Medicine
Anth Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Call off the flashing blue lights
I'm here for you
If you let me in
I'll be your medicine
I know the memories beat you black and blue
I'll fix everything
I know I can cure you
And be your medicine

It's complicated
Two people picture perfect depending on how you paint it
It's crazy how much I love you and how much I can hate it
You left a permanent mark on my heart, I can't erase it
The only one who can break it and knows how to replace it
And still I take it
That's how I know I'm crazy
That's why I'm kicking the door and you're screaming out you hate me
But this is how you made me
And it's too late to change me
Who is the man in the mirror? Don't recognize him lately
You say you're leaving while I'm screaming through the wall
If it's easy just to leave me, what the hell you waiting for?
Let's be honest, we'd be better if we never met at all
Cus it's clear to see that you and me were broken from the start
Call off the flashing blue lights
I'm here for you
If you let me in
I'll be your medicine
I know the memories beat you black and blue
I'll fix everything
I know I can cure you
And be your medicine
All the shit that I'm saying is not me
But you bring the devil right out me
Guess you could be better without me
I got home around three
Then you scream
"Why'd you get back so late?
When you said you'd be home by eight
When you promised you'd make a change
All these years and you're still the same"
"Oh, you think that I'm still the same?
After everything I became?
Only thing you're good for is complaining
You fucking bitch, you're insane"
"Wait, what the fuck did you call me?
Don't walk away, don't ignore me"
And then we say these words that can't be taken back with a sorry
'Til I can't take it no more
My bags are packed by the door
But it don't matter where I go
I know I'll always be yours
Call off the flashing blue lights
I'm here for you
If you let me in
I'll be your medicine
I know the memories beat you black and blue
I'll fix everything
I know I can cure you
And be your medicine
I know I can cure you
And be your medicine
I know I can cure you
And be your medicine
So, let me take away the pain
Don't worry, it'll be okay
I promise that I'm gonna stay
And take us back to yesterday
So, let me take away the pain
Don't worry, it'll be okay
I promise that I'm gonna stay
I know I can cure you
And be your medicine

I know I can cure you
And be your medicine

It's complicated
Our relationship is complex and difficult

Two people picture perfect depending on how you paint it
From the outside, we may appear perfect as a couple, but looks can be deceiving

It's crazy how much I love you and how much I can hate it
My love for you is intense, but it can also be overwhelming

You left a permanent mark on my heart, I can't erase it
You have had a significant impact on my life and I cannot forget you

The only one who can break it and knows how to replace it
Only you have the power to break my heart, and you are the only one who knows how to mend it

And still I take it
I am willing to endure the pain because I am still in love with you

That's how I know I'm crazy
My irrational love for you proves that I am insane

That's why I'm kicking the door and you're screaming out you hate me
Our love has turned into a volatile and hostile relationship

But this is how you made me
The way I am acting is a result of how you have treated me

And it's too late to change me
I am who I am, and you cannot change me

Who is the man in the mirror? Don't recognize him lately
I am questioning my identity and who I have become because of our relationship

You say you're leaving while I'm screaming through the wall
Our arguments have become so intense that we are screaming at each other through walls

If it's easy just to leave me, what the hell you waiting for?
If you want to leave me, then why haven't you already done so?

Let's be honest, we'd be better if we never met at all
Our lives would be better off without each other

All the shit that I'm saying is not me
I am not my usual self given the arguments and tension in our relationship

But you bring the devil right out me
You have the power to bring out the worst in me

Guess you could be better without me
Perhaps your life would be better if I was not a part of it

I got home around three
I came home late that night

Then you scream
You started yelling at me

"Why'd you get back so late?
You asked me why I came home so late

When you said you'd be home by eight
I had promised to come home by eight

When you promised you'd make a change
You had promised to change our situation

All these years and you're still the same"
You feel that I have not changed despite our promises to each other

"Oh, you think that I'm still the same?
I am offended by your comments

After everything I became?
I have changed and grown as a person despite what you believe

