(HOW TO LIVE WHEN YOU WANT TO DIE)

Song Meaning

The narrator lays out a stark contrast between their past actions and the present reality. They claim to have been the source of life and joy for someone else, the one who pulled them back from the brink. This establishes a foundation of deep, perhaps even life-saving, connection. The immediate shift, however, pivots to a present pain inflicted by the very person they claim to have rescued.
