Medicine
The Spheres Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sacred call of love is medicine
To the dying breath of man
It takes him where he wants to go but
Until we fall apart it's medicine
That will break us till we bend
It's now or never
It's funny how you hold the line
And you follow the signs
Till I can change your mind
When I try to go
Won't heaven light my way
It's funny how you hold the line
Then you follow the signs
Till I can change your mind
When I try to go
Won't heaven light my way
Blood before the scar is medicine
That'll chase us till the end
It's not where I was born to go but
Ink upon the wall is medicine
And the greatest ever sin
For those who wonder
It's funny how you hold the line
And you follow the signs
Till I can change your mind
When I try to go
Won't heaven light my way
It's funny how you hold the line
Then you follow the signs
Till I can change your mind
When I try to go
Won't heaven light my way
Oh my lord
You know it's not too late
You said eyes will lie the world will change
Well you are not alone
Oh my lord
You know it's not too late
You said eyes will lie the world will change
Well you are not alone
It's funny how you hold the line
And you follow the signs
Till I can change your mind
When I try to go
Won't heaven light my way
It's funny how you hold the line
Then you follow the signs
Till I can change your mind
When I try to go
Won't heaven light my way
Oh my lord
You know it's not too late




You said eyes will lie the world will change
Well you are not alone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Medicine" by The Spheres explore the concept of love as a healing force in our lives. The opening line, "The sacred call of love is medicine," suggests that love has a transcendent and transformative power, much like medicine does to heal physical ailments. It is portrayed as something that can bring solace and comfort to individuals, particularly in their final moments.


The lyrics continue to emphasize the potency of love as medicine, stating that it can take us to where we want to go. Love is portrayed as a guiding force, helping people navigate their path in life. However, there is an acknowledgment that love can also bring about pain and vulnerability - being broken until we bend. It implies that love is not always straightforward; it can push us to our limits before it truly heals us.


The song also touches upon the idea of destiny and divine intervention. The line "It's now or never" suggests a sense of urgency and the need to seize the opportunities presented by love. There is a plea to be able to change someone's mind, to alter their perspective and bring them closer. The reference to heaven lighting the way implies that seeking love is akin to a spiritual journey.


The lyrics then shift to explore the role of blood and ink as forms of medicine. "Blood before the scar is medicine" suggests that going through pain and suffering can ultimately lead to healing and growth. Ink upon the wall is presented as a form of expression and communication, implying that art and creativity can also serve as medicine for the soul. The mention of it being the "greatest ever sin" suggests that some may consider pursuing artistic passions as a deviation from societal expectations but ultimately find solace and healing through them.


The final lines of the song, repeated for emphasis, address a higher power or a guiding force. The phrase "Oh my lord, you know it's not too late" suggests a belief in redemption and the idea that love can bring about change. The recognition that eyes can deceive and that the world can transform indicates a desire for a profound shift in perspective. The reassurance that "you are not alone" conveys a sense of support and solidarity, reminding listeners that even in their struggles, they are not isolated.
