The lyrics evoke someone dealing with depression but finding themselves “erased” by the medication. The lines: “I’m trying, but I’ve gone through the glass again, just come and find me, God loves everybody, don’t remind me, I took the medicine when I went missing. Just let me hear your voice, just let me listen” speak of the struggle to deal with painful emotions, but sometimes finding it easier to evade them – to take the medicine and go missing.
