Discover the story of the song > THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS – black dresses

The song is about the struggles of the protagonist with their own identity and mental health. They feel like they don't know who they are and sometimes wish they could just forget everything and be someone else. The chorus expresses their desire to be left alone to live their own life without causing harm to anyone, and to find some sense of control and safety before eventually passing away. The bridge talks about how difficult it is to deal with mental illness and the pressure to conform to other people's expectations, and the line "pick yourself off the floor and look yourself in the eye" shows that the protagonist is trying to be strong and confront their issues.
