No Potion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But here we are again
I've got a lot of explaining
But I don't really care tomorrow
Because this has got me bent
I don't wanna be dead
But life it doesn't end
I cut you off again
You're used to it I guess
I'm not myself right now
I don't need a friend
If we can get alone
You promise you won't go
If we can get alone
If we can get alone
You'll never be enough
You'll never be enough
I'll never be enough
You gave me something to hold onto
Don't ever leave
I don't know what's next
And if I break down
And if I break down
At least it'll be a show
At least it'll be a show
Give me something to hold
Don't know what's next
'Cause if you break
You've got a lot to think on
But you have never bled like this
And when you do I'll tell you the rest
You'll cry and you'll guess but I don't think I'll be missed
You don't understand
Why death was in my plan
I'll face it when I smoke
Release it when I go
You'll never be enough
I'll never be enough
You gave me something to hold onto
Don't ever leave
I don't know what's next
And if I break down
And if I break down
You gave me something to hold
I don't know what's next
And if I break down
And if I break down
The lyrics to No Potion's song "Lindsay Lohan Circa 2009" are dark and introspective. The singer admits to smoking despite not wanting to, and feeling like they are not themselves. They remind their friend that they will never be enough, and express their fear of what may come next. The repetition of "if I break down" suggests a sense of imminent emotional collapse.
The second verse takes a turn towards more ominous territory, as the singer talks about death being in their plan and facing it when they smoke. The line "release it when I go" implies a planned suicide, and the lack of concern for being missed is heartbreaking. The line "I'll tell you the rest / You'll cry and you'll guess" implies that there is more to the story of the singer's pain, but it may never be fully understood.
Overall, the song is a haunting portrait of someone struggling with addiction and suicidal thoughts. The use of Lindsay Lohan as a reference point adds an interesting layer, as it reflects on a time in the actress's life when she was also publicly struggling.
