I'm not 100% sure what this song is about so I'm just guessing. But I believe it's about depression. Obviously the lines 'the only way to gain approval is by exploiting the very thing that cheapens me' refer to Richey's self harm. I also think the song's about looking back and wishing you were happy again, like when you were young. But, this is just what I believe, so I could be completely wrong!
