Songfacts®:

  • This is an anti-suicide song: "The same blade, same sting, the same old vein." It's about feeling so disgusted with yourself that you want to die: "My weight, my face, my height, my race, I'm a mistake." It tells you that no matter how bad you feel about yourself and no matter how many imperfections you have, that it's normal and not something to kill yourself over, because "imperfections make you unique." >>>
