Listen first
Self-harm imagery, suicidal ideation, emotional abuse
Detailed Analysis
These lyrics deal with several emotionally heavy themes including self-harm imagery ('wish I had a gun,' 'start to bleed'), suicidal ideation ('losing my will to go on'), emotional abuse ('killing me with your words,' 'chewed me up and spat me out'), and heartbreak/jealousy. While there is no explicit language, sexual content, or drug references, the references to self-harm, loss of will to live, and emotional pain are significant concerns for younger audiences. The imagery of bleeding, choking, and 'bruises on my skin' — used metaphorically but still viscerally — could be distressing or even influential for emotionally vulnerable younger listeners. The overall tone is one of despair and helplessness, which warrants parental guidance, particularly for those with pre-teens. Teens aged 13+ who are emotionally mature may be able to engage with this content critically, but parental awareness is advisable.

Lyrics
Wish I had a gun Faster than everyone could run Over to me When I start to bleed On a summer's night I start to choke and I see the light Then I'm brought back down Fallen to the ground You're killing me with your words You've chewed me up and spat me out And boy it really hurts To see you and him Be so in love it makes me sick Leaves bruises on my skin And I can't take it anymore I'll just have to leave you behind And try and shut the door Because I'm losing my will to go on
