Medicine
T-rain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Going out late at night
to see what I can find
City lights wash over me
Til I’m nearly blind
Let it go
Cant be any doubt
Take it slow
Turn yourself around
Take it in, and Let it happen
Sweet Medicine
Hiding in the shadows
Everything’s moving slow




Stranger in a strange land
Feel’in right at home

Overall Meaning

The song "Medicine" by T-rain is an emotional and introspective ballad that explores the singer's search for something meaningful and soothing amidst the chaos of city life. The lyrics of the song depict the singer setting out on a journey of self-discovery, wandering the streets late at night, and being overwhelmed by the bright lights of the city. The city lights, however, serve as a metaphor for the singer's dwindling hope and fading optimism, leaving him feeling nearly blind and lost.


Along the way, the singer finds a sense of comfort in the shadows, and while everything around him is moving slowly, the singer is moving fast. He's a stranger in a strange land, but he feels right at home, and it is in his newfound sense of belonging that he finds the "sweet medicine". The song's recurring refrain of "take it in, and let it happen" is an encouragement to the listener to let go of their doubts and worries, and to be open to accepting what life has to offer.


Overall, "Medicine" is a deeply personal and moving song that speaks to anyone who has ever felt lost or alone in a sea of people. The song's lyrics and haunting melody work together to create a powerful and emotional experience for the listener.
