Since i was forteen
I've been chasing for my life
And been chasing for my dreams
Wishing you were stuck right next to me
Like you used to do
But now you don't remember
Who i even am to you
And now im picking up the pieces
One by one
Holding way to many
For you love
Keeping it together
Month by month
Hoping you'll remember what we've done
Cause even though you're there
And you're smiling too
Knowing deep down
You don't remember you
Even grandad is down
And he loves you dear
Even though you dont remeber
You shed a tear
It's just medicine
Pick it up
Pick it up
Pick it up, up
Pick it up, up
I wish there was a pill
Or medicine
That would take you back to normal
To talk again
I would say how much i love you
And all you did
All you did
For all the kids
The last thing i said
Before you left
Was wherever you are
I'll meet you there
Soon enough
Even though its tough
I'll live my best life
So your proud of us
You said to me with a shining glare
Do your best at music and i'll see you there
Where your dreams are met
And i'll see below
Though i'm not there
I love you so
It's just medicine
Pick it up
Pick it up
Pick it up, up
Pick it up, up
Baden's song "Medicine" is a heartfelt tribute to a loved one who is battling with memory loss. The lyrics convey the sadness and pain that the singer feels in watching someone they care for deeply slip away before their very eyes. The opening lines, "Ever since I haven't seen you / Since I was fourteen / I've been chasing for my life / And been chasing for my dreams," show the passage of time that has gone by and the regret that comes with missing out on memories they could have shared together. The singer wishes that their loved one was "stuck right next to" them like they used to be, but it's clear that their loved one's memory loss has created a barrier between them.
The chorus of the song, "It's just medicine / Pick it up / Pick it up / Pick it up, up / Pick it up, up," seems to imply that the singer is trying to pick up the pieces and move forward despite the pain they feel. The second verse talks about the difficult process of grieving and holding onto memories when their loved one is still alive but doesn't remember them. Even the singer's grandfather is affected by the memory loss, and it's heart-wrenching to see someone they care about so deeply struggle.
The final verse seems to be a message of hope and a promise to continue living their life to the fullest, even though it's difficult without their loved one by their side. The singer remembers their loved one encouraging them to pursue their dreams, and they want to honor that memory by striving to be their best selves. Overall, "Medicine" is a poignant and moving tribute to love and loss, and it's a testament to the power of music to help us express and process difficult emotions.
Line by Line Meaning
Ever since i haven't seen you
Since the time I lost sight of you
Since i was forteen
When I was fourteen years old
I've been chasing for my life
I've been chasing after you incessantly
And been chasing for my dreams
And pursuing my dreams with the same fervor
Wishing you were stuck right next to me
Desiring you to be by my side always
Like you used to do
The way you did earlier
But now you don't remember
But now you don't recollect anything
Who i even am to you
Nor do you remember me anymore
And now im picking up the pieces
Now, I'm piecing together my life
One by one
Gradually, slowly
Holding way to many
Holding many memories with you
For you love
Of the love that we shared
Keeping it together
Holding on to it firmly
Month by month
With every passing month
Hoping you'll remember what we've done
Anticipating that you remember what we did together
Cause even though you're there
As you are with me now
And you're smiling too
And you're even smiling
Knowing deep down
But deep down you know
You don't remember you
That you don't remember yourself
Even grandad is down
Even Grandad is distressed
And he loves you dear
And he cares about you deeply
Even though you dont remeber
Even if you cannot recollect anything
You shed a tear
You still shed tears
It's just medicine
This is just like medicine
Pick it up
Take it up, pick it up
Pick it up, up
Take it up high
Pick it up, up
Take it up high again
I wish there was a pill
I desire a medicine
Or medicine
Or just any medicine
That would take you back to normal
That restores you to normal
To talk again
To have a conversation with you
I would say how much i love you
I will express how much I love you
And all you did
And all that you did for me
All you did
All that you did for me and everyone else
For all the kids
For the sake of all children
The last thing i said
The very last thing I said
Before you left
Just before you departed
Was wherever you are
Wherever you are
I'll meet you there
I will come there to meet you
Soon enough
Very soon
Even though its tough
Although it is very hard
I'll live my best life
I will lead a life of excellence
So your proud of us
So that you can be proud of us
You said to me with a shining glare
You told me with a radiant smile
Do your best at music and i'll see you there
Give your utmost in music, and I'll meet you there
Where your dreams are met
Where your aspirations materialize
And i'll see below
And I will keep an eye on things here
Though i'm not there
Although I am not physically present
I love you so
I love you deeply
