#rx (medicate)

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hey! I saw an ask about a song that seemed like Johnlock, and it made me think of a song that reminded me of Sherlock! At least the chorus does. I just wanted to show it to someone and see what they think! It's called Rx (Medicate) by Theory of a Deadman. Give it a listen! Much love! <3

[Verse 1]Wake up to a cloudy dayDark rolls in, and it starts to rainStaring out to the cage-like wallsTime goes by and the shadows crawlCrushing candy, crushing pillsGot no job, mom pays my billsTexting exes, get my fillSweating bullets, Netflix chillsWorld’s out there singing the bluesTwenty more dead on the evening newsThink to myself: “Really, what’s the use?”I’m just like you, I was born to lose[Pre-Chorus 1]Why, oh, why can’t you just fix me?When all I want’s to feel numbBut the medication’s all goneWhy, oh, why does God hate me?When all I want’s to get highAnd forget this so-called life[Chorus]I am so frickin’ boredNothing to do todayI guess I’ll sit around and medicate (medicate)I am so frickin’ boredNothing to do todayI guess I’ll sit around and medicate (medicate)[Verse 2]Can’t wait to feel better than I ever willAttack that shit like a kid on BenadrylChase it down with a hopeful smileHate myself, I can go for milesThey say family’s all you needSomeone to trust who can help you breatheInhale that drug, but you start to chokeYou fall on the outs of an inside joke[Pre-Chorus 2]Why, oh, why can’t you just fix me?When all I want’s to feel numbBut the medication’s all goneWhy, oh, why does God hate me?Cause I’ve seen enough of it, heard enough of it, felt enough of itHad enough of it![Chorus]I am so frickin’ boredNothing to do todayI guess I’ll sit around and medicate (medicate)I am so frickin’ boredNothing to do todayI guess I’ll sit around and medicate (medicate)[Bridge]Superman is a heroBut only when his mind is clear, thoughHe needs that fix like the rest of usSo he’s got no fear when he saves that busAll the stars in the Hollywood HillsSnapchat live while they pop them pillsAll those flavors of the rainbowToo bad that shit don’t work though[Post-Bridge]Your friends are high right nowYour parents are high right nowThat hot chick’s high right nowThat cop is high right nowThe president’s high right nowYour priest is high right nowEveryone’s high as fuck right nowAnd no one’s ever coming down![Chorus]I am so frickin’ boredNothing to do todayI guess I’ll sit around and medicate (medicate)I am so frickin’ boredNothing to do todayI guess I’ll sit around and medicate (medicate)[Outro]I medicate

I know this song is obviously about drugs like canabis and so on... But the more often i listen to this song, the more i feel like this song has another meaning. I feel like the drugs he sings about are smartphones and social media. Thats something really everyone is adicted to. We use our smartphone all the time, we are online all the time. Snapchat, Candycrush, Texting, Netflix... It says it in the lyrics. ... When we are bored and got nothing to do, we medicate - with our smartphones! To see something different than the grey real world. (But it also makes us sick) The 2nd verse maybe could describe a videogame addiction, which also can happen through smartphones (candycrush game) ... Whenever I hear this song there is a movie, like my own better musicvideo,  in my head. Before the 2nd refrain i imagine myself hit my phone on the floor and break it. Then I see people just watching at their phones, even in the car. Which causes an accident. When there comes the part about superman: Imagine superman standing on a high building with his smartphone posting on facebook he saves that whoman for 5k likes. Down there everybody is filming whats happening and posting it on instagram, also begging for likes... Everybody is just about that high of socialmedia today. Your friends, parents, cops, the president. Everybody hanging on their phones! .. When the last refrain comes I imagine everybody going to a rehab, needing a therapy because of their phone and internet addiction. ... Man, imagine that as the music video!

more Matador bites!

-Matador used to play the guitar as a hobby. They never could fully get the hang of it, but they kept at it just for the fun of it.

-On the topic of music, they could carry a decent tune when they sang, but they haven't done any singing since they put the device on because it makes their voice sound like they're talking into a box fan. Sometimes when they're alone, though, they'll hum to themself.

-They had tattoos pre-device, but thanks to the state their body is in, you can't see them anymore, though you can VAGUELY make out blurred, warped images if their flames die down enough.

-They're touch-starved but they don't realize it. One time Garbo and Boggles group-hugged them after a particularly hard-fought mission and Matador actually stopped for a good few seconds before swiftly (and slightly awkwardly) brushing it off

-General headcanon to put the next one into context; even without the robots (or the aliens like Mari-Anna), sapient non-humans have always been around, and hybrids are a regular part of daily life.

So...

-Though MOSTLY human, Matador has a tiiiny bit of non-human lineage. The only parts you can see are little claws (and MAYBE a tail, I'm still deciding), but under the device, their ears are pointy and fuzzy, their eyes have/had slit pupils, and their teeth are pointier than a full-blooded human's.

-They also may or may not be able to purr, but it's usually so quiet you'd basically have to put your ear right up to their chest to hear it, and nobody else at SaFel has gotten Matador to like them enough to allow them to get that close
