call” in the figurative sense of “last call for drinks” vs the literal “last call I’ll make to you.” Many other poetic jewels in this pop country masterpiece.
Joe and Anonymous are both correct. Morgan Wallen’s lyrics in this song are full of double entendres and plays on words, including the song’s title. “Whiskey glasses” refers to the literal glasses of whiskey he’ll need to drink to forget about her and refers to seeing the world through the lenses of whiskey glasses. See also the proverbial “beer goggles” that result in some late-night hook-ups that otherwise would not have happened. The opening line of the song has “poor me” vs “pour me.” It sounds likes he’s taking pity on himself and saying “poor me,” but then he follows up with “pour me another round.” He does the same thing with “last call,” but in reverse. You assume he’s referring to the last call for alcohol at a bar, but then he follows it up with saying it will the last call that he’s going to make to her. The lyrics have other clever plays on words, such as “so I don’t drink of you” instead of “think of you.” The song is a pop country masterpiece.
