Just Like a Pill
Pink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I took too much
I'm crying here, what have you done?
I thought it would be fun
I can't stay on your life support
There's a shortage in the switch
I can't stay on your morphine
I said I tried to call the nurse again
But she's bein' a little bitch
I think I'll get outta here
Where I can run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
'Stead of makin' me better
You keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill
I haven't moved from the spot where you left me
This must be a bad trip
All of the other pills, they were different
Maybe I should get some help
I can't stay on your life support
There's a shortage in the switch
I can't stay on your morphine
'Cause it's making me itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again
But she's bein' a little bitch
I think I'll get outta here
Where I can run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
'Stead of makin' me better
You keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
'Stead of makin' me better
You keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill
I can't stay on your life support
There's a shortage in the switch (just like a pill)
I can't stay on your morphine
'Cause it's making me itch (just like a pill)
I said I tried to call the nurse again
But she's bein' a little bitch (just like a pill)
I think I'll get outta here
Where I can run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears (frustrated, frustrated fears)
And I swear you're just like a pill
'Stead of makin' me better
You keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me-
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
'Stead of makin' me better
You keep makin' me ill (you're makin' me, makin' me ill)
You keep makin' me-
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears (yeah)
And I swear you're just like a pill (yeah)
'Stead of makin' me better
You keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill (oh, you're makin' me run)
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
The lyrics to Pink's song Just Like A Pill explore the singer's complicated relationship with a person she compares to medicine, both in its healing properties and its negative side effects. She describes being on the floor, crying and feeling like she's had too much of something. The person who she is addressing seems to be suffocating her with their attention, making her feel like she can't breathe.
Pink then sings that she can't stay on this person's "life support" because there's a "shortage in the switch," meaning there's not enough support to go around. She also can't stay on their "morphine" because it's "making [her] itch." She tries to call for help, but the person who she's calling is "being a little bitch." Pink finally decides to get out of there and "run just as fast as [she] can," to "the middle of nowhere, to the middle of [her] frustrated fears."
Throughout the song, Pink draws a direct comparison between this person and a pill, stating that instead of making her better, they keep making her ill. The lyrics suggest that Pink is trapped in a toxic relationship and feels like she needs to escape to find some relief.
Overall, Just Like A Pill is a powerful expression of Pink's ability to articulate complex emotions and relationship dynamics through her lyrics. It's a song that resonates with people who have experienced relationship turmoil and highlights the healing power of music.

@@georgejrivera3388 We “admire” their "beauty" of the rich and famous. Are they truly beautiful? as they seem to have:
- hoofs for the legs
- bald heads
- animal faced /birds, dogs, wolves , you name it)
- tails
- horns
(Channels which share knowledge about this topic:

But they "look" human?. Sure they do. They must hide, of we would kill them as we would then know, who they are (offspring of Cain = the cursed bloodline)
But they "look" human?. - it is just an illusion.
What`s underneath the illusion? - didn`t you already get a picture?
Ever noticed that every singer has at least 1 dark song?
Could it be, they sharing their experience after signing the blood contract?
M J – has “thriller”
K P – has “wide awake”
Ever tested your ears? To see to these truly hear?
The same with your eye? To see to these truly see?
As BIBLE also reminds us and asking from us:
Mark 7:16
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Mark 8:18
Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
1 Corinthians 14:38
But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
