Take the Pill Lyrics

Cover art for Take the Pill lyrics by Emilie Autumn

To me this song is about Emilie's time in the Mental Hospital (I have not read the book so I dont know about everything, so sorry If I get thing wrong)

Its about how she was made to take medication she didnt want to, but it was forced upon her.

"You no longer rule your body You no longer own those rights You will wake up when we say so You will sleep when we shut out the lights Enjoy your stay… ‘Cause you can’t run away…"

This is saying how she felt she no longer controlled herself, it was the doctors. And how she was told what to do by them, they would tell her when she needs to get up and to sleep, and she couldnt get out.

Whenever she rebelled, she was told in some way to "Get back In line". As there she was expected to do what she was told.

"Take this pill, the Doctor’s standing by Pull up your skirt… And yes, it’s going to hurt…"

This I think is about when she was raped/abused by the doctors inside there.

"Well he’s a Doctor and you are just a crazy fucking bitch… Who would you believe?"

This also saying that no one would believe her over the doctors, as she was just a "crazy little girl" who was not to be believed...
