PILLS
Ouse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing seems so real you are gone until
I close my eyes
Think of the ways we used to fight
I got high and I regret it
I got demons in my attic
Feel like flying like Aladdin
Real life's tragic i got magic
Like I'm Hagrid let me at it
But nothing changed so I am sad again
The mountain's silhouette
Our clothes are soaking wet
Beneath the purple sky
We clench our fists and cry
Take me high, to the sky
Lay me down, take a ride
Don't know why I feel this way
But I'm alright I'll be fine
Fly away, for the night
Tired of light, but you know what I'm like
Don't want to feel this way, but
I'm alright, I'll be fine
My home is a graveyard mine like a bombard
Eyes like a seafarer soon I gotta ask her
I know it can get hard my tears stay molten
Got mind so broken no moping or hoping
Mind's soon exploding
Writing like I'm Tolkien
Demon's got his hands on me
Forgetting what I'm gonna be
Other people see me and they think
They never wanted me to be me
Lying to myself implying I need help
I just wanna stop feeling my sad health
Pop another pill so I don't have to feel
Nothing seems so real you are gone until
I close my eyes
Think of the ways we used to fight
You and me are opposites
That's why you always lose your shit
You told me I was losing it
That's why are a hypocrite
Yeah why are we still doing this?
Tell me something different
Like how you crushed my heart again
Can you hold me in your arms again
(The mountain's silhouette)
I don't remember your face
Hold me once again
(Our clothes are soaking wet)
I don't remember your face
So I am lost again (Beneath the purple sky)
Try not to think back or I'll get sad
So I am lost again
(We clench our fists and cry)
I got nowhere to go so I'll be back
The lyrics to Ouse's song "Pills" delve into themes of emotional numbness, longing, and the struggle to cope with loss. The first stanza presents a desperate attempt to escape the pain by numbing oneself with pills, as the singer reflects on the absence of their loved one and reminisces about their past fights. The lyrics convey a sense of detachment from reality, where nothing feels real without the presence of the person they miss.
The second verse further explores the singer's state of mind, acknowledging the regret of turning to drugs and the presence of inner demons. The reference to flying like Aladdin alludes to a desire for freedom and happiness, yet they understand that life's realities can be tragic. The mention of Hagrid, a character from Harry Potter, indicates a longing for a different, magical reality. However, the realization that nothing has changed ultimately leads to sadness.
The chorus contrasts the desire to escape with a sense of resilience. The singer longs to be taken high into the sky, seeking a temporary reprieve from their emotions. Despite not understanding the reasons behind their emotions, they reassure themselves that they will be fine and express a craving for darkness and solitude. The repeated phrase "I'm alright, I'll be fine" suggests a determination to push through the pain.
The third verse describes the singer's mind as a tumultuous place, with references to a graveyard and a bombard. They feel lost and burdened, acknowledging that their tears never cease and their thoughts are overwhelmed. The mention of J.R.R. Tolkien, the author of The Lord of the Rings, implies that their writing is an outlet for their chaotic emotions. They also express how others perceive them and imply a struggle to be themselves in the face of external expectations. Despite recognizing the need for help, they are trapped in their emotions and desperately want to stop feeling sad.
The final section of the song presents a conflicted dynamic between the singer and their former partner. They highlight the opposing nature of their personalities and how this leads to frequent conflicts and gaslighting. The singer questions the continuation of this destructive pattern and longs for something different. The closing lines express both a yearning for the comfort of being held in their loved one's arms and a sense of being lost with nowhere else to go, promising their return.

Realizing the impossibility of the desired escape
Real life's tragic i got magic
Despite the hardships, I possess resilience
Like I'm Hagrid let me at it
Eager to confront challenges like Hagrid in Harry Potter
But nothing changed so I am sad again
Disappointed by the lack of transformation
The mountain's silhouette
The outline of the mountain
Our clothes are soaking wet
Drenched clothing
Beneath the purple sky
Under the colored sky
We clench our fists and cry
Expressing frustration and sorrow
Take me high, to the sky
Elevate me, uplift my spirits
Lay me down, take a ride
Allow me to rest and escape
Don't know why I feel this way
Uncertain about the emotions I'm experiencing
But I'm alright I'll be fine
Optimistic about overcoming difficulties
Fly away, for the night
Seek temporary relief
Tired of light, but you know what I'm like
Fatigued by reality, but recognizing my tendencies
Don't want to feel this way, but
Desire to break free from negative emotions
I'm alright, I'll be fine
Maintaining positivity despite struggles
My home is a graveyard mine like a bombard
My mind feels desolate and destructive
Eyes like a seafarer soon I gotta ask her
Eyes filled with longing to find answers
I know it can get hard my tears stay molten
Recognizing the challenges while maintaining emotional vulnerability
Got mind so broken no moping or hoping
Feeling mentally shattered, without optimism
Mind's soon exploding
Thoughts becoming overwhelming
Writing like I'm Tolkien
Expressing emotions and experiences through writing
Demon's got his hands on me
Feeling controlled or influenced by inner demons
Forgetting what I'm gonna be
Losing sight of my future prospects
Other people see me and they think
Perceived differently by others
They never wanted me to be me
Feeling misunderstood or unaccepted by others
Lying to myself implying I need help
Deceiving myself about my need for assistance
I just wanna stop feeling my sad health
Desiring relief from emotional pain
You and me are opposites
We have contrasting natures
That's why you always lose your shit
Explaining the reason for your anger outbursts
You told me I was losing it
Accusing me of losing my sanity
That's why are a hypocrite
Highlighting your hypocritical behavior
Yeah why are we still doing this?
Questioning the continuation of our relationship
Tell me something different
Share an alternative perspective
Like how you crushed my heart again
Acknowledging the pain caused by your actions
Can you hold me in your arms again
Yearning for physical affection
(The mountain's silhouette)
(Referring back to the outline of the mountain)
I don't remember your face
Memories of your appearance are fading
Hold me once again
Longing to be held again
(Our clothes are soaking wet)
(Recalling drenched clothing)
I don't remember your face
Struggling to recall your visage
So I am lost again (Beneath the purple sky)
Feeling directionless amidst the colored sky
Try not to think back or I'll get sad
Avoiding reminiscing to prevent sadness
So I am lost again
Feeling lost once more
(We clench our fists and cry)
(Revisiting the expression of frustration and sorrow)
I got nowhere to go so I'll be back
Having no alternative, I will return
