Modern Chemistry Lyrics
i believe in medication
and i believe in therapy
and i believe in crystal light
'cause i believe in me, yeah
it's so uplifting, fuck yeah
i barely have motivation
they say i suffer from a lack of serotonin
synapses they happen too infrequently for me
to be functioning properly
i took the pills
i took the advice
the panic stopped
but i'm still not right
racing thoughts and wasted time
it's the same old story-line
this is my nursery rhyme
and it goes:
i believe in medication
and i believe in therapy
and i believe in crystal light
'cause i believe in me, yeah
it's so uplifting, fuck yeah
i'm barely off the medication
and now the walls are closing in again
i can't breathe and i can't bleed
will you be my alibi?
tell them that i truly tried...
to give in?
whoa whoa...
and i believe in therapy
and i believe in crystal light
'cause i believe in me, yeah
it's so uplifting, fuck yeah
they say i suffer from a lack of serotonin
synapses they happen too infrequently for me
to be functioning properly
i took the advice
the panic stopped
but i'm still not right
racing thoughts and wasted time
it's the same old story-line
this is my nursery rhyme
and it goes:
and i believe in therapy
and i believe in crystal light
'cause i believe in me, yeah
it's so uplifting, fuck yeah
and now the walls are closing in again
i can't breathe and i can't bleed
will you be my alibi?
tell them that i truly tried...
to give in?

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
this song is about how people can try to solve your depression, but depression is a feeling not some sort of disease, you can try to take medication to cure it but it will always come back and hit you hard, the only way to escape it temporarily is by taking the drugs....he's saying that he tried to get better but no matter how much help he got he still ended up back in the same place
I think "I believe in crystal light, because I believe in me" means that he knows he's a fake, (crystal light is fake, and pretty gross actually). I don't know if that was obvious...or if my mind is totally screwed up.
if you don't like this song don't comment and use the spare time to grow up?
depression seems right. "and now the walls are closing in again" the feeling of isolation and complete loneliness which people suffering from depression experience.
I just got the CD today... I absolutely adore this song. As for meanings... well, it's pretty obviously about depression. About overcoming it with pills and shit. But yeah... awesome song.
bloodkid, a lot of this cd is about his battle with depression. I'm sure that whole thing about what x does to you is true, but yea, that's not what the song's about.
Serotonin is a chemical in your brain. "Lack of serotonin is believed to play an important part of the biochemistry of depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety."
and a synapse is a nerve impulse
it has nothing to do with exstacy...I don't think he'd be refering to therapy and medication if it was
yeah. i\'m with you guys. depression is written all over it. therepy&meds= depression. its clear.
hyperaphia you officially suck.
Fucking amazing song about the experience of depression.
It seems like it's about depression, with the "medication" and "therapy".
But I know that people with ADD or ADHD also "suffer from a lack of serotonin". Don't believe me? Look it up.
"Racing thoughs and wasted time It's the same old story-line This is my nursery rhyme"
Racing thoughts are something a person with ADD experiences and wasted time also happens, since they can't keep track of anything, including time. The same old story-line means that people with ADD seem like these things happen ALL the time, it's their whole life story. And the nursery rhyme could be related to people with ADD because often kids experience the disorder, and a nursery rhyme is said to kids, and an adult with ADD might be treated or looked as a kid.
That's how I see it. Anyone else agree?
