According to Gregory, Rozwell Kid was a substantial influence on much of his early songwriting. The band's name is derived from a game that Gregory played with the band's "merch guy" at recess in elementary school. They began in 2014 with the release of an EP titled Skip Cutscenes! Blow Loud!. In 2015 they followed the EP with another, titled Adult Summers. They later released their first full-length album titled I Thought You Didn't Even Like Leaving in 2016 on Broken World Media.
In 2019, the band released its second full-length album titled Cosmic Thrill Seekers on Counter Intuitive Records, and embarked on several extensive tours in support of the album. In 2021, the band released the single, “Curly Q”, and announced their singing with Pure Noise Records. Later in 2022 their third studio LP was announced and followed by the singles, “A Random Exercise in Impermanence (The Collector)”, “El Dorado”, and Shoelaces.” The bands self-titled album was released April 15, 2022.
I Forgot to Take My Meds Today
Prince Daddy & The Hyena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can′t believe it's only Tuesday
Because it hit me on the highway
I forgot to take my meds today
I know I can′t do fun things after work
Because I'm too scared to smile and risk the effort
I'm sorry you don′t feel loved right now
I feel like I'm grounded in bubblegum when I try to move
I′m sinking in quicksand with one arm reaching out
I forgot to take my meds today
I can't believe it′s only Tuesday
Because it hit me on the highway
I forgot to take my meds today
I forgot to take my meds today
I can't believe it′s only Tuesday
Because it hit me on the highway
I forgot to take my meds today
I forgot to take my meds
today is a song by the band Prince Daddy & The Hyena. The lyrics describe the experience of living with a mental illness and the effects of not taking medication to manage it. The song starts with the line, "I forgot to take my meds today", which establishes the central theme of the song. The singer of the song is struggling to cope with living without their medication and the realization of the fact hits them while they are on the highway.
The lyrics further emphasize that not taking the medication has severe consequences. For example, the singer feels like they cannot do anything fun or enjoy life after work because they are too scared to smile and put in the effort. They also apologize for not being able to show love or care towards others at the moment as they are pretending to be themselves. This shows that not taking medication can lead to a loss of interest in things that once brought joy and a difficulty in connecting with others.
The song ends with a repetition of the opening lines, "I forgot to take my meds today, I can't believe it's only Tuesday, because it hit me on the highway." This repetition reinforces the idea that living without medication can have severe consequences.
