Meaning of "Not Allowed" by Suburban Lawns


The repetition of the lyrics points to a sense of urgency and importance in stopping the consumption of pills in order to "see." The idea of not being allowed to see until one stops taking the pills suggests a literal or metaphorical blindness caused by dependency or addiction. The repeated "Don't wait" emphasizes the need for immediate action and breaking free from whatever is clouding one's vision or understanding. This could be interpreted as a warning against relying on substances to escape reality or cope with difficulties, highlighting the consequences of such reliance on pills.
