Finding Identity in the Shadows of Medication
Lyrics
I gotta get up but i can't get by
I feel the need to get up, but I'm struggling to move forward.
stuck with the feeling
Feeling trapped or stagnant.
i'm just a waste of time
Expressing a sense of worthlessness or being unproductive.
can't catch my breath
Having difficulty breathing, possibly indicating stress or anxiety.
and i can't seem to get a hold
Unable to gain control or stability.
Yea I can’t seem to let it go
Struggling to let go of something causing distress.
But am I just my medicine
Questioning whether the speaker's identity is defined by medication.
will i ever get back again
Wondering if there's a possibility of returning to a previous state without reliance on medication.
to a person on my own
Desire to return to a self-reliant state.
to sitting on my own throne
Expressing a desire for personal sovereignty.
feels like i am fading
Feeling a sense of fading or losing oneself.
devastating and losing control
Experiencing devastation and a loss of control.
but i can't seem to catch my breath
Continued difficulty in breathing, possibly emphasizing emotional struggle.
no i can't seem to get some help
Seeking assistance but unable to find it.
But am i just my medicine
Reiterating the question of whether medication defines the speaker.
will i ever get back again
Revisiting the hope of returning to a medication-free state.
to a person on my own
Desiring a return to self-reliance and personal identity.
to sitting on my own throne
Expressing a desire for independence and personal authority.
can't live without them
Dependency on medication for survival.
can't seem to function on my own
Unable to function without medication.
so am i just my medicine or something more
Questioning whether the speaker is solely defined by medication or if there's more to their identity.
And I can't help but wonder
Contemplating the possibility of personal growth.
Is there something more to grow
Questioning if there's more to life than the current situation.
Is there something more to hold
Wondering if there's more emotional depth or fulfillment to experience.
So am I I just my medicine
Revisiting the question of whether medication defines the speaker.
Will I ever get back again
Reiterating the hope of returning to a medication-free state.
To a person on my own
Desiring a return to self-reliance and personal identity.
Sitting on my own throne
Expressing a desire for independence and personal authority.
I'm I just my
Pondering whether the speaker is merely defined by their medication.
Am I just my
Repeating the question of whether the speaker is solely defined by their medication.
Medicine
The speaker considers medication as a significant aspect of their identity.
