Medicine Man
Charlotte OC Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hot in the night, cold in the morning
The spirit alive is calling my name
The healer inside will pray for the lonely
Remember the time you stole me away
You didn't know me but once in my veins
You had a whole but nothing to say
You got it all now the spirit alive is calling my name
I don't know what you do but it's making me better
Can we lay down, lay down together?
I'ma take you like a drug; can you take me to heaven?
Can you love, can we love, can we love, can we love forever?
Cause I want you
I want you
I want you, medicine man




Send me a sign, send me no warning
I never know why my heart's on a chain

Overall Meaning

Charlotte OC's Medicine Man is a song about finding solace in someone who may not necessarily be good for you. The opening lyrics "Hot in the night, cold in the morning" suggest a tumultuous relationship that is intense one moment and cold the next. The singer acknowledges that there is something about this person that is addictive and all-consuming ("I don't know what you do but it's making me better"), but also dangerous ("I'ma take you like a drug; can you take me to heaven?").


The chorus "I want you, medicine man" implies that this person is like a medicine, a cure for whatever ails her, but that it's also a little bit twisted. In the verse "The healer inside will pray for the lonely", the singer seems to be addressing herself, acknowledging that she is seeking comfort and healing from someone who may not be capable of providing it. Ultimately, the song is about the complexities of human relationships and the ways in which we sometimes seek out people who may not be good for us simply because they make us feel alive.


Overall, Medicine Man is a haunting and emotional track that showcases Charlotte OC's powerful vocals and her ability to craft deeply introspective lyrics that resonate with listeners.

I am asking for a clear sign without any uncertainty or doubt


I never know why my heart's on a chain
I feel trapped and uncertain about my own emotions

Hot in the night, cold in the morning
The spirit alive is calling my name
The healer inside will pray for the lonely
Remember the time you stole me away

You didn't know me but once in my veins
You had a whole but nothing to say
You got it all now the spirit alive is calling my name

I don't know what you do but it's making me better
Can we lay down, lay down together?
I'ma take you like a drug
Can you take me to heaven?
Can you love, can we love, can we love, can we love forever?

'Cause I want you
I want you
I want you, medicine man

Send me a sign, send me no warning
I never know why my heart's on a chain

You didn't know me but once in my veins
You had a whole but nothing to say
You got it all now the spirit alive is calling my name

I don't know what you do but it's making me better
Can we lay down, lay down together?
But I'ma take you like a drug
Can you take me to heaven?
Can you love, can we love, can we love, can we love forever?

Why don't you
Why don't you
Why don't you, medicine man
'Cause I want you
I want you
I want you, medicine man

Oh you got me in your loving arms
Oh you got me in your loving arms

I don't know what you do but it's making me better
When we lay down, lay down together
I'ma take you like a drug
Can you take me to heaven?
Can you love, can we love, can we love, can we love forever?

Why don't you
Why don't you
Why don't you, medicine man
'Cause I want you
I want you
I want you, medicine man

I love pointe dancers who do this kind of thing. It shows you dont always have to be "Classical" By dancing to ONLY Classical music. (PS Great job! I hope I can get to your level someday)

I saw this for the first time 4 years ago, and on my life, I have watched it at least once a month ever since. THIS is Contemporary Pointe at its finest level of perfection.

Ballet_Plum💫✨

Try lyrical pointe solo, (modern and contemporary usually refer to lyricless dances in the ballet community- neoclassical and all)

That high-kicked spin that she saves for the very end of the performance—simply amazing. Her strength is off the charts.
