KNGDAVD Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We′re toxic, we're poison
It′s making us sick for days
I'm tired of dealing
There's only one way to stay

We keep using our bodies
Like they′re medicine
Drugging away, drugging away

All our problems
We keep using our bodies
Like they′re medicine
Drugging away, drugging away
All our problems

We've been feeling so low lately
But surely you know
Can′t stand living together
Can't stand living alone
If were not going down
We′re staring down at our phones
It's the only way that we know

We′re screaming, we're crying
We're trying fix this ache
We′re breaking, we′re cracking
Always the same mistakes

We keep using our bodies
Like they're medicine
Drugging away, drugging away
All our problems
We keep using our bodies
Like they′re medicine
Drugging away, drugging away
All our problems

We've been feeling so low lately
But surely you know
Can′t stand living together
Can't stand living alone
If were not going down
We′re staring down at our phones
It's the only way that we know

We keep using our bodies
Like they're medicine
Drugging away, drugging away
We keep using our bodies
Like they′re medicine
Drugging away, drugging away
We keep using our bodies
Like they′re medicine
Drugging away, drugging away
We keep using our bodies

Like they're medicine
Drugging away, drugging away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of KNGDAVD's song "MEDICINE" highlight the effects of toxic relationships and the use of drugs or other harmful behaviors as a coping mechanism. The opening lines "We're toxic, we're poison. It's making us sick for days" suggest that the relationship or situation the singer is in is causing harm and they recognize that. However, they are also tired of dealing with the pain and the chorus reveals the only solution they see: to keep using their bodies like medicine, drugging away all their problems.

The next verse further emphasizes the struggles of the relationship or situation, with the line "Can't stand living together, can't stand living alone." The singer and their partner are stuck in a cycle of pain and coping mechanisms, whether it be drugs or simply staring at their phones. The repeated chorus emphasizes the reliance on these destructive behaviors and how they continue to mask their problems.

Overall, the song seems to paint a picture of helplessness and desperation in the face of a toxic relationship or situation. While the drug use may provide temporary relief, it ultimately perpetuates the cycle of pain and only further isolates the singer from the world outside of their toxic relationship.
