Medicine is the title track on Baby Queen’s debut EP. It was originally released on August 27th, 2020.
Discussing the inspiration for the song with NME, Latham stated:
“I’ve been on anti-depressants since I was 16 and then I went off them for a little while and then started taking them again, and I...
[Verse 1]
I used to want to die
But now I want to live forever
I've got friends online
And they know me better than I know myself
And I don't cry
Because my medication confiscates emotions, now I can't play with my feelings
So I go outside
And I talk about the weather
[Pre-Chorus]
Well the sky is blue, and the leaves are green
I'm an atheist, so I don't believe, but
[Chorus]
Thank God for my medicine
I feel so apathetic when
I take my medicine
And it's in my head again
Thank God for my medicinе
I feel so much better, and
If it wasn't for my medicinе
I'd wanna be dead again
[Verse 2]
I could never stay awake
But now I'm staring at the ceiling
Oh, you think I've lost weight?
Gee thanks, I didn't even have to try, I just forgot I hadn't eaten
And my heart can't break
Because my medication confiscated sex, now I don't fancy anybody
And my life is great, because it is devoid of meaning
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm happy I was born and I don't care why
And I never used to pray but I may as well try
[Chorus]
Thank God for my medicine
I feel so apathetic when
I take my medicine
And it's in my head again
Thank God for my medicine
I feel so much better, and
If it wasn't for my medicine
I'd wanna be dead again
[Bridge]
Oh, my God, I love my medicine
Oh, my God, there's nothing better than medicine
If it wasn't for my medicine (Oh, my God)
I'd wanna be dead again
(I don't feel sad, I just feel numb)
Oh my God, I love my medicine
Oh my God, there's nothing better than medicine
If it wasn't for my medicine (Oh, my God)
I'd wanna be dead again (I don't feel sad, I just feel numb)
[Chorus]
Thank God for my medicine
I feel so apathetic when
I take my medicine
And it's in my head again
Thank God for my medicine
I feel so much better, and
If it wasn't for my medicine
I'd wanna be dead again
