Ever feel like you are stuck in a never-ending cycle or trapped in your own thoughts? This tune from Broken Bells captures that vibe perfectly. The lyrics paint a picture of feeling imprisoned by daily life and the confusion of what’s real. It's like they’re pointing out how we sometimes avoid confronting our issues head-on, thinking small fixes or distractions will solve things. The song hints that true freedom and clarity come from facing your problems and "taking your medicine"—essentially, dealing with your struggles directly. The repeated "hoo, haha" feels almost like a mantra, reminding us to let go and breathe. Overall, it's a reminder that while the world might feel chaotic, facing our issues is the only way to truly move forward.
Medicine
Lyrics
This ordinary room is turning
Into something of a prison, oh
And the only thing we know for certain
Is that don't nobody know
You think all of this is real
That's why you never try
To get it down or will it up
It's a shame
Hoo, haha, hoo, haha
Hoo, haha, hoo, haha
Not another lonely evening
When you stay you're not counting omens
When the morning isn't so disturbing actually
Just won't let it go
You think cutting gives you license (license)
To do anything at all (anything)
But you got to take your medicine (medicine)
To allow your hands to lose that grip and let it fall
Hoo, haha, hoo, haha
Hoo, haha, hoo, haha
It's a wonder anyone can breathe you
With a smoke too thick to cough
So we fallin' as we run for cover
From the bombs we're setting off
You think cutting gives you license (license)
To do anything at all (anything)
But you got to take your medicine (medicine)
To allow your hands to lose that grip and let it fall
Hoo, haha, hoo, haha
Hoo, haha, hoo, haha (allow your hands to lose that grip and let it fall)
So we watch another good day fading
How we gonna leave the hangman hanging
Girl, one day you know it all melts in your breath
Hoo, haha, hoo, haha
Hoo, haha, hoo, haha
Hoo, haha, hoo, haha
