This song is about living life with an eating disorder. I developed anorexia when I was around 10 years old, and it’s been something that has followed me around ever since. Even when things begin to get better, and luckily for me they are, it feels like it’s always one step behind me, ready to grab me and take over again. Things don’t always feel that bleak, and I’m so grateful to have come so far in my recovery, but this song was a way for me to process the frustration that it never really leaves entirely.
- Faye Rogers
lyrics
Back here, again.
I thought maybe I’d found my way out. It seemed pretty hopeful for a while.... But I guess I never left.
I’ll probably be buried with it,
Sooner rather than later.
I can never shake it off.
It’s always been sat on my shoulders.
I’m not whole.
I’m not whole.
I’m not whole.
There’s always something missing.
