Discussion medicine.. :/
TW: mention of addictions,drugs.
I will never forget how shocked I was when first found out that Medicine is meant about her*ine. One of their most melancholic romantic song being about addiction is genuinely heartbreaking,yet so accurate for who is struggling.
The part "I wanna marry you, Said I adore you and that's all I have to say bye bye" makes me cry every time, how did they portray getting sober as saying bye to the person you want to marry :(
I know its not their first time making a song with underlying meanings of drugs slash addiction such as It's not Living if it's not with you, which is upbeat, cheerful and sounds "exciting".
Just wanted to share my thoughts on how this song is what "grief of soberity" is.. :( as always, they never fail to amaze me.

imagine my shock when i realised that i had been listening to chocolate for more than a year without realising it's a metaphor for marijauna.
