Medisin Lyrics
What great risk to truly live
We could die alone
Our self-proclaimed meaning of bliss is getting what we're owed.
It's always getting what we're owed
I am like a machine, all that I really need is medicine and then I'll fall fast asleep
In my dreamlike state, I'll pretend I'm unscathed
but when I wake up, my resilience fades
When I wake up, my resilience fades
How long?
I know there's more to life than slavery
I'm tired of dying
I know there's more to life than drinking this soul-sick medicine
Oh no, no I'll never listen to what I'm told
At twenty-four, you'd think I'd hold my speech
Instead, I'll mix you a cocktail,
some truth and some slander
and never practice what I preach
I never practice what I preach
I know there's more to life
We could die alone
Our self-proclaimed meaning of bliss is getting what we're owed.
It's always getting what we're owed
I am like a machine, all that I really need is medicine and then I'll fall fast asleep
In my dreamlike state, I'll pretend I'm unscathed
but when I wake up, my resilience fades
When I wake up, my resilience fades
How long?
I'm tired of dying
I know there's more to life than drinking this soul-sick medicine
At twenty-four, you'd think I'd hold my speech
Instead, I'll mix you a cocktail,
some truth and some slander
and never practice what I preach
I never practice what I preach

In an interview with The Classic Crime's frontman/vocalist Matt MacDonald, he was asked the story behind the song "Medisin"
Matt: "There's a couple songs that are about addiction or about using a substance to escape, which could be really anything, but this specifically talks about drinking and as an escape from truly living, because truly living to your full capacity is kind of terrifying because of the sacrifices you need to make. It's kind of about that, it's kind of about a longing for something more in just day to day life and the ups and downs and a longing, I think, is in everybody's heart, as humans for a higher power or some sort of sense of what's going on because nobody really knows. That's what that song's about."
This has to be the most Emo and Hardcore song on the album. It's just the best and the lyics are just WOW.
i think the meaning is similar to 'God and Drugs' only this is about alcohol and how it phases you into something terrible. he knows that it needs to stop before it kills him. that there's more to life than this soul-sick medicine
this song is amazing, raw & powerful
Best song on the cd... Well maybe Salt in the Snow too
Most of their Songs are about life and the hard times we go thought.
Awesome voice.. throughout the whole song but especially in the first verse.