Only thing you're good for is complaining
You seem to only complain about me rather than appreciate me

You fucking bitch, you're insane"
I am angry and resorting to insulting you

"Wait, what the fuck did you call me?
You are offended by my insults

Don't walk away, don't ignore me
I want you to stay and listen to me

And then we say these words that can't be taken back with a sorry
Our arguments lead to words that we cannot easily take back, even with an apology

'Til I can't take it no more
Our relationship has become too difficult for me to handle

My bags are packed by the door
I have decided to leave you

But it don't matter where I go
Leaving will not change my feelings for you

I know I'll always be yours
My love for you is enduring

So, let me take away the pain
I want to help heal your pain

Don't worry, it'll be okay
I want to reassure you that things will get better

I promise that I'm gonna stay
I am committed to our relationship

And take us back to yesterday
I want to go back to the happier times in our relationship

I know I can cure you
I am confident that I can heal all of your pain and wounds

And be your medicine
I want to be the source of your healing and happiness

Not many people know this, but I actually come from a very broken home. All my life, I saw my parents fight, scream, cry, break things, sleep in different rooms, leave for months at a time, and I never understood it as a child. I used to see all of my friends with happy parents and see the love that they shared and I remember wishing my parents could one day be that way. Once I grew up, I was old enough to understand that my mother and father were completely toxic for one another. It wasn’t until I reached my adult life that they finally divorced after 40 years. I often wonder, had they realized sooner that they were too toxic for one another, could they have spared myself and my brothers and sisters a lot of pain. The music video for my new single #Medicine depicts two couples that should’ve made the same realization before it was too late 🖤

To be honest Anth so have I. I watched my mother beat hiding my sister and brother away so they didnt see it. I tried saving her and pushing him away. He slammed my head into my knee and knocked my front teeth out. It sucks and traumatized me as a child and now as a father I plan to have my child never see that. Ive been with my wife for 7 years now and I plan to make it forever. I plan to have my children never know that pain.

@jpgonly7034

How come a MARRIAGE as a social institution still exists??? I bet 99% of all marriages sooner or later will end up just like this! If you will dig into this problem you may end up with an idea that you don't actually need anybody in order to be happy. I wonder do a LGBT's couples have the same percentage of fucked-up relations!? I might be wrong, but I assume that is much much less then in F+M ones.

This isn't true, one of these parents feels stuck and scared if they leave then it will make things worse, I know because I was one of them parents. You also dont realise how much it effects your children when you think they are asleep and your arguing. Dont brand us parents that was in a domestic relationship as selfish. I woke up and realised I need to do something for my kids because me and their dad was a bad combo he couldn't face he had everything he needed in reality but thought he could get it all through fantasy.

This song touched me in a very personal and deep way. As someone who came from a broken home where I was forced to watch my mother and father fight, abuse, substance abuse, and feeling obligated to fight for my mother... This song captured the trauma and pain that i still to this day carry with me. Watching my mother try to find love in the wrong people after my father left which lead to so much fighting, screaming, tears, and what felt like hell every day. Some days i just wanted to run away and hide. I had a little fort when I was 13 across the street in a small bamboo out cropping. It felt huge to me, a jungle. I got lost in there for hours. Hiding and hoping when I went home (after I ran out of peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches) everything would be better. I cried so many nights to God asking him to save my mom and me from the constant pain. Growing up in such a toxic and draining environment can be so impactful for the rest of your life. So many people suffer from this. Thank you so much for making this song! I hope someone out there who i dealing with this or even themselves partaking in this can hear this song and it will open their eyes and bring them some peace. Thank you so much for sharing your talent in such a personal and impactful way. Also, Thank you for sharing your story. That is often hard to do. Mad respect! You have a fan for life now!

Watching this while remembering the abusive, toxic marriage that I just escaped from. I can still hear the screams in my head from her rages. Such a powerful song and video!
