Discover the story of the song > Medicate – Afi

The lyrics are about a person who wants to be with someone every day and change time together. But it seems like everyone has left and the person thinks it's time to do something bad. The person calls this bad thing a "perfect crime" and says it's their medicine. They want to "medicate" the other person with them. The person realizes that the other person doesn't know their name and it makes them sad. They think that every time they meet someone, they will leave. They think the other person is perfect even though they were never theirs. The person asks if the other person can describe what it feels like and if it hurts, because they feel nothing. They want to pretend that what they're feeling is real. In the end, they want to "medicate" the other person with them again and not care that the other person doesn't know their name.
