Medicine
Side Baby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sick Luke, Sick Luke

Ho preso le mie medicine ma non sento l'effetto
Sto seduto in piedi sul bordo del letto (non dormo)
Da ragazzino in piedi sul bordo del tetto
Lasciando cadere cose per sentirne l'effetto (giù giù giù)

Il suicidio non lo contemplo ma ci penso spesso
Lo ammetto, ultimamente ci stavo attraverso
Depressione è una condizione, credi duri in eterno
È tutto in testa, è una battaglia col cervello

E non dico questo perché sono uno psichiatra
Ma perché sono cresciuto in strada tra merda sbagliata
Mamma scusami se sono come sono
Teschio in fiamme da sempre, non puoi tenerlo in prigione
Giro ancora co' una lama, ho paranoia delle persone
Allo stesso tempo morirei senza sentire amore
A volte spero che morirò non sentendo dolore




Ma soltanto un elevarsi e andare via con onore
In un posto migliore
