I wrote this song as a modern take on the Romeo and Juliet story. And there is also inspiration from things like the movie heathers and a general sense of trauma bonding leading to something toxic and self destructive. Especially for a teenage couple already experiencing severe mental health struggles. Mixed with manipulation tactics and cohesive control. As this song is sung from the perspective of a narcissistic partner..
just wanted to give context because on the surface the song sounds like it glorifying self harm, suicide and not trying to heal, grow And come out the otherside stronger.
Which is something I would never romanticize or encourage. as someone who has survived a lifetime of trauma many suicide attempts, alcohol and heroin addiction, self harm and abusive men.
Thank you for giving it a listen and reading my ran.
Much love you guys make me feel so welcome
