Medicine
Nakhane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Same clothes, the same coat
Heaven knows where we'll go
Where they won't follow me
Let's just escape this
Tear down the craziness
Shameful places
Damn the pain, the fire
Something like the great divider
Now it starts inside us
The cure, the medicine
All you, breathing space
Carefree embrace
Nothing like those dark days
That we remember well
Damn the pain, the fire
Something like the great divider
Praise it's not inside us
Now we know the feeling will go
We're safe against the medicine
So turn the pages start anew stand and celebrate
It's nothing but his memory
Pain, the fire
Something like the great divider
Now it's not inside us
And you may descend
Medicine
The song "Medicine" by Nakhane talks about escaping the painful memories of the past and finding a cure - a medicine - to heal oneself. The first verse talks about staying close and wearing the same clothes as a symbol of unity and protection because they don't know where they are going and don't want to be followed. The second verse then urges to escape from the madness and tear down shameful places because there's nothing left to see there.
The chorus talks about damming the pain and the fire of the past that has divided them and starting afresh with the new cure - the medicine. The bridge then talks about celebrating the turning of the pages and leaving behind the memories that were painful before. Finally, the chorus repeats, saying that the great divider is no longer inside them and they're now safe from it because they found the medicine.

Stay close and take note
Let's pay attention and stick together
Same clothes, the same coat
It doesn't matter how we look or dress
Heaven knows where we'll go
We don't know where we're headed, but we'll figure it out
Where they won't follow me
We need to escape from those who don't understand or accept us
Let's just escape this
We need to get away from the chaos and madness of the world
Tear down the craziness
We need to break free from the destructive patterns and behaviors that hold us back
Shameful places
There are places that bring us shame and guilt
There's nothing left to see
We've seen it all, and it's time to move on

These negative experiences have separated us from our true selves

We can let go of our worries and embrace the moment
Nothing like those dark days
The past is behind us, and things are better now
That we remember well
But we can't forget where we came from and what we've been through

And you may descend
We may fall again
