Cutting Lyrics

Cover art for Cutting lyrics by Ayria

Pretty straightforward meaning but still comment-worthy. "The memories will just confuse an overwhelmed and frightened youth" is a very interesting line...

I agree, this line is very interesting. I have a feeling she means the "memories" are the ones that she had when she was a young child. They are so horrible when they come back to her that she feels like her child self, overwhelmed, frightened, and confused. Which is why she's cutting the painful mermories away.

In an interview she said the song is looking back at how she felt when she was a self-harming teenager. She no longer self-harms. :)
