“The Medicine Wears Off” is a brief, but surreal interlude of sorts. The track’s transition from quiet guitar to tormented instrumentals mirrors the narrator’s liberation across the lyrics. Whether he is liberated from the haze of drugs or ignorance remains up to the listener to tell.
[Verse 1]
See what I get
When the medicine wears off
You're moving fast
Try a little, see if I can make the moment last
You'll burn, you'll light up like a star
You'll break this heart you hold
[Verse 2]
Now you're coming 'round
You're taken by the wonder of it all
Where are you now?
Longing for a state of mind
Oh, I remember why we started blocking all we said
[Chorus]
See what I get
When the medicine wears off
See what I get
When the medicine wears off
