Medicine
(Sound Remedy Remix) Daughter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And start again
You've got a second chance
You could go home
Escape it all
It's just irrelevant
It's just medicine
You could still be
What you want to
What you said you were
When I met you
You've got a warm heart
You've got a beautiful brain
But it's disintegrating
From all the medicine
From all the medicine
From all the medicine
Medicine
You could still be
What you want to be
What you said you were
When you met me
You could still be
What you want to
What you said you were
When I met you
When you met me
When I met you
The lyrics to "Medicine" by Daughter, in the Sound Remedy Remix, explore the concept of starting over and finding hope in the midst of struggle. The song opens with the lines "Pick it up, pick it all up, and start again," communicating a sense of renewal and the opportunity to break free from whatever has been holding the listener back. This idea is reinforced with the suggestion to "go home" and "escape it all," indicating a desire to leave behind one's current circumstances.
Throughout the song, the theme of "medicine" recurs, with the repeated refrain of "It's just medicine." This could refer to medications taken for physical or mental health issues that may have caused the disintegration of the listener's "beautiful brain." Alternatively, it could refer to the idea of starting anew as a form of medicine for the soul, a way to heal from past hurts and struggles.
Despite the challenges faced by the listener, the chorus insists that they "could still be what you want to be, what you said you were when I met you." The song recognizes the listener's strengths and potential, emphasizing their "warm heart" and "beautiful brain." Ultimately, the message of "Medicine" is one of encouragement, reminding the listener that they have the power to take control of their life and become the person they want to be.
