Pill
cut.rate.box Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Little girl older than time
Eternal compressed desire
Older than time can hold me

What's this all about
You want to twist and shout
You want to kick and scream
You want to cause a scene
Wasn't this what you want your innocence
All a front and love is just a game

Unholy intercession
Future black and fading fast
Tied down to a simple progression
This is not the me of years of past

So this is how it goes
From your head to your toes
I'm gonna bind you tight and fill you with my delight
I want to jump in your pyre




I want to burn with desire
As we set the sun on fire

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Cut.Rate.Box's song "Pill" can be interpreted in several ways, but it seems to be about someone struggling with the consequences of their actions and desires. The opening lines, "Little girl older than time, eternal compressed desire, older than time can hold me," suggest that the person feels weighed down by their own desires and the consequences of indulging them. They feel like their desires are timeless and cannot be contained or controlled.


The second stanza plays with the idea of innocence and love being just a game. The lines, "Wasn't this what you want your innocence, all a front and love is just a game," suggest that the person may have pretended to be innocent or pure but really craves excitement and thrills. The lines "You want to twist and shout, you want to kick and scream, you want to cause a scene," further emphasize this desire for excitement.


The third stanza describes a feeling of being trapped and tied down, with the lines "unholy intercession, future black and fading fast, tied down to a simple progression, this is not the me of years of past." This could be interpreted as the person feeling like they have made decisions that they are now stuck with, and the weight of those decisions is dragging them down.


The final stanza, however, seems to embrace this desire for excitement and passion, with lines like "I want to jump in your pyre, I want to burn with desire, as we set the sun on fire." It's almost like the person is accepting that they can't resist their desires and wants to embrace them fully.


Overall, the lyrics in "Pill" paint a picture of someone struggling with their own desires and the consequences that come with indulging them. The song seems to simultaneously acknowledge the weight of those desires while also embracing them as an inevitable part of life.

How can I evenly cut a small pill into fourths without crumbling it? Thanks for the video

Rich Davis

If your pill cutter doesn't do the job cleanly, you could always try another one. In my experience, the less I try, the easier it goes sometimes. I have been known to bite my pills in half and they split very nicely that way. Best wishes to you. Rich😊

JNAUR

Hi just be sure that the pills you are cutting are meant to be cut. Some pills have a coating on them and cutting those style pills isn't recommended

JRLM

That looks like generic viagra 😂
