found.ee/SM_Tour "This song was hard to write because there was so much imagery that I wanted to include from different parts of my life. I wanted there to be a huge contrast from being young and happy, and then completely losing that, and struggling with that loss. There’s parts in the song about struggling with depression and self-harm, which is so different from the way I had been when I was a kid. It’s like seeing this weird reflection of myself and not understanding what went wrong."

Remembering running through my yard like a wild stream
Just a little kid – blood flowing into my rosy cheeks
Now a river runs red from my knuckles into the sink
And there’s a pale girl staring through the mirror at me
Maybe it’s just a dream
Wish I could go back to sleep
Hydrangeas blooming of the branches of park trees
It’s a half-hearted calm – the way I’ve felt since I was thirteen
‘cause I may not feel it now, covered up the wounds with my long sleeves
but I know it’s waiting there swimming through my bloodstream
and it’s gonna come for me
yeah it’s gonna come for me
what did you have that I didn’t? and why am I so blue?
someone’s talking in my forehead that says I’ll never be like you
happiness is like a firefly on summer evenings
feel it slipping through my fingers but I can’t catch it in my hands
catch it in my
old memories - ribbons running down from my bare knees
I ran too fast, fell down on my face in the concrete
I guess the lesson’s learned, I’ve barely left my room in the past week
And I’ve got my guard up trying all the time to stay clean
But I don’t feel anything
I don’t feel anything
What did you have that I didn’t? and why am I so fucked?
There’s someone talking in my forehead that says I’ll never be enough
and happiness is like a firefly on summer evenings
feel it slipping through my fingers but I can’t catch it in my hands
catch it in my

Shit. This song hits home. I really love that analogy for happiness being something elusive that you try to catch in your hands and hold. That's a feeling that sucks when you are super depressed because it's motivational to seek out this flighty little happiness thing, but it's also an excercise in futility at times. The happiness is being chased for the wrong reasons and it's a distraction from the feelings you don't really want to feel anymore.
