Medicine Man
Arrange Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am a medicine man
Bring me your colors and I'll fix them for you
When in the ground you said ย“I'm Sorryย”
Ripped into pieces
I am not okay with this she says

Your hands are on my thighs again
Do I posses the strength
To tear off half your face
Before you do me in

I'm not a medicine man




Don't bring me your colors just to fix them
When in the ground you said you're sorry

Overall Meaning

The song "Medicine Man" by Arrange discusses the struggles and vulnerability in a relationship. The singer takes on the role of a medicine man who can fix anything, including broken relationships. However, the singer emphasizes that they are not a miracle worker; they cannot fix just anything. The lyrics "Don't bring me your colors just to fix them" indicate that sometimes people need to work on themselves before they can bring their issues to others for help.


The second half of the song takes a darker turn as the lyrics suggest that the relationship has turned violent. The line "Your hands are on my thighs again" implies that the singer is being touched without consent. The phrase "Do I possess the strength to tear off half your face" suggests that the singer is considering fighting back against the abuser, but is also struggling with the power dynamic of the situation. The final lines of the song "I'm not a medicine man/don't bring me your colors just to fix them/when in the ground you said you're sorry" suggest that the relationship ultimately failed, despite the singer's attempts to fix it.

The only time this song ever fit Vile was when the girl's throat was slashed, and her boyfriend was watching her die. That was the only sad part in the whole film.

bobos245 when they held back on the pregnant one. When the black dude held back from smashing her collar and took it three times to spare her. I sobbed.

"Vile" was great, you can see how human nature comes into play when people are put in a certain situation especially the one that endangers your life, people start acting in ways they never thought they could
