The lyrics to the song Marvelous Pills by Misstrip are quite dark and speak about the pressure and stress that one can experience in life. The line 'worn out, under pressure, explosive, don't you run... down, down, down?' seems to describe someone who is at their breaking point, struggling to keep it together. They feel like they are constantly being pushed and pulled in different directions and are on the verge of collapsing. The use of the word 'explosive' adds to the intensity of the emotions being experienced.
The next set of lyrics 'suffering, acute depression, excessive, aren't you running... down, down, down?' continue this theme of struggle, but also touch on mental health issues. The person is experiencing acute depression, which is becoming excessive, and they are struggling to cope. The repetition of 'down, down, down' seems to signify a downward spiral that is taking place.
The final set of lyrics 'doctor, I am under pressure, come on give me one of your marvellous pills' suggest that the person is seeking help, but perhaps not in the best way. They are turning to medication in hopes of finding relief from their problems. These lyrics highlight the importance of seeking help for mental health issues, but also the potential dangers of relying solely on medication as a solution.
