Blessed Be Lyrics
I say my blessings all for you
I feel it fade from the inside
I open up to adore you
But everything was just a crutch to preserve life
Serotonin like a loaded gun
I am a coward, you pull me up
Into a place where there's nothing that's left for me
But insecurity
And if I lose myself, blessed be
I could survive in these chemicals for you
A lonely fool above, just out of reach
I could survive in these chemicals only for you
I say my blessings all for you
You say blessed be the fool who
Plucks out the eyes just to listen to the frequency
It's just a crutch to ignore you
Serotonin like a loaded gun
I am a coward, you pull me up
Into a place where there's nothing that's left for me
But insecurity
And if I lose myself, blessed be
I could survive in these chemicals for you
A lonely fool above, just out of reach
I could survive in these chemicals only for you
Entombed to die
In catacombs of restless bones
Consumed alive
This is my home
I'm waiting here for you
I say these blessings all for you
I say these blessings all for you
I say these blessings all for
Offer me
I have the heart of a coward
Offer me
I have the heart of a coward
So open up my sternum
The only constant is a crutch
The only blessing that I know
If I lose myself, blessed be
I could survive in these chemicals for you
A lonely fool above, just out of reach
I could survive in these chemicals for you
Entombed to die
In catacombs of restless bones
Consumed alive
This is my home
I'm waiting here for you
I feel it fade from the inside
I open up to adore you
But everything was just a crutch to preserve life
I am a coward, you pull me up
Into a place where there's nothing that's left for me
But insecurity
I could survive in these chemicals for you
A lonely fool above, just out of reach
I could survive in these chemicals only for you
You say blessed be the fool who
Plucks out the eyes just to listen to the frequency
It's just a crutch to ignore you
I am a coward, you pull me up
Into a place where there's nothing that's left for me
But insecurity
I could survive in these chemicals for you
A lonely fool above, just out of reach
I could survive in these chemicals only for you
Entombed to die
In catacombs of restless bones
Consumed alive
This is my home
I'm waiting here for you
I say these blessings all for you
I say these blessings all for
I have the heart of a coward
Offer me
I have the heart of a coward
So open up my sternum
The only constant is a crutch
The only blessing that I know
I could survive in these chemicals for you
A lonely fool above, just out of reach
I could survive in these chemicals for you
In catacombs of restless bones
Consumed alive
This is my home
I'm waiting here for you

I think this is about love & obsession and how it can bring someone to the brink of insanity & beyond.
I am 100% convinced that this song is the perspective from Harley Queen as she goes beyond the fine line of obsession and sanity…
As Courtney herself has stated, the lyrics are about the personification of her depression.
Reading into it further, I think it's conceptualizing the depression as an abusive lover, complete with themes of co-dependency and one's very core identity being intertwined with the depression. I think the video runs with this parallel.
The title, as Courtney has stated, is inspired by Handmaid's Tale.
