Discover the story of the song > Chalk Outlines – ren and chinchilla

The song describes a person who is struggling with their emotions and mental health. They feel the need to numb their pain with pills and find temporary relief through new habits. However, they recognize that this is not a permanent solution and are scared of facing the reality that things can change. The chorus refers to the idea that they are leaving a mark on the world through their struggles, but ultimately they want to erase themselves from these 'chalk outlines' and find true happiness.
