Just like a Pill Live
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I took too much
I'm crying here, what have you done?
I thought it would be fun
I can't stay on your life support, there's a shortage in the switch,
I can't stay on your morphine, 'cause its making me itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again but she's being a little bitch,
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill
I haven't moved from the spot where you left me
This must be a bad trip
All of the other pills, they were different
Maybe I should get some help
I can't stay on your life support, there's a shortage in the switch,
I can't stay on your morphine, 'cause its making me itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again but she's being a little bitch,
I think I'll get outta here, where I can
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill
I can't stay on your life support, there's a shortage in the switch,
I can't stay on your morphine, 'cause its making me itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again but she's being a little bitch,
I think I'll get outta here, where I can
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill
In "Just like a Pill," P!nk sings about a toxic relationship that has left her feeling worse than she did before. She is lying on the floor, having taken too many pills, and cannot rely on the person who gave them to her for help. Despite her attempts to get better, she seems to only be getting worse. P!nk compares this person to a pill that is supposed to make her better but instead makes her ill. She realizes that the only way to escape this cycle is to run away, even if it means going to the middle of nowhere and facing her fears.
The song's lyrics are powerful and show a lot of vulnerability, something that P!nk has been known for throughout her career. She has been open about her struggles with addiction, and this song feels like a reflection of those experiences. It's a reminder of how toxic relationships can have a lasting impact on our mental health and well-being.
