Medicine
Finding Balance: Unveiling the Emotional Journey in Patrick Wilson's 'Medicine'
Lyrics
Maybe I’ll hide away
Contemplating withdrawal or isolation
Maybe I’ll lock the door
Considering locking oneself away
Tear up the carpet and dig through the floor
Expressing a desire to disrupt one's surroundings
Bury my head in dirt
Metaphorically escaping reality by burying oneself
I’m busy now
Indicating busyness or preoccupation
Come back later when I’m sober
Suggesting a need for solitude until sober
I’m holding onto the doorway
Symbolizing holding onto stability or control
I lose my grip, I slip
Struggling to maintain control, experiencing a slip
Medicine, Medicine
Repetition of "Medicine" as a possible solution
I’ve been thinking for a while
Reflecting on the need for a solution
To keep my smile
Desiring to maintain a positive facade
I need to see my light sway and flicker
Seeking comfort in the fluctuation of one's inner light
Can I get it any quicker?
Expressing impatience in obtaining relief
I’m halfway there
Feeling halfway towards a resolution
I just need a little more
Expressing the need for a little more help
One more hit then I’ll stop
Committing to one more attempt before stopping
I want what I came for
Desire to achieve the initial goal
Medicine, Medicine
Repetition of "Medicine" emphasizing its importance
Medicine, Medicine
-All I need is one little high
Expressing the need for a small boost or escape
One little drop
Desiring a brief, positive experience
One little low
Acknowledging the possibility of a subsequent low
Then I’ll even out
Expecting to stabilize after the experience
Medicine, Medicine
Reiteration of "Medicine" as a repeated theme
Medicine, Medicine
