Medicine
Bobaflex Lyrics

What would you do without your medicine
Asking the hypothetical scenario of what would happen if the person didn't have access to their addiction.

Falling on the floor again
Experiencing physical effects of withdrawals from the addiction.

Looking for the fix you found heaven in
Searching for the next hit of the drug that has become their comfort and relief.

Run like a fiend, never
Addiction has taken control and they feel helpless, like they can never escape its grasp.

Weaned from the breast, so you fell again
Comparing their addiction to being weaned from a mother's milk, and the withdrawal symptoms that result from not having it.

It's the big dark behind you, you can run,
A feeling of being chased by fears and memories of past trauma.

But it always finds you
Despite efforts to escape, the past trauma always comes back to haunt them.

Reminds you of something that happened so bad in your past
Triggers a memory or emotions associated with past trauma.

You never want to look back, manifest in bad dreams
Avoiding facing the trauma, which can lead to nightmares or other mental health issues.

Itch starts to scream, medicine numb the gnashing teeth
Symptoms of withdrawal can feel unbearable, but the drug provides temporary relief.

I must confess these pains in my chest disappear when I'm feeding the need
Confessing that the addiction temporarily relieves emotional or physical pain.

So forget about your questions,
Encouraging the listener to not question or judge the addiction.

Cause you know where I've been
Acknowledging the singer's past struggles with addiction.

There's a struggle in the mud and for now I'm sinking
Describing the ongoing battle with addiction and feeling like they are losing.

Sitting in the back room, thinking what might have been
Reflecting on the lost opportunities or life choices due to the addiction.

I'm alive, cause I'm taking all my medicine
Believing that the drug addiction is the reason for being alive and functional.

I'm on top of the world and nothing brings me down
Feeling invincible when under the influence of the drug.

What's that junk you been shooting in your veins
Asking what drugs the person has been using, highlighting the dangerous and damaging effects of injecting drugs.

Young kids do X headed straight for little brains
Critiquing the use of drugs by younger generations and the lasting effects on their developing brains.

Pop a bean for me, call it a shame,
Acknowledging the harmful and shameful nature of the addiction, while still requesting a drug hit.

Everyone escape, try to get away
Acknowledging that everyone tries to find an escape, but resorting to addiction ultimately doesn't solve any problems.

Shot from the head, you're the walking dead,
Describing the state of being under the influence and the damaging effects on one's mental and physical health.

Corpses chasing artificial happiness
Metaphor for those under the influence of drugs being like 'walking corpses', chasing the illusion of happiness or relief from pain.

Death to the freaks and the fiends that deserved it
Blaming and punishing drug addicts as 'freaks' who should deserve the negative consequences of addiction (e.g. death).

I had a get out of hell free card, but I burned it
Possibly referring to an earlier opportunity or intervention to help with addiction, which the singer neglected or rejected.

Slide down, back to the hole where you feel comfortable
Relapsing back into addiction as it provides familiarity and comfort.

What would you do without your medicine
Repeating the question of what would happen if the person didn't have their drug addiction to rely on.
