PILLS
James Supercave Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I thought I had the spotlight
I don't have much but it's all mine
Don't forget what happened last time
Down the halls of yesterday
Looking for a light
Can't help feeling little?
Wait until they cut you down the middle
Dead-eyed owl in the room
Sees but he doesn't move
I hope to God that I'm wrong
Maybe I am the fool
I'll give you all I have
I don't have much but it's true
Baby it's all for you
I'll give you my whole life
Nah, It ain't much but it's true
Baby I would die for you
I've been bought and broken, and sold again
I've sunk to the bottom and floated out in space
I rise with the new ones, you're a morning star
I don't want to die but here we are...
Growing, growing bigger
Every step we fall into each other
Kill me with love baby please
Your peaches in the afternoon
If there's a God, then it's you
I follow your every move.
I'll give you all I have
I don't have much but it's true
Baby it's all for you
I'll give you my whole life
Nah, It ain't much but it's true
Baby I would die for you
I'll give you all I have
I don't have much but it's true
Baby it's all for you
I'll give you my whole life
I know it ain't much but it's true
Baby I would die for you
The lyrics to James Supercave's song "PILLS" encompass themes of longing, desperation, and sacrifice in the pursuit of love and validation. The first verse reflects on past experiences and the desire to be seen and appreciated. The line "Here I go again I'm star-eyed" suggests the excitement and hopeful anticipation in seeking recognition and attention. Despite not having much, the singer takes pride in what they do have, emphasizing that it's their own.
The reference to "the halls of yesterday" signifies a search for illumination or answers in the past. The line "Can't help feeling little?" hints at a sense of insignificance or inadequacy that the singer might be struggling with while navigating their path. The subsequent line "Wait until they cut you down the middle" adds an air of caution, suggesting that there may be consequences or challenges ahead.
The second verse introduces the imagery of a "dead-eyed owl in the room" who observes but remains inactive. This owl potentially represents a sense of foreboding or a negative presence. The singer hopes they are wrong about the owl's impact, suggesting a glimmer of optimism despite the uncertainties they face. The line "Maybe I am the fool" alludes to the singer's vulnerability and uncertainty, acknowledging the possibility of being misguided.
The chorus centers around the idea of giving one's all, despite not having much to offer. It speaks to a deep devotion and willingness to sacrifice for the person they love. The repeated phrase "I'll give you all I have" reinforces their commitment, emphasizing that even though their resources may be limited, their love is genuine and unwavering.
The bridge introduces a narrative of resilience and endurance. The singer reflects on being "bought and broken, and sold again," alluding to past experiences of being used or discarded. They have endured lows and ultimately risen again, likening themselves to a "morning star." The conflicting desire to live versus a potential acceptance of death is also explored, suggesting the complexities of their emotions and circumstances.
The final section of the song reaffirms the singer's devotion and willingness to give everything they have. They acknowledge that their life may not amount to much, but they are willing to give it all for the person they love, even to the extent of sacrificing their own well-being. The repeated lines "I'll give you all I have" and "Baby I would die for you" emphasize the depth and intensity of their feelings, portraying a love that transcends personal limitations.
Line by Line Meaning
Here I go again I'm star-eyed
I'm filled with excitement and wonder, ready to embark on a new journey
When I thought I had the spotlight
Believing that I had the attention and recognition I desired
I don't have much but it's all mine
Even though I possess very little, I cherish and value what I do have
Don't forget what happened last time
Remember the past experiences and lessons I've learned to avoid repeating mistakes
Down the halls of yesterday
Reflecting on the past, exploring memories
Looking for a light
Searching for guidance and hope
Can't help feeling little?
Unable to shake off the feeling of insignificance
Wait until they cut you down the middle
Wait until you face the harsh realities and disappointments of life
Dead-eyed owl in the room
An observer who appears detached and unmoved by their surroundings
Sees but he doesn't move
Observes without taking action or expressing emotion
I hope to God that I'm wrong
Desperately wishing that my doubts and fears are unfounded
Maybe I am the fool
Considering the possibility that I have been foolish or naive
I've been bought and broken, and sold again
I have been manipulated, hurt, and taken advantage of multiple times
I've sunk to the bottom and floated out in space
I have experienced extreme lows and moments of detachment from reality
I rise with the new ones, you're a morning star
I find hope and renewal in the presence of those who shine brightly like a morning star
I don't want to die but here we are...
Despite not desiring death, I find myself in a difficult or challenging situation
Growing, growing bigger
Continuously expanding and evolving
Every step we fall into each other
With each step, we become more intertwined and connected
Kill me with love baby please
Overwhelm me with love and affection, even if it feels intense or overwhelming
Your peaches in the afternoon
Your presence brings sweetness and joy to my daily life
If there's a God, then it's you
If there is a divine being, it surely embodies the qualities I see in you
I follow your every move.
I am deeply fascinated and captivated by your actions and choices
I'll give you all I have
I am willing to give everything I possess
I don't have much but it's true
Although my possessions are limited, my sincerity is absolute
Baby it's all for you
My actions and sacrifices are dedicated to you
I'll give you my whole life
I am committed to offering you my entire existence
Nah, It ain't much but it's true
Despite the perceived insignificance, my love and devotion are genuine
Baby I would die for you
I am willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for your well-being and happiness
