LYRICS:
Sick, sick
I'm sick of it all
This shit is killing me slow
I'm still here
For you
Done, done
I'm over the edge
Gun down, back from the ledge
If only
For you
I do it for
YOU
I DO IT FOR YOU
Sick, sick
I'm sick of it all
This shit is killing me slow
I'm still here
For you
Done, done
I'm over the edge
Gun down, back from the ledge
If only
For you
I did it all for you
(For you)
I set myself on fire
I'm just trying to make it
(For you)
I set myself on fire
I can hardly take it
(For you)
I set myself on fire
It's so hard to fake it
(For you)
I set myself on fire
FOR YOU
Been at my wits end
For a while
I told myself
It's over
For you (for you)
I'll grit my teeth
And form a smile
I'm always gonna
Hold on
For you (for you)

CONCEPT:
This song has multiple layered themes and meanings.
One angle is about powering through misery and thoughts of harming oneself for the sake of your loved ones. It's about always holding on to that love that you hold so dear and using that to hoist yourself along the winding road of life. So in this sense, it's very much a love song, oddly enough.
The other angle on this is about the truly insane lengths that people go to for the sake of their social media ie people doing crazy things for TikTok or YouTubers doing mean-spirited or insane pranks that are way over the line for views. This theme will be explored more in depth in the forthcoming music video. Essentially, the idea is that an artist sets themselves on fire in public as a sick publicity stunt to get lots of views on social media platforms, but it goes wrong and they end up covered in severe burns and at death's door. The motif of "For You" is intentionally a play on TikTok's For You Page and the associated hashtag.
Thank you so much for tuning in.
