Medicine
Kim Leoni Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Designed to change the way that I feel
For every heartache you gotta cure
That's why I put my trust in you
Everybody's looking for what they want
And everybody's looking for what they need
Gotta keep on looking for what I want
But I don't even know your name
So I will call you medicine
You can ease my pain
I don't wanna feel the same
Tonight I need your medicine
To put out the flame
I don't even know your name
So I will call you medicine
You can ease my pain
I don't wanna feel the same
Tonight I need your medicine
To put out the flame
(Medicine)
(Running through my veins)
But I don't even know your name
So I will call you medicine
You can ease my pain
I don't wanna feel the same
Tonight I need your medicine
To put out the flame
I don't even know your name
So I will call you medicine
You can ease my pain
I don't wanna feel the same
Tonight I need your medicine
To put out the flame
Trapped in emotions, you've got me hooked
The cure that you give is not in the book
To you I'm addicted, I can't deny
To shake you off, I won't even try
Everybody's looking for what they want
And everybody's looking for what they need
Gotta keep on looking for what I want
(Gotta keep on looking for what I want)
Don't even know your name
So I will call you medicine
You can ease my pain
I don't wanna feel the same
Tonight I need your medicine
Running through my veins
But I don't even know your name
So I will call you medicine
You can ease my pain
I don't wanna feel the same
Tonight I need your medicine
To put out the flame
I don't even know your name
So I will call you medicine
You can ease my pain
I don't wanna feel the same
Tonight I need your medicine
Running through my veins
But I don't even know your name
So I will call you medicine
You can ease my pain
I don't wanna feel the same
Tonight I need your medicine
To put out the flame
They say that your kiss is like a pill
Designed to change the way that I feel
For every heartache you gotta cure
That's why I put my trust in you
The song "Medicine" by Kim Leoni talks about someone who craves for a certain feeling that only the person's touch can give. The lyrics of the verses emphasize that the singer wants to change how they feel because of love's tribulations. They compare the feeling to medicine, something that puts into perspective the way it alleviates their pain. They say that the person they love is their medication and that they have no qualms about being addicted to their touch.
The chorus of the song echoes the same sentiment but elaborating on the addiction to the person's touch. The singer doesn't even know the person's name, but they refer to them as 'medicine' because they can take away their pain. They want to avoid feeling the same and need the medicine to put out the flame. The song concludes with the same acknowledgement of the person's importance being stuck in their emotions and the powerful desire to keep the medication in their life.
