Sick!
Strawberry Milk Cult Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your eyes shone like the moon
On that night, it was red, and the stars put me to bed
And I'm dreaming that I'll need you again
And I feel like I'm lost
But I know that you're gone
And I realize I'm awake
And you saw me i was tired and afraid
And I'm feeling sick, feverish and cold
This is feeling kind of nice
And I'm unaware of the girl who would stare
Right on my eye
The lyrics to Strawberry Milk Cult's song Sick! paint a vivid picture of a person who is deeply entranced with someone they have no hope of being with. The first two lines describe the person in question as standing alone, and their eyes being as bright as the moon. The song then moves to describing the dream that the singer has of needing this person, despite them being gone. The singer is lost without this person and realizes it when they wake up, leaving them feeling sick, feverish, and cold. The feeling of being sick, however, is something that the singer finds comfortable, unaware of another girl who is staring at them.
The lyrics suggest that the singer has feelings for someone who is not reciprocating them. The bright and shining eyes of the person symbolize their attraction and appeal, but the red moon implies a sense of danger or warning. The dream of needing this person again reflects the singer's desire to be with them, even though they know that it is not possible. The sickness that the singer feels could be seen as a metaphor for the suffering they experience due to unrequited love. Nonetheless, the person seems to take some solace in this feeling, as if it validates their emotions.
Line by Line Meaning
When I saw you, you were standing alone
Upon catching sight of you, you were persistently standing unaccompanied
And your eyes shone like the moon
Your eyes were tremendously glittering and luminous, resembling the moon
On that night, it was red, and the stars put me to bed
During that particular night, the sky was colored red and the stars led me to slumber
And I'm dreaming that I'll need you again
Currently experiencing a reverie in which I require your presence once more
And I feel like I'm lost
I seem to be adrift and lost in thought
But I know that you're gone
Despite the confusion, I am cognizant of your absence
And I realize I'm awake
I become aware that I am no longer asleep
And you saw me i was tired and afraid
You perceived me when I was exhausted and filled with dread
To admit to you, didn't think it through, in my brain
I failed to properly consider disclosing my true feelings to you, mentally
And I'm feeling sick, feverish and cold
A sensation of illness, with symptoms including fever and chills, overcomes me
This is feeling kind of nice
Despite the sickness, I am deriving some enjoyment from this experience
And I'm unaware of the girl who would stare
I am oblivious to the female who intently regards me
Right on my eye
Her gaze remains fixed directly on my pupil
