The cure & the cause
Tracey K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your touch pours like honey on my skin, smooth it lingers
You, the cure the 'cause, of my blues
My only flaw
Your sea it can freezing, I thought I'd float
I sink deeper blue, by you I'm consumed
Oh I'm such a fool thinking I won't get caught in your downhill flow
And you, the cure and the 'cause of my blues
My only flaw
You keep needing, keep calling
The cure and the cause
You keep needing, keep calling
The cure and the cause
You keep needing, keep calling
Even from a shut door
You step from view
Can still see you, your shadow tells me more
Don't take your love away, your love away
And you, the cure and the cause
Of my blues
My only flaw
Don't take your love away, your love away
Cure me, cure me
Cure me, please cure me
Just a few things before I head on my way
You are wonderful and good when you want to be
You are what I want but not what I need
And you are no good for me
But you are the cure, oh yeah, and you are the 'cause of my blues
Cure me, cure me
The lyrics of Tracey K's song The Cure & The Cause explore the complexity of a toxic, addictive relationship. The first verse describes the seductive nature of the person the singer is involved with. They provide sweetness and easily draw the singer in, their touch feeling like honey on their skin. However, the chorus reveals the darker side of this relationship. The subject is both the cause and the cure of the singer's blues, suggesting they are the source of both pain and comfort. The second verse highlights the destruction that the relationship brings with it, with the singer sinking deeper and being consumed by the person they are with. They see their own foolishness in thinking they won't get caught in their "downhill flow."
The song talks about the power dynamic in addictive relationships, where one person is constantly needing and calling the other. Even when they step out of view, their presence can still be felt, as their shadow tells the singer more about them. The final verse acknowledges that although the subject is wonderful when they want to be, they are not what the singer needs and are ultimately no good for them. Despite this, the song ends on a desperate plea for the subject to not take their love away, leaving the listener with an unsettling sense of the cycle of addiction and desire that the relationship brings.
Overall, The Cure & The Cause is a haunting examination of the seductive grip of a toxic relationship on the human psyche.
