This song literally gives me goosebumps. I served 9.5 years in the US Army and now suffer from PTSD, TBI, insomnia and, fibromyalgia. Long of the short, I have lost several army buddies due to suicide. I tried several times to connect with them and help them but failed. It hurts...it gets loud in my head sometimes...music seems to quiet it down at times...thank you, everyone, for existing. Much love.

The line that gets me the most is "I sometimes wish I’d stayed inside my mother Never to come out"
the idea of never wanting to have been born is so powerful yet so relate-able to anyone who has battled mental illness or been through hard times. This thought is so beautiful, sad, and haunting.

I’m wasted, losing time
I’m a foolish, fragile spine
I want all that is not mine
I want him but we’re not right
In the darkness I will meet my creators
And they will all agree, that I’m a suffocator
I should go now quietly
For my bones have found a place to lie down and sleep
Where all my layers can become reeds
All my limbs can become trees
All my children can become me
What a mess I leave
To follow [4x]
In the darkness I will meet my creators
They will all agree, I’m a suffocator
Suffocator [2x]
Oh no
I’m sorry if I smothered you [2x]
I sometimes wish I’d stayed inside my mother
Never to come out

Throughout this blissful, exquisite track -though every part of it is important and beautiful -the lyrics that really get me are “I should go now quietly; for my bones have found a place to lie down and sleep. Where all my layers can become reeds, all my limbs can become trees, all my children can become me -what a mess I leave.”
We all can take a song however we feel it is to be taken, but to me in particular, I take it as she's just so tired from always fucking everything up. From friendships and relationships to even the smallest of things. And she's so tired of trying to fix herself that she would rather just go and leave this world because it's the easy way out, despite that she knows how bad she has messed up.
And it isn't just this song that's pure brilliance from this band -it's every fucking song they make. Love you, Daughter, and thanks for understanding.

I love that she says "I wish I'd stayed inside my mother," instead of "I wish I'd never been born." As tragic as it is, it's also more hopeful. Inside our mothers we're at our safest, the closest to another human being we can be, and we still have all of our potential with none of our failures. It's a risk-free, entirely loved form of existing.
