Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walking down the street tonight
Like every night nowhere to go
No one on the street tonight
And no one waiting up at home
Watching as my cigarette is
spinning smoke into the wind
Watching as the time goes by
I think about the fix I'm in
Only you can come to save me
Being all alone has made me
shake down
Break down
Give me everything I'm missing
Give me deep and soft,
sweet kissing
Touch my skin
My medicine
All I want is you to hold and
comfort me come on you're
My medicine
When I'm feeling lost and weak
you're what I'm wishing give me
My medicine
I can feel a passion from my
one affliction
Loving him is medicine

I got hooked on your love
nicotine, yeah

Walking down this lonely road
I found you spinning
up like smoke
You don't even have to chase me
Waiting for so long has made me
stressed up
Messed up
Give me everything I'm missing
Give me deep and soft,
sweet kissing
Touch my skin
I'm giving in you're
My medicine
All I want is you to hold and
comfort me come on you're
My medicine
When I'm feeling lost and weak
you're what I'm wishing give me
My medicine
I can feel a passion from my
one affliction
Loving him
Loving him is medicine
My medicine, yeah
Loving him is medicine




My medicine, yeah
Loving only him is medicine

The lyrics of "My Medicine" by Mika Nakashima for the anime series NANA speak about finding comfort and solace in a lover who acts as a "medicine." The song starts with the singer walking down an empty street, feeling lost and with nowhere to go. She is alone and has no one waiting for her at home. She watches as her cigarette smoke spins into the wind and contemplates the situation she is in. She feels like she is missing something, and the only person who can save her and make her feel complete is her lover.


The lyrics suggest that her lover can make her feel better, even when she is feeling down and weak. She compares his love to a drug or nicotine, which she has become addicted to, and cannot live without. The chorus suggests that she needs him to hold her and comfort her when she is feeling lost or alone. She is giving in to him because he is her medicine, and loving him is the only cure for her afflictions.


In the second verse, the singer discovers her lover on a lonely road, and she realizes that she does not have to chase him. Waiting for him for so long has made her stressed and messed up, and she needs him to make her feel whole again. She is once again asking for a kiss, to touch her skin and take away everything she is missing.


Overall, the song is about finding comfort and solace in a lover, who is the only medicine that can cure the singer's afflictions. The lyrics suggest that everything is incomplete without love, and the singer is addicted to her lover's affection and attention.
