Noah Cunane brings irresistible musicality and raw emotion to the pop-punk ballad. With over 10M+ Spotify streams, Noah started to hit his musical stride when he dropped his stripped down "Miami" single in 2020. Most recently, Cunane dropped "Goner"—an angsty punk-pop anthem that cuts deep with vulnerable emotion, intimate feeling, and a super memorable hook. A ballad of sorts that examines the carefreeness of childhood and the almost inevitable disappointment that occurs when one loses said innocence.

Noah Cunane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wasted on my own, I called you mine
You left me empty handed
But you left me all your baggage
Don't know why, you don′t know why
Where will I go if you won't stay?
Got me fucked up when you're away
Numb the pain
Where will I go if you don′t stay?
Got me fucked up when you're away
I didn′t drink enough to numb the pain
Numb the pain
Sleep all day just to stay out all night (all night)
I see your face when I look in her eyes (her eyes)
When tomorrow comes and I wake up sober
I tell myself it's not really over, I, I, I
Where will I go if you won′t stay?
Got me fucked up when you're away
I didn′t drink enough to numb the pain
Numb the pain
Why you gotta go throw it all away?
Can we just talk, find another way?
You're my medicine, help me numb the pain
Numb the pain
Where will I go if you won't stay?
Got me fucked up when you′re away
I didn′t drink enough to numb the pain
Numb the pain
Why you gotta go throw it all away?
Can we just talk, find another way?
You're my medicine, help me numb the pain
Numb the pain
The lyrics of Noah Cunane's song "Medicine" portray the feelings of someone whose heart has been broken and is struggling to move on. The singer is constantly staring at their phone and wasting time alone, hoping to nullify the pain of their ex leaving them. The lyrics make it apparent that the ex has gone, leaving behind their "baggage," but the singer does not understand why this is happening.
The singer is experiencing a lot of intense and mixed emotions. They are left wondering where to go if the ex doesn't stay with them, their anxiety increasing when the ex is away. They are so deeply hurt that they feel they haven't even been able to numb the pain with alcohol, indicating the immense struggle they've been going through. The singer mentions the act of sleeping all day to go out at night, trying to forget the ex, but no matter how hard they try, they still see their ex's face in other people's eyes. The singer knows they will have to face the reality of the situation when they wake up sober, but tries to convince themselves that it's not really over yet.
In essence, the singer is asking for their ex back. They question why their ex threw everything away and ask if they can just talk and resolve their issues, saying that their ex is their "medicine" that can numb their pain. The song 'Medicine' is a representation of the emotional turmoil one can experience during a break up, particularly when they are still in love with their ex.
