Story Behind the Song
This song depicts life through the eyes of a person suffering from Manic Depression. The music starts off in the “Down” period. When the third verse hits, the music represents the “normal\even” phase of Manic Depression. The guitar solo is a clear depiction of the incredible “high” a Manic Depressive encounters. Loop the whole thing around and around and you have life as a Manic Depressive .
A Manic Depressive who’s relationship ended because of his girlfriends’ friends pressuring her. A short song about a true story.
Lyrics
Pills
The jury’s voted, the verdict is in
let the man go, be a free woman
that’s me, out in the streets
messed up and angry, with a disease
sometimes I wish I’d just die
instead of takin these pills
Living up, living Down
it’s hard to live when your mind spins around
left to left, right to right
sleep all day and up all night
sometimes I wish I’d just die
instead of taking these pills
And I have quit, given my will
that’s how it is in life by the pill
yes I’m Manic, don’t you panic
I see you point, and I see you laugh
sometimes I wish I’d just die
instead of taking these pills
The jury’s voted, the verdict is in
let the man go, be a free woman
that’s me, out in the streets
messed up and angry, with a disease
sometimes I wish I’d just die
instead of takin these pills
