Discover the story of the song > Skills in Pills – Lindemann

The protagonist sings about taking different-colored pills to feel different emotions or sensations. He takes a pill for depression, one for energy, one for self-aggression, one for ecstasy, and others for different reasons. He believes that taking these pills can make all opposite things seem the same, like how black and white become reversed and fast and slow become mixed up. However, at the end of the song, he expresses a desire to die and takes one last pill.
