Medicine
t.ok Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the sins of my youth well they did not pass
Up the tree, up to me, no I've changed my act
I don't dwell in the darkness, walk a different path
But the truth is it hides underneath my pride
Coyote, behind me, waiting, matching me stride for stride
So slowly it seeps into my soul and actions I do
I'm feeding the wrong wolf destruction will soon ensue
There's a shadowy darkness, self-judgment that's killing we
So we lean towards the things that our culture tells us we need
Overcompensating with lying, power, and greed
But there's a song in the wind coming through to those who will hear
A call to loving kindness for you truly sincere
Said there's a song in the wind coming through to those who will hear
A call to loving kindness for you truly sincere
'Cause with no, no honesty
Or love for who we have been
There's a door creaking open now
For a spiritual reckoning
It's a spiritual reckoning
So heed the call
You've got the remedy
Stand in light of all that you are
Heed the call
You've got the remedy
Open hearts facing sun
Music is the medicine and
Dance is how you swallow so
Throw your head back let it in
Dance your truth and
Embrace all your shame and guilt
For darkness cannot follow
Those who shine their light within
Love yourself and
So love yourself
You've got the remedy
Stand in light
Of all that you are
Free yourself
Speak truth to your darkness
Show your scars
They made up your world
Tell yourself
You are not your mistakes
Find the light
Building within
Trust yourself
Your body won't let you down
Your strength is yet
Unknown to you
Music is the medicine and
Dance is how you swallow so
Throw your head back let it in
Dance your truth and
Embrace all your shame and guilt
For darkness cannot follow
Those who shine their light within
Love yourself and
'Cause with no, no honesty
Or love for who we have been
There's a door creaking open now
For a spiritual reckoning
It's a spiritual reckoning
The lyrics to T.Ok's song "Medicine" speak to the struggle of mental health and the reliance on medication to cope with the symptoms. The first verse begins with the plea for pills to combat sleeplessness and paranoia, where the individual feels as though they have insects crawling under their skin. The repetition of "Give me pills" emphasizes the desperation for relief from these overwhelming feelings. The second verse speaks to the use of medication in children, where they are given drugs to help them cope with the trauma of finding friends and family under the influence of drugs, as well as being lost in their own minds. The repeated line of "We'll give them pills for this" shows the normalization of medication as a solution to these issues.
The chorus, "Give me pills / For the drive / For the night / Give them pills / For the kids / We'll give them pills / We'll give them pills for this" underscores the sentiment that medication is the answer to all of life's struggles. The final line, "We'll give them pills for this," feels like a resignation that medication is the only solution to these problems, rather than exploring other avenues for healing and coping.
Overall, the lyrics of "Medicine" paint a bleak picture of mental health and the reliance on medication in society. T.Ok highlights the desperation and hopelessness that many individuals face when dealing with these challenges and the normalization of depending on drugs as a solution.
