PILLS
mary is Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I was thinking maybe I'd go to the party
I was thinking
Maybe I'd hide in the corner and watch the floor
Just a little more, I need it
If it's hungry, why not feed it?
From underwater, watch it pour

The hardest pill to swallow
Grab a handful, wait for tomorrow Do you have a home I could borrow?
I wanna inhabit a new space
The hardest pill to swallow
I'll drink some water tomorrow
Do you have a shell I could borrow?
Don't want the world to see my face

I was thinking maybe
We could go our separate ways and still be fine
I was thinking I could hold on
To your hand till I felt the time was right
It'll never be the right time
You have to learn to read your own signs
I did my best to ignore mine

But you cannot fight the feeling, you have to hurt to get to healing
I wanna know, I wanna know,
I wanna know that I'm alright
I wanna know that I'm alive

The hardest pill to swallow
Grab a handful, wait for tomorrow Do you have a home I could borrow?
I wanna inhabit a new space
The hardest pill to swallow




Get it down, let it drown in your sorrow
Do you have a pen I could borrow? I'll write you a note that says we're okay

Overall Meaning

In the song "Pills" by Mary 1s, the lyrics paint a picture of someone feeling conflicted and lost, seeking solace in temporary escapes and distractions. The singer contemplates going to a party but ultimately decides to hide in a corner and observe, hinting at a desire to disconnect from reality and numb their emotions. The notion of "feeding" the emptiness inside suggests a craving for something to fill a void, even if it's only momentarily satisfying. The imagery of being underwater and watching things pour adds to the sense of being overwhelmed and disconnected from the world.


The chorus repeats the idea of the "hardest pill to swallow," emphasizing the difficulty of facing one's problems head-on. The mention of grabbing a handful and waiting for tomorrow implies a sense of resignation and avoidance of dealing with issues in the present. The longing for a home to borrow and a new space to inhabit suggests a desire for escape and a fresh start, away from the pain and struggles of the current situation. The reluctance to show one's face to the world hints at a fear of vulnerability and judgment.


The singer muses on the possibility of parting ways with someone while holding onto them until the right moment presents itself, highlighting a struggle with letting go and moving on. The acknowledgment that it may never be the right time to make a change underscores the complexity of navigating relationships and emotions. The reference to ignoring personal signs and the inevitability of feeling pain before finding healing conveys a poignant message about the necessity of facing one's challenges and accepting discomfort in order to grow.


The repeated desire to know that one is alright and alive reflects a longing for reassurance and validation amidst uncertainty and turmoil. The closing lines about writing a note to affirm that everything is okay suggests a facade of peace and resolution, masking deeper struggles and unresolved emotions. Overall, the lyrics of "Pills" delve into themes of internal conflict, escapism, emotional turmoil, and the longing for acceptance and understanding in the face of overwhelming challenges.
