song 127 : Pharmaceutical Soup (Tacoma Ballet)

Frightened by her own emotions, the heroine of Tacoma Ballet follows her parents’ advice and goes to the doctor for pills. Maybe instead of leaving home, she can rebalance her chemicals. Maybe there’s nothing wrong with the town, or with her boyfriend, what’s wrong is something inside her.

“Set my life on an infinite loop, pour me some of that pharmaceutical soup.”

Legal (and illegal) drugs are sometimes used to numb the pain that we should be feeling, the pain that’s there to tell us something is wrong with our lives. .

“I’m not sick, I’m just sick of this.”
