50 MG
Gable Price and Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wondering where home is
Sadness is romanticized
Human natures plank in the eye
Maybe I'm just plastic
Pretending I'm elastic
Increase my mental Fahrenheit
Stretch me, melt me, leave me to fry
Been biting the bullet
Yours is the kingdom if you let me rule it
Happy pills and apathy
I can't be alone with me
Maybe we're just New Years resolutions
Making up problems; making up solutions
Maybe we're a day train living in the night time
Staring at the dark and waiting the sunshine
Maybe, I'll be, I'll be fine
Maybe, I'll be, I'll be fine
Nothing is a sure thing
As mother nature's mood swings
Unwind me like a VHS; pull the plug and Tevo the rest
You're bushy tailed and wide eyed
In a bottle by my bedside
I named you fifty milligrams, I hold you in the palm of my hand
I named you fifty milligrams, I hold you in the palm of my hand
Maybe we're just New Years resolutions
Making up problems; making up solutions
Maybe we're a day train living in the night time
Staring at the dark and waiting for some sun
Maybe we're just New Years resolutions
Making up problems; making up solutions
Maybe we're a hairline, going through some hard times
Take this puppy west for a red wine skyline
Maybe, I'll be, I'll be fine
Maybe, I'll be, I'll be fine
Maybe, I'll be, I'll be fine
Maybe, I'll be, I'll be fine
Maybe, I'll be, I'll be fine
Maybe, I'll be, I'll be alright
Maybe, I'll be, I'll be fine
Maybe, I'll be, I'll be fine
Maybe, I'll be, I'll be fine
Maybe, I'll be, I'll be fine
Maybe, I'll be, I'll be fine
Maybe, I'll be
Oh I'll be just fine
The first two lines of Gable Price and Friends' "50 MG" sets the tone for the entire song, hinting at a feeling of longing and confusion. "Maybe I'm just home sick/Wondering where home is" reflects lyrics by an artist who is contemplating their identity and trying to find a sense of belonging. This first verse establishes the idea that the singer is feeling isolated and vulnerable.
In the subsequent verses, the theme of loneliness continues with lines such as "Sadness is romanticized" and "I can't be alone with me." The lyricist is expressing the idea that while sadness is often seen as poetic and beautiful, it can also be debilitating, leading to a constant need for validation and companionship. The line "Increase my mental Fahrenheit/Stretch me, melt me, leave me to fry" speaks to the idea of being pushed to one's limits, possibly by society or relationships.
The chorus, which is repeated throughout the song, introduces the idea of using medication to cope with feelings of insecurity and lack of control. "You're bushy tailed and wide-eyed/In a bottle by my bedside/I named you fifty milligrams, I hold you in the palm of my hand" speaks to the idea of medication being a source of comfort and even control for the singer.
