Stuck inside of the wrong frame
I don't feel attached to this name
My body, I must reclaim
With different eyes and no shame
Try, try to just hear me out
Don't ask why, why
I'm taking this route
It's alright, right?
That's what I tell myself, but I don't know know
So I ran 'til I couldn't & I screamed, until my voice was gone
I believed what I shouldn't have, I don't know why
These memories are nothing to me just salt
Look in the mirror and tell me
What it is like to be free
How do I grasp reality
When I don't have an identity!
Who, who can I look to 'cause I'm not like you, you
And I don't believe in the truth, truth
Because all of my life's built on lies
So I ran 'til I couldn't & I screamed, until my voice was gone
I believed what I shouldn't have, I don't know why
I know what you're implying
I'm trying to get my feet off the ground
I know - I know, I'm trying - I'm trying
These memories are nothing to me just salt!

'Cause all of my life's built on lies, uh!
So I ran 'til I couldn't & I screamed, until my voice was gone
I believed what I shouldn't have, I don't know why
Yeah, I ran 'til I couldn't & I screamed, until my voice was gone

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
To me, this song is almost certainly about issues concerning gender identity and dysphoria. The first verse makes a clear reference to the narrator being uncomfortable with their body.
Love this song. I think it is about a person accepting who they really are, even though it is against social norms, parents, what they've been taught is right, etc. Running away and screaming to try to rid themselves of the voices that tell them to be true to themselves, but they can't. The main character admits that the memories of their life mean nothing to who they are, but at the end they finally admit that these memories are tearing them up.
I believe this song is basically about rejection that he can't seem to get over. This line show how loving this person makes him feel as if he's nonexistent, "I don't feel attached to this name, how do I grasp reality when I don't have an identity?" The chorus to me is how terrible it made him feel and the last line of it really gets me. "These memories are nothing to me, just salt in the wound" meaning it still hurts just thinking about it. A great and emotional song all over, Bad Suns is amazing ( ﾟヮﾟ)/
I think this is about someone who is homosexual and people are giving him a hard the about it

I don't necessarily disagree this interpretation, but I think the music video gives a very good alternative. The male character in the video is struggling with gender identity and is coming to terms with himself--actually, herself--and becoming female.
