Eine Frau denkt an eine vergangene große Liebe und den Einfluss, den diese bis heute auf sie und ihr Leben hat. Sie erkennt, dass sie sich endlich davon befreien muss, um wieder zu sich selbst zu finden und ihre Träume zu verwirklichen.

This is when I was struggling with anorexia(I’ve struggled with both bulimia and anorexia) and nobody offered me help, even when I literally cried for it. So this is basically me talking to myself and about myself and trying to better me for me. I was all alone in this so I had to help myself. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. And I still, at times, struggle with eating because since I had to do it on my own I never fully recovered.

This song is about a woman who just started a happy life with her husband, when he was sent off to war and never came home. She's shattered and turn, but she learns to appreciate the beauty in the small things in life. No one ever heals from that sort of tragedy, but she learns to cope and figures out ways to still let the happiness in.

I knew a girl once, went to school with her, same neighborhood, and she was typically miserable. 'Til she broke up with her man, then she became the strongest person around. I really think this song encapsulates the growth that a "nothing to lose" attitude can have on you, though it's also deeper than that - it touches on the dissonance of love and loss. We all know that feeling where you feel stronger on your own, but still like part of you is with that other person. You still cling onto the way that person made you feel at the best of times, and you live with that. Indefinitely. This one here, which I wrote just before winter '19, is in my top-10 list of personal favorites. Reading it bereft the melody, might take a few tries to figure out how the syllable emphasis works out in the chorus, but it works perfect once you find it.

At some point, all people had dark thoughts, some just have it darker. Life isn't good to all.
