The song "Three Pills" by Kali Uchis tells the story of the singer's experience with drugs and the effect they have on her and those around her. The lyrics describe the singer's state of mind after taking three pills, which make her feel better and provide a temporary escape from reality. The song mentions a girl who claims to have shared a class with the singer, but the singer does not remember her, possibly due to the haziness caused by the pills. This girl is also under the influence of three pills, which intensify her state of intoxication. Despite the drug-induced state, the singer expresses a desire to be kind and helpful to others. The lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to offer advice and be of support to those around her. There is a longing for connection, as the singer asks the listener not to hesitate and to be open to receiving advice and guidance. The chorus emphasizes the importance of embracing feelings of euphoria and allowing them to linger rather than suppressing or stopping them. The lyrics urge the listener to let go of inhibitions and let the euphoria flow freely, comparing it to the actions of a cop (police officer) and how they operate. The song also addresses the singer's attraction to someone, describing their physical appearance as special and soothing. The singer expresses a desire for their presence and mentions their cute top. The lyrics state the intention of creating a picnic scenario with the person, serving them from a tea set, perhaps metaphorically symbolizing a desire for a sweet and pleasant romantic encounter. Overall, "Three Pills" explores the temporary escape and altered state of mind that drugs can provide, while also touching on themes of connection, attraction, and the desire for pleasurable experiences.
