PILL BREAKER
blackbear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah

Even when I'm not around
Said I'll pill you up with love when you feel down
Until the day we drown
Said I'll pill you up with love when you feel down
When you feel down
When you feel down (down)
When you feel down, until the day we drown (down)
Said I'll pill you up with love when you feel down

I just put my heart up on my sleeve, make it fashion
I just checked up on my ex, still cappin'
What happened? Put you in the past but the pain is everlastin'
We just split a Xanny, everything was moving fast
But now it's kinda slow
Sit you in this drop, girl, we gotta go
Blurry lights, I'm going 'round the turns
Lipstick stains on my Margiela shirt
Pill you up with love, anything you need
This that type of shit that make my legs fall asleep
Always leaving, always in a rush
City sleeping, I'll be staying up 'cause

Even when I'm not around
Said I'll pill you up with love when you feel down
Until the day we drown
Said I'll pill you up with love when you feel down
When you feel down
When you feel down (down)
When you feel down, until the day we drown (down)
Said I'll pill you up with love when you feel down

It's purple in my 7UP
I'm hurting, this is not enough (hurting, I can't fix it, oh)
I ate a Percocet for lunch (pop that perky, yeah)
I'm in heaven off this angel dust
I woke up in a red room, she did a white line
I'm in a dark place, I'm in the spotlight
Long sleeves cover the scars, dark circles under my eyes, yeah
I'm faded, it's late and I'm still awake, trying to find help
Told her, "I'll kill everybody you love
Just so that I can have you to myself"

Even when I'm not around
Said I'll pill you up with love when you feel down
Until the day we drown
Said I'll pill you up with love when you feel down
When you feel down
When you feel down (down)




When you feel down, until the day we drown (down)
Said I'll pill you up with love when you feel down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "PILL BREAKER" by blackbear delve into the singer's complicated relationship with drugs, emotional pain, and love. The title itself is a play on words, combining the concepts of pill-popping and breaking free from the cycle of addiction. The song captures the singer's commitment to helping their partner find solace and validation through love, even in their darkest moments.


The lyrics describe the singer's willingness to be there for their partner, promising to "pill you up with love" when they're feeling down. The use of the word "pill" is symbolic, representing both the act of numbing pain through drugs and the singer's attempt to replace that numbing sensation with love. The repeated phrase "Until the day we drown" suggests that they will continue to provide love and support until the end, even if it means losing themselves in the process.


The second verse touches on the singer's own struggles with emotional pain and drug use. They mention checking up on their ex, highlighting the toxic cycle of trying to find closure through past relationships. The reference to splitting a Xanax pill and the line "This that type of shit that make my legs fall asleep" further emphasize the self-destructive tendencies and emotional escape associated with drugs. The verse also alludes to the singer's need for constant stimulation, expressed through the fast-paced lifestyle and the blurry lights of the city.


In the bridge, the lyrics become more intense and introspective. The singer mentions consuming drugs like Percocet and angel dust, indicating a deeper need for escape and comfort. The reference to waking up in a red room and doing a white line represents the contrast between their hidden struggles (represented by the red room) and their public persona (represented by the spotlight). The mention of self-harm scars and dark circles under their eyes further portrays the toll that their emotional pain has taken on them.


Overall, "PILL BREAKER" explores the complex relationship between drugs, emotional pain, and love. It delves into the destructive cycles of addiction and the singer's attempt to break free from them by offering love and support to their partner. The lyrics offer a glimpse into the inner turmoil and vulnerability of someone who is grappling with their own pain while also trying to provide comfort to another.
