Medicine
Costanza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought I could ask you for this
I love to swallow it
Makes me forget of everything
Where is my medicine
I thought I could ask you for this
I need to swallow it
Cause butterflies don't grow old
And raindogs are not alone
Raindogs are not alone
Raindogs are not alone
Cause butterflies don't grow old
And raindogs are not alone
The lyrics to Costanza's "Medicine" seem to be about seeking relief and escape from the struggles of life. The singer is searching for their "medicine," which they believe will help them forget everything and forgive everyone. The repeated phrase "Where is my medicine" emphasizes the desperation and urgency in their search.
The mention of butterflies and raindogs adds a surreal element to the lyrics. Butterflies are often used as a symbol of transformation and change, while raindogs are rare optical illusions that appear during rain showers. Perhaps the mention of these natural phenomena represents the singer's desire for a change or escape from their current reality. The line "Cause butterflies don't grow old and raindogs are not alone" could also suggest that the singer wants to hold on to the beauty and wonder of life, even in difficult times.
