Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
to save me from this darkness of mine
Thats in my mind
Destroying all of my conscience tonight
Help me understand
The difference between right and wrong
Cuz I’ve got most things wrong in my life
Help me put them right
Cuz pills can’t cure this kind of pain
That’s killing me again
Cuz pills can’t cure this kind of pain
That’s killing me again
Sitting at home
Staring at the tv
Whilst getting high on these memories
Have I done something wrong cuz this doesn’t seem right
What kind of idiot am I to ruin my whole life
Cuz pills can’t cure this kind of pain
That’s killing me again
Cuz pills can’t cure this kind of pain
That’s killing me again
Cuz pills can’t cure this kind of pain
That’s killing me again
Cuz pills can’t cure this kind of pain
That’s killing me again
In the song "Cure" by Cabin Boy Jumped Ship, the lyrics express a deep emotional struggle and a search for redemption. The singer is engulfed in darkness within their own mind, feeling as though something is destroying their conscience. They long for understanding, wanting to discern the difference between right and wrong, as they believe they have made numerous wrong choices in their life. They are pleading for help to set things right and find a way to alleviate their pain.
The lyrics emphasize that no amount of medication or pills can truly cure the kind of pain that the singer is experiencing. The pain is described as something that continues to kill them repeatedly, suggesting a cycle of suffering that they cannot escape. The use of pills can be seen as a metaphor for seeking a quick fix or an external solution for internal struggles, but the song emphasizes that true healing cannot come from external sources.
In the second verse, the singer finds themselves sitting at home, disconnected from reality, and reminiscing about past experiences while getting high on the memories. They question whether they have done something wrong to end up in this state, feeling a sense of regret and self-blame for ruining their entire life.
