Medicate is a song about crying during sex.

[berrie]

"I don't really get into specifics, but it's, in essence, if you distill the song down to one of its general meanings, it's really speaking of the mutability of elation that's based in really powerful yet fleeting experiences, and those experiences being referred to in a sort of metaphorical way as medication."

"I don't understand what you're saying."

"Do you like roller-coasters?"

"Yes."

"Do you ever feel like you want to cry after you get off a roller-coaster?"

"Um, no."

"Or throw up?"

"Yes, that I've felt."

"Ever cry after sex?"

"My wife cries during sex, what's that about, Davey?"

"That's what the song is about."

I'm tempted to crop the bridge out of the song and only listen to that without the rest of the song. It's amazing.
