Nobody cares, but
The thing I like the most about this song is the extreme shift in pace compared to her other songs. If you've listened to the other songs from this album, you would know most are slow, and give off a depressed vibe. But not this one.
This song is intense, fast paced. Still depressing, and gives off the same vibe as her other songs.
However, with this song, instead of it seeming like she's thinking aloud or muttering to herself, it's like Amanda has poured out all of the emotions she's bottled up for years, almost as if it's a cry for help. Like she's finally snapped or something..

My favourite line has to be "If wellness is this what in hells name is sickness"
I found this song before I was diagnosed with depression and that line really hit home. I knew I had depression, my whole family have experienced it and I was next in line, but I was young and "supposed" to be happy

__Lyrics__
My friend has problems with winter and autumn.
They give him prescriptions and shine bright lights on him.
They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it, they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it.
My friend despite he gets shakes in the night and they say that there's no way that they could have caught it in time takes his toll on him.
It is traditional.
It is inherited.
Predispositional
Day I've been wondering what is inside of me, who can I blame for it?
I say it runs in the family
This family that carries me to such great lengths to open my legs up for anyone who'll have me. It runs in the family, I came by it honestly, do what you want who knows it might fill me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up

Fill me up

My friend's depressed she's a wreck, she's a mess.
They've done all sorts of tests & they guess it has something to do with her grandmother's grandfather's grandmother saving war soldiers who probably infected her.
My friend has validation in some allergies that she dates back to the 17th century.
Somehow she manages in her misery.
Strips in the city and shows all her best tricks.
I mean well, I'm well well I mean I'm in hell well I still have my health at least that's what they tell me.
If wellness is this what in hells name is sickness?
But business is business and business runs in the family.
We tend to bruise easily.
Mad in the blood.
I'm telling you cause I just want you to know me - know me and my family.
We're wonderful folks, but don't get to close to me cause you might knock me up
Me up

Mary have mercy now look what I've done but don't blame 'cause I can't help where I come from.
Running is something that we've always done well and mostly I can't even tell what I'm running from.
Run from their pity, from responsibility.
Run from the country and run from the city.
I can run from the law, I can run from myself.
I can run from my life, I can run into debt.
I can run from it all, I can run til I'm gone.
I can run for the office and run for my cause.
I can run using every last ounce of energy.
I cannot, I cannot, I cannot run from my family.
They're hiding inside of me.
Don't change my life.
Help me if you might but don't tell my family.
They'd never forgive me.
They'd say that I'm crazy.
But they would say anything if it would shut me up
Shut me up
Shut me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up

Shut me up

"Running is something that we've always done. But i can't even tell what I'm running from." literally describes me and my family. One of my parents and their mom have severe drug and mental health problems that they have let go untreated for years, and because of this they've made reckless decisions that have nearly ruined their lives and their own children's lives. It's so much pressure having to live in their shadow, because everybody doesn't say it but I know in the back of their mind they're thinking "she's her daughter, is she gonna be a fuck up like her mom, and her grandmother, and her grandmother's mother? Or is she going to break the cycle?" The way my family thinks of almost all the women in my family is awful, all of them have been disowned. Now I feel like I can't make any mistakes for fear of being labeled as "just like the others". I love my mom and the kind of person she's raised me as but it hurts knowing I have to fight against all of these past demons that I didn't even create. It just feels like all the women in the family are cursed and that's just a scary thing to think about.
This was pretty personal but I think it's good sharing my story out there, so that if anyone relates they know they're not alone.

Google says this:
Seasonal Affective Disorder (also known as S.A.D. or seasonal depression).
Often starts in the fall and can continue through winter months.
(My friend has problems with winter and autumn)
Treatment includes light therapy and medications.
(They give him prescriptions and shine bright lights on him)
Symptoms include sadness and depression.
(My friend's depressed, she's a wreck, she's a mess)
Individuals with a relative who has or has had SAD are at greater risk.
(They say it’s genetic, they say he can’t help it)

The violin at 2:22 is what did it for me; absolutely gorgeous and truly sells the broadway energy

this song is so me, I'm disabled, chronically ill, mentally ill, and neurodivergent.
I am f*cked, and it runs in the family.
I hope..
I can break the cycle.
I hope I can leave behind the pain of the war, and poverty my family has lived through.
I hope I stop the pain, the abuse, the neglect, the hurt and trauma.
my parents tried, I'm still f*cked up. their parents tried, they still f*cked up, my great grandparents tried but they still F*cked up.
the cycle of pain and torture and poverty runs deep, my great grandparents on my mum's side came from poverty. Italian poverty, they were poor they came from f*cked up backgrounds.
the pain of WW2 still isn't over, I doubt it ever will. the pain of war and unrest and trauma never does.
I can't ever know who my family is, I can't know what's actually wrong with me, I just am broken.
my spine is bad, my knees are weak, my lungs don't work, my joints are f*cked, my eye's are not great, I'm allergic to everything, my immune system is not good at all, I'm probably intersex, I have chronic headaches and aches, I just am.. broken.
my head screams at me with vigour, the paranoia is deep in my bones, the voices try to help, the dysmorphia tells me I'm too skinny too fat and I don't belong in this body, the depersonalisation and derealision tell me I do not exist I everything is fake, the depression tells me I'm worth less and better dead that nothing I am will ever give me the happiness I crave, the anxiety tells me everyone will die and everything will die and I will die, the OCD tells me I'm a sinful disgusting feral monster of a person who doesn't deserve kindness, the PTSD shows me and shows me and shows me again and again the moments I wish to forget the blood and the screaming, the bodies and murder the sex and gore, it has burrowed deep in my skin so deep. so deep.
and all that's left is a husk that feels everything and nothing.
my brain doesn't work, I feel deeply evil, my body hates me, and all I have is the kindness I can give to others.
I don't even have my health, I don't have my sanity, I don't have anything.
I'm just tired, and broken.
and that's okay, it gets better, I'm not dead no one is dead yet.
I'll suffer but I'll live, I'll live.

I'm pretty sure I have some kind of chronic health condition, but if I ever bring it up to my mom she blows me off and says "no, migraines just run in our family." Even though I was literally hospitalized a couple days ago and get dizzy every time I stand up. This song is a huge mood right now...

I'm pretty damn sure this wasn't supposed to be the takeaway from this song but I feel like this could be applied to how some gay people feel.
Thinking you can catch it.
Wondering if you were born with it.
Debating if it might be a fault of genetics.
Worrying it will cause your family to hate you.
Like I said, almost definitely wasn't what the singer was thinking when she wrote this beautiful song but I'm gay and this is what came to mind
