I love this new song. Sometimes Regina sounds like a psychologist picking out a very idiosyncratic individual and that's why her songs can be so relatable and yet not quite at the same time. Like Poor Little Rich Boy.
But yeah I think this song is about someone who has overcome a lot or at least like to think they have and have a tendency to feel sorry for themselves and impose it on others - like in the second verse "you've won the war but it's not your turn" like their need to dispense advice and have other people's admiration for their achievements through tough times is a bit narcissistic rather than genuinely trying to help and I think it's basically saying get over it and carry on with your life and stop congratulating yourself on overcoming your hardship.
Not sure if that makes sense but it's my interpretation
