Boy/Girl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never finished school
I couldn't stay awake
I never fell in love
They never wanna stay
Yeah yeah yeah
I got my mother's strength
But I've got my father's ways
My brother's records
And that old guitar he played
Yeah yeah yeah
Tonight I really wanna lose my mind
I wanna stay here till the sun lights up the sky
Tonight I only wanna feel alive
I wanna stay here and forget the world outside
Let's burn our bridges we can start everything over again
Made all the wrong moves
Made all the wrong friends
Made out with strangers
Made in America
Yeah yeah yeah
Tonight I really wanna lose my mind
I wanna stay here till the sun lights up the sky
Tonight I only wanna feel alive
I wanna stay here and forget the world outside
Let's burn our bridges we can start everything over again
I never finished school
I couldn't stay awake
I never fell in love
They never wanna stay
Made all the wrong moves
Made all the wrong friends
Maybe tomorrow I'll make it right again
Tonight I really wanna lose my mind
I wanna stay here till the sun lights up the sky
Tonight I only wanna feel alive
I wanna stay here and forget the world outside
Let's burn our bridges we can start everything over again
Let's burn our bridges we can start everything over again
Let's burn our bridges we can start everything over again

Overall Meaning

The Boy/Girl's song "Me, You, and My Medication" is a story about a person who is lost, struggling with addiction and is unable to find their way back. The lyrics are very honest and vulnerable, expressing deep emotions of confusion, pain, and the constant search for something that can take away their pain. The singer in the song is admitting to feeling lost and using drugs to numb themselves, while at the same time searching for someone to help them find the way back. The song ends with the realization that everyone is addicted to something that helps them get through hard times.


The lyrics touch on the idea that people use different mediums to escape from the pain of the present, and that love and medicine are two of those ways. The chorus "Me, and you, and my medication, love is just a chemical creation, synthetic sensation" is poignant and indicative of the confusion and the search people have when they are struggling with addiction. One can interpret this as the singer in the song using medication and love to escape their pain but the pain always follows, searching for something which might help them get through tough times.


Overall, the song is a moving commentary on addiction and struggle, and how people often seek external things to ease their internal pain. It highlights the idea that we all have moments in life where we feel lost, but we need to keep our hope alive to help us find a way through.

Boy/Girl play a creeped out brand of rock with frenetic highs, unsettling lows, and strange sexual undertones blending amplified feedback and Eric Stiner's surreal vocals with absolutely anything drummer Lisa Cusack can reach from her drum kit. Dreamlike and raw it is a rollercoaster of screams, sighs, mumbles and spoken word. Eric's guitar alternates between buzzing melodies and choppy ambient noise while Lisa keeps the ship afloat with eclectic beats and unusual rythm instruments.

This bio is describing a different band. Boy/Girl is a 3 piece from Oxnard California. Isaac Chavez on vocals/guitar Maxine lemuz on bass/vocals and Eddie madec on drums

I am a step dad and I got to dance with my step daughter at her wedding. She made me feel like a million dollars, cherished and honored!!!! So fun!!! I also walked her 1/2 way down the aisle and passed her on to her real dad. Her Dad took her to the alter to give to the groom. Such a great time for our family. Pure celebration!
