The Draw Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Jess1234 

Cover art for The Draw lyrics by Bastille

As someone who's struggled with self harm this song was overwhelmingly about that for me. But then I listened deeper and though it could be about any form of addiction or mental health issue. Depression, self harm, anxiety to name a few. And maybe it was written like that specifically. So that anyone who listens to it and struggles with a mental health issue or addiction can see it relating to them, and so they feel as if they aren't alone.

My Interpretation

@Jess1234 these were my thoughts exactly. i always thought it was about some sort of addiction, but i specifically related to the song through my past experiences with self-harm and depression.
