Medicine
The Mr. Kingdom Show Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the sins of my youth well they did not pass
Up the tree, up to me, no I've changed my act
I don't dwell in the darkness, walk a different path
But the truth is it hides underneath my pride
Coyote, behind me, waiting, matching me stride for stride
So slowly it seeps into my soul and actions I do
I'm feeding the wrong wolf destruction will soon ensue
There's a shadowy darkness, self-judgment that's killing we
So we lean towards the things that our culture tells us we need
Overcompensating with lying, power, and greed
But there's a song in the wind coming through to those who will hear
A call to loving kindness for you truly sincere
Said there's a song in the wind coming through to those who will hear
A call to loving kindness for you truly sincere
'Cause with no, no honesty
Or love for who we have been
There's a door creaking open now
For a spiritual reckoning
It's a spiritual reckoning
So heed the call
You've got the remedy
Stand in light of all that you are
Heed the call
You've got the remedy
Open hearts facing sun
Music is the medicine and
Dance is how you swallow so
Throw your head back let it in
Dance your truth and
Embrace all your shame and guilt
For darkness cannot follow
Those who shine their light within
Love yourself and
So love yourself
You've got the remedy
Stand in light
Of all that you are
Free yourself
Speak truth to your darkness
Show your scars
They made up your world
Tell yourself
You are not your mistakes
Find the light
Building within
Trust yourself
Your body won't let you down
Your strength is yet
Unknown to you
Music is the medicine and
Dance is how you swallow so
Throw your head back let it in
Dance your truth and
Embrace all your shame and guilt
For darkness cannot follow
Those who shine their light within
Love yourself and
'Cause with no, no honesty
Or love for who we have been
There's a door creaking open now
For a spiritual reckoning
It's a spiritual reckoning
The lyrics of "Medicine" by The Mr. Kingdom Show explore the concept of personal growth and the struggle to overcome one's past mistakes. The song begins by acknowledging that everyone hears the collective cry of not being defined by their past actions. However, the singer admits that their past sins still linger within them, hidden underneath their pride. The metaphor of the coyote symbolizes the darkness that follows them, always matching their every step. This darkness slowly seeps into their soul, leading them to destructive behaviors.
The lyrics then delve into the idea of hiding our true selves from the world, driven by societal pressures and the need to conform. Overcompensating with lies, power, and greed becomes the norm, but there is a message in the wind calling out to those who are willing to listen. The song encourages embracing loving kindness and seeking a spiritual reckoning, where honesty and love for one's past are necessary for personal growth.
Overall, "Medicine" is a powerful anthem about self-acceptance, embracing one's flaws, and finding the strength to overcome darkness by shining one's light within.
