Medicine
The-1975 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even in the state of you and I
And how can I refuse?
Yeah, you rid me of the blues
Ever since you came into my life
In case you're my medicine (Yeah, you're a medicine)
Yeah, you're a medicine (You're a medicine)
I, I wanna marry you
Said I, I adore you
And that's all I have to say bye-bye
And you opiate this hazy head of mine
In case you're my medicine (Yeah, you're a medicine)
Yeah, you're a medicine (You're a medicine)
In case you're my medicine (Yeah, you're a medicine)
Yeah, you're a medicine
(You're a medicine, yeah you're a medicine)
The song Medicine by The-1975 is a love song that speaks of the impact the person singing it feels their partner has had on their life. The opening lines talk about how difficult it is to say goodbye in their relationship, even when things aren't perfect. The singer then goes on to describe his partner as being like medicine to him, a cure for the blues and the hazy head he experiences. The lyrics are simple yet effective, conveying the idea that the singer feels indebted to his partner for making his life better.
The way the song builds with each chorus is striking. The repetition of "In case you're my medicine, yeah you're a medicine" helps to reinforce the idea that the person the singer is addressing is essential to their life. The climax of the song comes with the final chorus, where the singer proclaims "I wanna marry you" with such sincerity that it's hard not to believe him. The final line, "yeah, you're a medicine," is said with such emphasis that it feels like a declaration of love.

I find it hard to say bye
It's difficult for me to part ways
Even in the state of you and I
Regardless of our current relationship status
And how can I refuse?
I can't turn you down
Yeah, you rid me of the blues
You make me happy and take away my sadness
Ever since you came into my life
From the moment you entered my world
In case you’re my medicine (Yeah, you’re a medicine)
You serve as my cure (yes, you are my cure)
Yeah, you’re a medicine (You’re a medicine)
You are the solution to my problems (you are the solution)
I, I wanna marry you
I want to spend the rest of my life with you
Said I, I adore you
I love and cherish you
And that’s all I have to say bye-bye
Those are my parting words
And you opiate this hazy head of mine
You calm my anxious mind and make me feel at ease

As an aspiring musician, having listened to this on repeat, as a lover, as a human being, I need not explain why Matthew Healy is my idol. Lyrically and otherwise.
This song is just effortlessly flawless. Have seen the band live twice and can image this one is going to have every venue absolutely fucking emanating with blissful surrender and peace of mind.
This song just speaks the words, 'everything is going to be okay, always'.
If ever Matty reads this, know I love you for all you have done and all you will do in music.
You reading this, I love you too. You have a great taste in music.
