Olympus Song Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'd still kill for you
I'd die to spend the night at your belonging
All my friends think that I've lost it
Up at Olympus, miss your house
Still sounds like birds and smells like vodka
You're always off your rocker
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna save myself, you're part of my addiction
I just keep you in the kitchen while I burn
[Chorus]
Burn, burn
Burn, burn
[Verse 2]
Can't get through winter
At your house, sweat out the drugs all through the summer
Let my heart sleep in the gutter (Oh, oh, oh)
Wish I remember when we kissed but now it's faded
'Cause I always just replayed it till it left (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna save myself, you'rе part of my addiction
I just keep you in the kitchen while I burn
[Chorus]
Burn, burn
Burn, burn
[Bridge]
Baby, wanna еrase this
You're not shameless
I'm afraid of your description
That I'm fitting when I'm faded
I'm alone when I live at your house
When I slip, I live at your house
Getting the bends and I'm scared of it now
Hate myself 'cause I always black out
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna save myself, you're part of my addiction
I just keep you in the kitchen (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Outro]
While I burn
Burn, burn
While I burn
Burn, burn
While I burn
Burn, burn
While I burn
Burn, burn

Annotations and Meaning:
"Olympus" by Blondshell from the 'Invincible (TV Series)' Soundtrack is one of the deeply emotive numbers plunging into subjects like addiction, toxic love, and the struggle with self-preservation. She articulates vivid pictures and metaphorical language in the text of the song to point out how complex this relationship might be—devouring yet intoxicating.
The opening lines—"I'd still kill for you / I'd die to spend the night at your belonging"—come as close as possible to underlining this intensity and thus must constitute the most dangerous element for the singer. The level of devotion to the letter speaks toward a love that crosses the border of passion and exudes obsession, illustrating one who will do anything regardless of the consequences for the object of their affection.
The reference to "Olympus" symbolized a place of grandness and perfection that could not be achieved or attained, comparing the home of the beloved with the gods. However, this very much ideal picture starts to lose its gloss the moment the poet is describing mess and substance abuse: "Still sounds like birds and smells like vodka / You’re always off your rocker", which makes a sharp contradiction between an ideal version of love and many times its messiness.
The following quotation represents the inner idea faced by the words of the pre-chorus "I wanna save myself, you're part of my addiction / I just keep you in the kitchen while I burn. The will to self-preserve fights with the added addictive nature of their love, representing the relationship as a destructive force on its own that consumes them.
The repetition of "Burn" in the chorus is a great metaphor for the self-destructive nature and emotional turmoil within this toxic relationship. It means how much they are willing to love, which is everything, as well as the downhill spiral.
The song's bridge exposes a moment of self-awareness and regret: "I'm afraid of your description / That I'm fitting when I'm faded / I'm alone when I live at your house. This realization identifies, in the speaker, the anxiousness of what the beloved might have thought of them, particularly at the time of the weakest. This then would disclose a void and disconnection—both instances being the most common in toxic relationships—from beside his partner.
