Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought my heart might break 'cause slowly this kills
Not everyone needs space (oh no)
You're what the doctor gave, I swallowed your pill
I never loved this way (oh no)
You pick me up and get me higher
Baby I'm back now feeling how I used to feel
You got me back now, stick around, this is for reals
You put it do-do-do-down, my painkiller
You put it do-do-do-down, my painkiller
Baby I'm back now feeling how I used to feel
You got me back now, stick around, this is for reals
You put it down
You put it down
I had to turn the page to get here to you
Love how you numb my pain (oh yeah)
But all the nurses saved me, where is the juice?
That makes you go insane (oh yeah)
You pick me up and get me higher
You fill my cup with desire
Baby I'm back now feeling how I used to feel
You got me back now, stick around, this is for reals

The lyrics of "Painkiller" by Jason Derulo and Meghan Trainor revolve around the theme of finding love as a solution to pain and heartbreak. The song depicts how the feeling of being in love is like a painkiller, eliminating the emotional pain that one might have felt before. Meghan Trainor, in the verse, sings that being in love with someone makes them feel at peace and eliminates any emotional pain that they might have felt before. Jason, in the chorus, sings about how the love he shares with his lover is his "painkiller" - the thing that picks him up, gets him higher and fills his cup with desire. The chorus then goes on to say how he feels back to his usual self, and he wants his lover to stick around because what he feels is for real.
In conclusion, the song talks about how being in love can heal emotional pain and make one feel better. The song shows how love is a powerful drug that can heal one's pain and turn things around. Painkillers like opioids have been known to provide temporary relief from chronic pain, but the song suggests that true love can be a more potent and long-lasting painkiller for emotional pain.
