Navigating Love's Depths: We Were Promised Jetpacks' 'Medicine' Meaning
Lyrics
Where are you going with the long face pulling down
Expressing curiosity about the destination of someone with a sad expression.
Don't hide away like an ocean
Advising not to withdraw emotionally or isolate oneself.
But you can see, but you can smell
Highlighting the senses of sight and smell, suggesting a deep connection to the person.
And the sound of your waves coming down
Referring to the person's emotional impact, akin to the waves of an ocean.
I am no superman not at all
Denying superhero status but acknowledging limitations.
But I have no answers for you
Expressing inability to provide solutions or answers.
I am no hero, and that's for sure
Rejecting the label of a hero.
But I do know one thing
Claiming knowledge about a specific thing despite other limitations.
Where you go, is where I want to be
Desiring to be where the person is heading.
Where are you going, where do you go?
Pose a question about the person's destination.
Are you looking for answers
Asking if the person is searching for answers.
For reasons under the stars
Wondering if the person seeks reasons beneath the celestial bodies.
If along the way, you are growing weary
Offering support if the person feels tired or burdened.
You can rest with me until a brighter day
Encouraging rest until a better time arrives.
I am no superman, that's for sure
Reiterating the lack of superhero qualities.
And I have no answers, yeah
Affirming the absence of answers.
I am no hero, oh don't you know
Rejecting the hero role again.
But I do know one thing
Asserting knowledge about a particular aspect despite other limitations.
Where you are is where I belong
Feeling a sense of belonging where the person currently is.
Where you go, I do know, is where I belong
Reiterating the desire to be where the person is heading.
Where are you going, with your beautiful face
Asking about the destination while complimenting the person's appearance.
Looking down, don't hide away
Encouraging not to hide and withdraw.
You are like an ocean that I can't see
Comparing the person to an unseen but sensed ocean.
But I can smell and the sound
Highlighting the connection through smell and sound.
Of your waves coming down
Repeating the metaphor of the person's emotional impact as waves.
I am no superman, that's for sure
Reiterating the absence of superhero qualities.
I have no answers for you, I am no hero, oh not at all
Acknowledging the inability to provide answers or heroism.
I do know one thing, where you are is where I belong
Reaffirming a sense of belonging with the person.
Where you are is where I want to be
Expressing the desire to be where the person currently is.
