This song is about failure and the beautiful freedom you can find in using them as lessons rather than reverberating insults at your self.
lyrics
I gave it my all
I scrubbed myself clean
I shot for the moon
And fell through a screen
I saw through the lies
Then stopped questioning why
I'm living this life
Like a spider and-
Fly away
They can't you now
You've escaped
Make your way
To the deep end
Skull crush
Data Flush
Who cares
It all goes away
Life's like a candle in flames
Take all the feelings that crush
Quick to the toilet now flush
Maybe there's no one to blame
Maybe it's all just insane
What good is wondering why?
As if there's an answer
Maybe it's shy
You came in my life
As if from a dream
You lit up the sky
Love loud as a scream
You gave me a reason
A reason to be
You lift me so high
So why would I-
Fly away
They can't you now
You've escaped
Make your way
To the deep end
Skull crush
Data Flush
Who cares
It all goes away
Life's like a candle in flames
Take all the feelings that crush
Quick to the toilet now flush
Maybe there's no one to blame
Maybe it's all just insane
What good is wondering why?
As if there's an answer
Maybe it's shy
I gave it my all
As if from a dream
I shot for the moon
Love loud as a scream
I saw through the lies
Then stopped questioning why
You lift me so high
Like a spider and-
Fly away
They can't you now
You've escaped
Make your way
To the deep end
Skull crush
Data Flush
What's the rush
Violent hush
