I think this is a really difficult song to interpret without the songwriter’s input, but I have always felt this song was relatable most to me in my early twenties. I was a burned out gifted kid trying desperately to finish college. I felt like all I could do most days was go to work, cook dinner, and get high. But I still had this drive in me from when I was younger, like I wanted to accomplish everything at once but I had no energy to do it. This is seen most directly in the line “ When I decided to wage Holy War
It looked very much like staring at my bedroom floor” in that I wanted to do something important, but all I could do was take a shower, maybe. At minimum, the song is about the singer feeling trapped from pursuing her dreams, whether it be depression or a higher power
