Pennyroyal Tea Lyrics

Lyric discussion by timone1007 

Cover art for Pennyroyal Tea lyrics by Nirvana

"Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea" -rewrite for methadon, a strong opioid antagonistic medical agent

"Distill the life that's inside of me"

  • opioids & heroin are known for keeping you "young looking" - if it wasnt for the life that often goes hand in hand with most drug users.

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea "I'm anemic royalty"

  • I feel like a king but im really nothing at all, like a man without blood, without life

"I'm on warm milk and laxatives Cherry-flavored antacids"

-a usual diet while in heavy heroin & or methadon use,

  • Cherry-flavored a well known flavour that methadon is available in.

This whole song is about methadon use i belive.

My Opinion

@timone1007 I’m a heroin addict. Heroin certainly does NOT make you look young. I’m not sure where you got that notion. But it ages you, if it doesn’t kill you first.
