Remedy

Biig Piig's song 'Remedy' delves into the complex interplay of desire, pain, and the search for fulfillment. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship where both parties are navigating their own needs and vulnerabilities. The opening lines introduce a character who is a 'creature of habit, longing for status,' suggesting a person trapped in their routines and aspirations. The narrator offers to fulfill these dreams, likening herself to Alice in Wonderland, a metaphor for venturing into the unknown and embracing the surreal.

The recurring theme of 'secret pleasure' hints at a clandestine or taboo aspect of their relationship. The narrator's willingness to 'lay you down and watch him break' speaks to a dynamic where pain and pleasure are intertwined, a 'bitter remedy' that both heals and hurts. This duality is further emphasized in the lines 'there's beauty in a bruise,' suggesting that the pain experienced is not just physical but emotional, and yet it holds a certain allure or beauty.

The repeated question, 'Is that everything you need from me?' underscores a sense of uncertainty and longing for validation. The narrator is seeking reassurance that her efforts and sacrifices are enough to satisfy her partner's needs. The closing lines, 'Days are hollow, we beg and borrow... our sorrow swallowed,' encapsulate the emptiness and cyclical nature of their relationship. They are caught in a loop of seeking and losing, where sorrow is both a companion and a burden they carry together.
