You're The Doctor
Ty Segall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, you people gonna make me cry, soon (?)
There's a problem in my brain, there's a problem in my brain
There's a problem in my brain, there's a problem in my brain
Oh, you're the doctor, oooh
In the center of my heart, all you people gonna make me fall apart
'Cause there's a problem in my brain, there's a problem in my brain
There's a problem in my brain, there's a problem in my brain
Oh, you're the doctor, oooh
The lyrics to Ty Segall's song "You're The Doctor" seem to be about someone who is struggling with mental health and feels overwhelmed by the people around them. The repetition of "there's a problem in my brain" implies that the person is aware that they are experiencing some sort of issue but they may not be sure what it is exactly. The lyrics suggest that the people around them are exacerbating the problem and causing them distress.
The chorus of the song, "Oh, you're the doctor," could be interpreted in a number of ways. It might mean that the person is looking for help and sees the people around them as potential sources of assistance. On the other hand, the phrase could be sarcastic, with the person feeling like the people around them are acting like they have all the answers and are in control, when in reality they have no idea what's going on.
Overall, "You're The Doctor" is a haunting and introspective song that wrestles with themes of mental health and personal struggle. It's a powerful track that showcases Ty Segall's ability to create music that is both challenging and cathartic.
