Medicine
Ombra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I walk alone our secret places
I think I′ve smoked a thousand cigarettes
Butterflies are teasing me
I wish you were here

You take the clouds away
From here you take away the dark
You run away to different spaces
You should realize this is your medicine
The bright side is here to stay (here to stay)
I wish you could feel it

I'll take the clouds away
From here we′ll take away the dark (I'll take your way)
I'll take the clouds away
From here I′ll take away the dark





You take the clouds away
From here y ou take away the dark

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ombra's song "Medicine" evoke a somber yet reflective mood as the singer reminisces about a lost love. The first verse sets the scene, as the singer walks alone in their "secret places," lost in thought and feeling as if they have smoked a thousand cigarettes. A melancholic tone is suggested through the imagery of butterflies teasing the singer, perhaps symbolizing fleeting moments of joy that are ultimately unsustainable. Despite the apparent isolation and sadness, the singer longs for the company of their lost love, wishing they were there.


The chorus of the song is both a lament and a call to action, as the singer implores their lover to realize that the separation is unnecessary and that the "bright side" is present and persistent. Interestingly, the chorus seems to suggest that the separation is not a permanent state but rather one that can be overcome with the recognition of the power of love as medicine. The repeated line, "You take the clouds away / From here you take away the dark," reinforces this framing, culminating in the final line, "From here you take away the dark," suggesting an eventual reunion and the vanquishing of sadness.


Overall, the lyrics of Ombra's "Medicine" are a reflection on the power of love, the struggle to maintain it, and the inevitability of its eventual triumph over sadness and despair.
