Superstition
Blanche Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If we can't trust the doctors,
And our prayers have fallen flat,
And the 14 pills she takes each day
Won't hold the sickness back

Another room to wait in,
Another test to see,
If everything we've dreamed about

Will never come to be

I know that it's bad luck to be superstitious,
But nothing else is working,
And my head is really hurting,
And I'm sick of all this worrying
About things I can't control

Life once again is carefree,
Where we tip-toed, now we waltz,
Past the black cats and the mirrors we cracked
Without our fingers crossed

The days are slow and easy
The nights feel so serene,
But I blink my eyes and realize,
That feeling was a dream,
Just a cruel dream

I know that it's bad luck to be superstitious,
But nothing else is working,
And my heart is really hurting,
And I'm sick of all this worrying

About things I can't control,
These things I can't control

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blanche's song "Superstition" portray a sense of hopelessness and despair, as well as a struggle to find relief from physical and emotional pain. The singer seems to have tried everything to no avail, from trusting the doctors and taking 14 pills a day to praying, but nothing seems to work. The line "If everything we've dreamed about will never come to be" shows a disappointment and frustration with the possibility that all the hope and anticipation for healing may never come to fruition.

The chorus repeats the line "I know that it's bad luck to be superstitious, but nothing else is working," emphasizing that the singer has been left with no other options but to embrace superstition. This speaks to a larger theme of desperation and the lengths that people will go to in order to find relief from pain and suffering, even if it means turning to something that they may not truly believe in.

The second verse takes the listener on a journey through an imaginary world where life is "carefree" but ultimately proves to be just a dream. This further reinforces the sense of disappointment and disillusionment that the singer feels.

Overall, "Superstition" is a poignant and relatable song that captures the human experience of struggling with physical and emotional pain, and the desperation to find relief.

Line by Line Meaning

If we can't trust the doctors,
When the doctors fail us,

And our prayers have fallen flat,
And even our prayers are unanswered,

And the 14 pills she takes each day
And the many pills taken each day

Won't hold the sickness back
Cannot cure the sickness

Another room to wait in,
We go from room to room,

Another test to see,
Taking test after test

If everything we've dreamed about
Wishing for everything we've always wanted

Will never come to be
Knowing that it may never happen

I know that it's bad luck to be superstitious,
I understand superstition is perceived as bad luck,

But nothing else is working,
But all else seems to be failing

And my head is really hurting,
My headache persists
