High On The Medicine
Lost in Medicine: A Youth's Battle with Demons
Lyrics
Pass a bottle to the kid in the back seat
Passing a bottle to someone in the back seat, potentially indicating a shared experience or coping mechanism.
Another day out of control
Expressing a feeling of being out of control in life.
Off the benzos, blown to oblivion
Being under the influence of benzodiazepines and feeling detached or unaware.
Fade away and you can't say shit to me
Fading away emotionally, becoming indifferent to others' opinions.
Cuz I'm young and I'm high on the medicine
Embracing a youthful and carefree attitude while being influenced by substances.
A disease, I got it bad
Acknowledging a personal struggle or challenge described as a "disease."
Kinda thought life would be a little easier
Expressing disappointment that life isn't as easy as expected.
Mama told me, mama never told me
Reflecting on the lack of guidance or warnings from a mother figure.
Took the red pill, and I'm dead still
Taking a metaphorical "red pill" and facing consequences or challenges.
That salt amphetamine
Referencing the use of amphetamines, possibly highlighting the destructive nature of substance abuse.
It's a pipe dream
Referring to an unrealistic or unattainable dream.
I did it all when I was too young to fuck with it
Engaging in risky behaviors at a young age and dealing with the aftermath.
And now I'm stuck with it
Feeling trapped or burdened by past actions and experiences.
I came back home
Returning home, but the familiarity is lost or changed.
But it didn't feel like home
Expressing a sense of displacement and discomfort upon returning home.
I came back home
Reiterating the theme of returning home with a lack of connection.
But it didn't feel like home
Continuing the sentiment that home doesn't feel like home anymore.
Life's a movie, you can't rewind it
Viewing life as irreversible, emphasizing the inability to change the past.
I'm too afraid to play it back
Feeling apprehensive about revisiting past experiences or memories.
Dirty mirror, my reflection
Looking at oneself in a "dirty mirror" and questioning the right path in life.
What's the right way? Tell me, what's the right way?
Pondering the correct direction in life and seeking guidance.
Dirty tissues, trust issues
Dealing with emotional baggage and struggling with trust issues.
Scars no one can even see
Highlighting inner scars that are not visible to others.
Mind erasing, dragon chasing
Engaging in activities to erase or distract from troubling thoughts.
Rolling loose leaf, don't nobody talk to me
Isolating oneself, with a sense of detachment from others.
Are you a friend when it's all ending?
Questioning the authenticity of friendships during difficult times.
Without you I would be dead
Expressing gratitude for someone's support in preventing a negative outcome.
Mom and Dad said, "You're gonna make it"
Parents encouraging success, but the achieved success brings its own challenges.
But I made it and I can't take it
Feeling overwhelmed despite achieving success as predicted by parents.
If I take you home
Possibly seeking comfort or a sense of belonging by taking someone home.
Can you make it feel like home?
Questioning whether a romantic connection can provide a feeling of home.
If I take you home
Continuing the theme of seeking a sense of home through a romantic relationship.
Will you make it feel like home?

What's the right way? Tell me, what's the right way?
