Rx Queen is about humanity's addiction to modern medicine. In the opening lyrics it states, "I won't stop following you," implying humanity's constant following and desire for new cures and medicines, and "The death of everything new," which implies the death of every new disease or illness. When it says "You're my girl and that's alright, If you sting me I won't mind," it is talking about the sting of shot or vaccine. Later in the song it states, "I'll steal a carcass for you, to feed off the virus." This lyric is talking about how we'll do anything for the advancement of modern medicine, even sell our dead (carcass) to science for medicine. This also goes with the "feed off the virus" part because we stave off the effects of viruses with medicine. Finally, let's look at the title, "Rx Queen." The "Rx" or modern medicine IS our queen. "She" controls everything humans do nowadays. For example, the Covid-19 pandemic. We all depended on a vaccine or medicine to save us, and pledged our allegiance to it. We all are a slave to modern medicine and cures.
