Disciple's 'Chemical Wisdom' is a hard-hitting rock song that critiques over-reliance on medication to numb emotional and spiritual pain. The lyrics express a desperate plea to feel again, even if it means facing pain, because true healing requires confronting what's beneath the surface. The song acknowledges the struggle of mental health and the inadequacy of chemical remedies alone, pointing to a deeper spiritual need. It resonates with themes of brokenness, the search for authentic healing, and the recognition that only God can truly restore the soul.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Take all the numbness away so I can taste the pain
If I'm expected to heal I have to feel again
What can you give me
When waking up makes me
Feel I've got no room to breathe
Would you commit me
If was admitting
That someone's always after me
We're overmedicated, complicating every little issue
Push a new prescription for each symptom or the sickness gets you
If the fever isn't broken
Double the dosage, double the dosage
If the laceration's open
Double the dosage, double the dosage
My body and my brain are breaking
I'll take the strongest stuff that they're making
Oh God tell me where all the pain went
I'm sewing up your incisions
I'm throwing up your chemical wisdom
Take all the numbness away so I can taste the pain
If I'm expected to heal I have to feel again
I guess it helps me
But side effects seem to make me
Jump off of a bridge
Is there something
That they're scripting
To bring my soul back from the dead
We're overmedicated, complicating every little issue
Push a new prescription for each symptom or the sickness gets you
If the fever isn't broken
Double the dosage, double the dosage
If the laceration's open
Double the dosage, double the dosage
My body and my brain are breaking
I'll take the strongest stuff that they're making
Oh God tell me where all the pain went
I'm sewing up your incisions
I'm throwing up your chemical wisdom
Take all the numbness away so I can taste the pain
If I'm expected to heal I have to feel again
My problem is deeper than the pills you're giving me
Need more than a chemical remedy
My problem is deeper than the pills you're giving me
Need more than a chemical remedy
My problem is deeper than the pills you're giving me
Need more than a chemical remedy
My problem is deeper than the pills you're giving me
I need more
If the fever isn't broken
Double the dosage, double the dosage
My body and my brain are breaking
I'll take the strongest stuff that they're making
Oh God tell me where all the pain went
I'm sewing up your incisions
I'm throwing up your chemical wisdom
Take all the numbness away so I can taste the pain
If I'm expected to heal I have to feel again
