PILLS
Victory Season Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your world comes crashing down
You forget your problems
When your new friends come around
Because you can't let them down
But they won't let you out
And their needing you now...
Take one to forget it all and all
From June until December
You know it goes on and on and on...
So your old friends tell you
You've forgotten who you are
And you know you feel it
But you've already come to far...
Cause you can't let them down
But they won't let you out
And you're needing them now
Take one to remember
Take one to forget it all and all
From June until December
You know it goes on and on and on...
Take one to remember
Take one to forget it all
When you start to surrender
Take on for the fall...
Don't say it's not your problem
Don't say you'll stop after this one
Don't say you've got a handle
Your lies go on and on and on
Don't say it's not your problem
Don't say you'll stop after this one
Don't say you've got a handle
You know it's not just for fun...
Remember the time
As you rewind your mind
To the days when nothing hurt you
Finally you smile but it just lasts awhile
Then it stops.
Take one to remember
Take one to forget it all and all
From June until December
You know it goes on and on and on...
Take one to remember
Take one to forget it all
When you start to surrender
Take on for the fall...
When you start to surrender
Take on for the fall...

But now, even when they try to smile, it only lasts for a brief moment before the weight of their addiction returns.

To the days when you were happy and carefree
Finally you smile but it just lasts awhile
Finally, you smile, but it doesn't last long
Then it stops.
Then the happiness disappears
