Medicine
The Wolfs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You’re my remedy
My Tylenol (My Tylenol)
Stuck in bed
Fever to my head
And I got a cold (I got a cold)
Oooo ooo
Why’s it always have to be me
Why can’t you be the perfect girl that I can make into my bb
Oh why
Can’t you see
You’re tearing me apart
You know you’re always on my mind
I think about you all the time
You know you’re always on my mind
I think about you all the time
Cuz you’re the only medicine that I need
Can’t you see
You’re the only medicine that I need
My remedy
And I
Can’t stop staring at your eyes
Oh why
Can’t you see I’m right in front of you
And I
Always get sad so take my hand tonight
Tonight
Let’s drive off and drive to paradise
Paradise
The lyrics of "Medicine" by The Wolf convey a sense of longing and dependency on someone as a source of healing and comfort. The singer sees this person as their remedy and compares them to Tylenol, which is commonly used to relieve pain and discomfort. The line "Stuck in bed, Fever to my head, And I got a cold" suggests that the singer is feeling physically unwell, but also metaphorically implies that they are emotionally unwell without this person in their life.
The repetition of the question "Why's it always have to be me" indicates a feeling of frustration and possibly a sense of being unlucky or always ending up in difficult situations. The singer desires for this person to see them and understand their needs, longing for them to be the perfect partner they can rely on and connect with on a deeper level.
The chorus further emphasizes the intense impact this person has on the singer's thoughts and emotions. They constantly think about this person and they become the primary source of their happiness and well-being, hence being referred to as "the only medicine that I need." The repetition of the line "You know you’re always on my mind, I think about you all the time" highlights the constant preoccupation and infatuation the singer feels.
The final section of the lyrics introduces a shift in mood. The singer expresses a plea for this person to notice their presence and declares their willingness to be by their side, offering support during times of sadness. The invitation to drive off to paradise symbolizes a desire to escape from the troubles and find solace in the presence of this person - seeking a harmonious and fulfilling relationship.
Overall, "Medicine" elaborates on the theme of longing, dependency, and the transformative power of love and connection. It portrays the deep impact that one person can have on another's well-being, both physically and emotionally.
