After Bring Me the Horizon's 2010-2012 There Is a Hell... tour, frontman Oli Sykes was in a really bad place, leading him to self-medicate. It turned out that the underlying problem was ADHD, and this song is about his condition. Sykes said; "It's weird having a doctor tell you that your brain is missing something – but at the same time it was a relief to discover. Finding out that a huge part of my addiction was self-medicating was a massive step in my recovery." The lyric 'My head wasn't wired for this world' is the truth. It's meant to me talking to a doctor, trying to explain how I feel sometimes – hence 'It's like an avalanche.'" Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or ADHD is a condition affecting the brain, which affects how people think and act. ADHD sufferers have problems with focusing and processing information. They may also have extra trouble sitting still or being quiet.
