12. Hollywood Undead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain’t got the patience, I need my medication
I need to crawl out, out of this hole now
Before the darkness grabs a hold and takes my soul now
And it just goes on and on and on
On and on and on
Better get me my medicine
Now it’s five o’clock, on the phone again
Think I might need another prescription
Call the doc, I must be sick
Better get me my medicine
Now it’s five o’clock, on the phone again
I think I might need another prescription
Oh Holy Ghost, is this a vision?
I’ve got 1, 2, 3 admissions
I’m getting sick cause superstition
I need a dose, man fuck the fixing
Mama what’d you feed the children?
Pills in milk and nothing to mix em in
Who needs the milk man
I got the Trix and
Another refill ain’t gonna fix em
And it just goes on and on and on
On and on and on
Another refill ain’t gonna fix em
Call the doc, I must be sick
Better get me my medicine
Now it’s five o’clock, on the phone again
Think I might need another prescription
Call the doc, I must be sick
Better get me my medicine
Now it’s five o’clock, on the phone again
I think I might need another prescription
Oh no, no, I can’t fight it
Even when I hate it, I still wanna like it
Oh no, no, I can’t hide it
I ain’t got a dollar but I still try to buy it
Oh no, no, I can’t fight it
Even when I hate it, I still wanna like it
Oh no, no, I can’t hide it
I know you don’t know me but I know you supply it
Call the doc, I must be sick
Bitch get me my medicine
Now it’s five o’clock, on the phone again
Think I might need another prescription
Call the doc, I must be sick
Voices in my head again
Now it’s five o’clock, on the phone again
Call the doc, I must be sick
Better get me my medicine
Now it’s five o’clock, on the phone again
Think I might need another prescription
Call the doc, I must be sick
Better get me my medicine
Now it’s five o’clock, on the phone again
I think I might need another prescription
So call the doc, I must be sick
I’m so sick
I think I might need another prescription
Yeah call the doc, I must be sick
I’m so sick
I think I might need another prescription
The lyrics of "Medicine" by Hollywood Undead convey a sense of desperation and dependence on medication. The opening lines, "Oh no, how'd I sink so low? / Ain't got the patience, I need my medication" suggest that the singer has hit rock bottom and can't function without their medication. However, their dependence on medication seems to be causing more harm than good as they express their need to "crawl out, out of this hole now / Before the darkness grabs a hold and takes my soul now." The repetition of "on and on and on" emphasizes how the cycle of dependence and desperation continues.
The second verse suggests a lack of trust in the medical profession, as the singer asks "Mama what’d you feed the children? / Pills in milk and nothing to mix em in / Who needs the milk man / I got the Trix and / Another refill ain't gonna fix em." This attitude is further emphasized in the chorus, where the singer refers to the doctor as "Bitch" and demands their medication.
Overall, the lyrics of "Medicine" paint a picture of someone trapped in a cycle of dependence and desperation, uncertain of how to break free.
