It seems many people got the meaning wrong about the lyrics of this song, but it's all subjective, so there is no right or wrong opinion technically speaking. Two things may have happened. 1. The kid shoots up his school and dies or gets taken down and arrested (there is no coming home usually from this). Also this one is most unlikely honestly, so consider 2 and 3 2. The kid shoots his dad, then shoots up his school the next day and dies. He isn't shooting up the school first cause he wouldn't be getting back home. Then there is option 3. He doesn't shoot up the school, but does kill the dad with his own gun. So this post may be long, but to start things off, daddy is at work, the young teen is looking through his dads closet and finds the gun and (what else you can imagine) which isn't described as to what else he found, but it's a figure of speech from the singer that can't describe all the crazy things his dad has had in the closet along with the gun. The teen is now considering shooting up the school, and his father, talking to himself and the cigarette as he smokes it. This shows he is at home and is going to wait for his daddy to come home late, the dad is abusive and a drunk, the teen is waiting for the surprise which is his dad beating him or attempting to beat him cause he didn't get dinner ready for dad when arriving, instead dinner is in the freezer in the kitchen on ice and hasn't been started, just to make the dad angry and wanting to beat his son as punishment. However the son is locked and loaded as the lyrics implied (i been waiting for a long time, with the sleight of my hand thats now a trigger) So he's going to shoot the dad first, then return to the school the next day and wreck havoc and shoot the students after dealing with the father. Again the chorus proves the school shooting is going to happen but maybe it didn't and it's just him having fun with twisted thoughts while waiting for his father to come home late. He did shoot his father 1000% as revenge for being abused all those years and had enough of being ordered and bossed around, that's for sure. It's just the school shooting which may or may have not happened and is left up to the listnener or lyric reader to decide. I'm going to say he did go and shoot the school the next day and killed maybe 3 people and then himself. Only part of me that thinks he may have not shot up the school is he has a revolver and not a AR. However, theres been many shootings of mass murder just with hand guns and i think event revolvers, and doesn't need to be like 10 plus people in body count. So after killing the dad, he had 5 bullets left unless he found ammo for a 6th, and then up to 5 targets before shooting himself in school. So his total body count would be around 5. Either way, he killed his dad. |

| Pink – Just Like A Pill Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
Everyone is always going to have a different opinion and interpretation on things. The song is clearly Pink relating pills to a guy she's with. He's a bad pill, she clearly mentions this throughout the song in metaphores. This is definitely 100% about a guy, or a girl. "You're just like a pill" referencing them to being a harmful drug she shouldn't be involved with but is addicted to and has no one to help her. "I haven't moved from the spot where you left me" he hurt her and broke her so much, she refuses to leave, and just takes the punishment although she wants help to get away from him. "It must be a bad trip" shes living in a nightmare with this guy and just waking up to reality that he's using her, and abusing her. I assume the line before where she was laying in the same spot where he left her referenced a violent domestic abuse where he knocked her out cold from beating her "All the other pills, they were different" referring to other men she has dated, or encountered, and this metaphore means he is a bad person compared to the others, but also means he is treating her different because she used "all", so every other guy who dated her, things were typical, but not as bad as this one. It's clear from "she can't stand on his life support" or "morphine" she's obviously dependant on him, whether because shes a drug user, or has nowhere to go regardless, she's dependnant on this person who keeps bringing her down. She tried to call her friends "nurse" but her friend refuses to help her because she's past the point and they probably tried to help her before. Her only option now is to just run from him as fast as she can but that leads to the middle of nowhere, and she goes right back to him cause shes dependant. |
