Cover art for A Few Small Bruises lyrics by Maria Mena

First of all there are two reasons people hurt themselves:

  1. that is their only way of letting pain out. its their way to cry.
  2. because they dont necassarly do it for the attention, but a cry for help.

This song is talking about a girl who maybe wants to commit suicide, "Out here on the ledge,I'm not far away from stepping off" the cloud she is referring to is surrounded by air, as if she feels free. Just like the second reason people hurt themselves, because its a cry for help, she meets someone who wants to help her. In the genious part, she is exclaiming that she wants him to make her beautiful with all these things...and then maybe shell rethink leaving.

Thats how i view this song.
