about

Despite having experienced severe depression since I was 15 years old, I’ve always been hesitant to take meds for it. Perhaps because of internalized stigma, as well as lack of information. After struggling with depression during a particularly difficult year, a friend told me 'maybe your brain just doesn’t produce as much serotonin as other people. You deserve to live a life at more than 50%.' It was the final push I needed; I got on meds and felt my mental health significantly change. “Medication” is inspired by me processing my own journey to becoming a healthier version of myself.

lyrics

I was scared of what it meant
If I needed medicine
Just to feel like me again and keep my demons in
Every now and then
‘Cause I remember when I thrived
Now I’m just trying to survive
It’s like I tripped and took a dive into another life
That doesn’t feel like mine

But now I’m tired of sitting aimless and drifting
Trying to turn off the lights
And only taking off my clothes far from the windows
Keeping away from your sight

So now I’m dropping the weight of the earth
Just long enough to give me a rebirth
‘Cause I deserve to be well, yeah, I deserve to be well
And maybe I do not have enough strength
For more than a couple of steps in a day
But I deserve to be well, yeah, I deserve to be well
I’m climbing up out of this hell

I’ve been fogging up the glass
While the thunder starts to crash
But the storm has never passed, so if I am gonna last
I gotta get out fast

And I am hungry and restless, dreaming of exits
Climbing the gates of my mind
And I am thinking of futures, reaching of sutures
Trying to reclaim my time

And now I’m dropping the weight of the earth
Just long enough to give me a rebirth
‘Cause I deserve to be well, yeah, I deserve to be well
And maybe I do not have enough strength
For more than a couple of steps in a day
But I deserve to be well, yeah, I deserve to be well
I’m climbing up out of this hell

And growing old
And growing up
Being alone without being stuck
Lost control
Fall in love
Making my way and my own luck

Dropping the weight of the earth
Just long enough to give me a rebirth
‘Cause I deserve to be well, yeah, I deserve to be well
And maybe I do not have enough strength
For more than a couple of steps in a day
But I deserve to be well, yeah, I deserve to be well
I’m climbing up out of this hell
I’m climbing up out of this hell
I’m climbing up out of this hell
