PILLS
The Frights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's like I'm hopped up on this feelin'
I'm tryin' not to fall off the ceilin'
Cuz you can't get me off
Cherry chapstick sittin' ridin' shotgun
Looked at me and she offered me some
You will be fine hun
Promise you won't be off
It's like I was burnin' through space and time
Ultra light beams, colors, yeah that's right
Then I looked at you
Our lips, they touched but I didn't know
Time was moving oh woah woah so slow
Mouths numb and my tongue tied you
Crushed my pills and there was nowhere to hide
Fallin' back into my lovin' bedroom
No shoes, no shirt, no one but you
That little piece between your little fingers
No, it won't get you off she said
When we got back to school I was so high
It's like I was burnin' through space and time
Ultra light beams, colors, yeah that's right
Then I looked at you
Our lips they touched but I didn't know
Time was moving oh woah woah slow
Mouths numb and my tongue tied you
Crushed my pills and there was nowhere to hide
When we got back to school I was so high
It's like I was burnin' through space and time
Ultra light beams, colors, yeah that's right
Then I looked at you
Our lips they touched but I didn't know
Time was moving oh woah woah slow
Mouths numb and my tongue tied you
Crushed my pills and there was nowhere to hide
The Frights's song Pills is a story about a drug-infused experience between two lovers. The lyrics describe a feeling of being high and out of control. The singer is consumed by the euphoria from the pills that his partner has given him. The line "You've got my nose burnin' and bleedin'" represents the physical manifestation of the pills and the effect they have on the singer's body. He is trying to contain himself, but he feels like he is on the edge of falling off the ceiling. This is a metaphor for the feeling of losing control.
The second verse describes their experience at school while high. The singer is in a state of ecstasy and feels like he is burning through space and time. The use of the phrase "ultra light beams" is a reference to Kanye West's song of the same name, which is also about a drug-induced experience. When the singer looks at his partner, they touch lips, but he is too high to fully comprehend what is happening. His tongue is tied, and his mouth is numb from all the pills he has taken.
In the final verse, the singer and his partner return to school while still high, and he has to deal with the side effects of the pills. His tongue is still tied, and he struggles to communicate. He crushes his pills as he tries to hide the evidence of his drug use.
Overall, Pills is a story about the highs and lows of a drug-induced experience between two lovers. It is a cautionary tale about the dangers of drug use and losing control.
