Medizin (feat. Koushino)

In the song "Medizin (feat. Koushino)", MEL delves into the depths of emotional and psychological struggles, using vivid metaphors and raw lyrics to paint a picture of his inner world. The recurring theme of death singing a melody and the notion of a black hole where his heart once was, symbolize profound feelings of emptiness and despair. Despite these dark emotions, the artist finds solace in a significant other, referring to them as his 'medicine,' suggesting that love and connection are his only sources of healing and stability.

The lyrics also reflect MEL's journey from a challenging past to a more prosperous present. He contrasts his earlier life, marked by financial struggles and a lack of stability, with his current success, symbolized by luxury items like Audemars Piguet watches. However, this material success does not bring him true happiness, as he realizes that money cannot fill the void left by emotional and relational turmoil. This realization is poignantly expressed in lines about his ex-partner and the emotional scars left by that relationship.

The song also touches on themes of isolation and existential questioning. MEL wonders who will mourn him when he's gone, highlighting a sense of loneliness and the transient nature of life. The imagery of everything spinning in circles, like a carousel, suggests a feeling of being trapped in a cycle of repetitive and unfulfilling experiences. Despite these struggles, the fire in his heart, even when it rains, symbolizes a persistent inner strength and a desire to keep moving forward, no matter how challenging the circumstances.
