Potion
Peter Kuli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give me pressure like the warmth inside my head
I think you should give me faster callin' them I'm after
When I'm fallin' out of love
You keep talking out my ear dear
I wont fight your demons for you, get rid of your fear
When you find me swimming across your ocean
Take your tears back, I dont need your problems
Wont tell you to solve them
Get the fuck out my past
All these voices that I want inside my bed
Give me pressure like the warmth inside my head
I think you should give me faster callin' then I'm after
When I'm fallin' out of love
In Peter Kuli's song 'Potion', the artist details the pressures of a tumultuous relationship. He describes the different voices that he wants inside his bed, which could be interpreted as wanting different sexual partners, but then goes on to explain that these voices add pressure to his life. The pressure is described as being like warmth inside his head and alludes to the discomfort and confusion that comes with overwhelming emotions.
Kuli then transitions into addressing his partner directly, stating that he believes they should address the issues in their relationship by seeking help from outside sources. He acknowledges that he is falling out of love with his partner and that he cannot fight their demons for them. Instead, he suggests he'll be a potion to his partner when they cry, indicating that he will be there to comfort them when they are in need.
The song takes a turn towards the end, with Kuli expressing his need to distance himself from his partner's problems. He tells them to take their tears back and that he does not need their problems, indicating that he wants to move on from the relationship.
Overall, 'Potion' can be interpreted as a introspective look into the challenges of a relationship and the difficulties that come with navigating love, while also acknowledging the importance of taking care of oneself.
