pharmacy
Isaac Dunbar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mmm, hurt me
I kind of developed a taste for it
Mmm, hurt me
I want the pain between my lips

Feed it to me softly
From your purple and blue fingers
Constricted to only you
To whom I seem to linger
See me climb too high
You cut the vine you had to hinder me

Prescribe yourself to me
You're the only remedy
Have me begging on my knees
You're my pharmacy

Mmm, love me
I'll lay it between my fingertips
Mmm, love me
Then strip it away and take a sip

Take it from me softly
From your purple and blue fingers
Constricted to only you
To whom I seem to linger
See me climb too high
You cut the vine you had to hinder me

Prescribe yourself to me
You're the only remedy
Have me begging on my knees
You're my pharmacy
You're my pharmacy
You're my pharmacy

Mmm, hurt me (mmm, hurt me)
Mmm, hurt me (hurt me)
Mmm, love me (love me)
Mmm, love me
Love me, love me
Love, love me

Prescribe yourself to me
You're the only remedy




Have me begging on my knees
You're my pharmacy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Isaac Dunbar's "Pharmacy" explore themes of addiction, both to physical pain and emotional intensity. The repeated lines "Mmm, hurt me, I want the pain between my lips" and "Mmm, love me, then strip it away and take a sip" suggest a desire for self-destructive behavior, perhaps as a means of seeking intimacy or feeling alive. The singer addresses their lover as a "pharmacy," someone who can provide them with the drugs they crave, in this case pain and affection.


The imagery of "purple and blue fingers" suggests that the singer's lover may be causing them physical harm or engaging in BDSM practices, which they crave despite (or perhaps because of) the pain they cause. The line "You cut the vine you had to hinder me" implies that the lover has both a desire to harm and a desire to control the singer, which may be the source of their addiction.


Overall, "Pharmacy" is a dark and intense exploration of addiction and its relationship to love and pain. It suggests that the singer is trapped in a cycle of self-destructive behavior, and that their lover is complicit in enabling it. The song is a powerful reminder of the dangers of addiction and the importance of seeking help when struggling with substance abuse or other harmful behaviors.
