The line is about chronic pain and suicidal ideation that comes with it. That is the line… thoughts of suicide. I wrote it after I wasn’t having problems with it anymore. When I could think about it more clearly than being so sunk in it.
The line
When the lightning lit
Snaking the pain through my skin
When the thunder hit
Thoughts and a line so thin
Snaking the pain through my skin,
When the storm rolled in
Thoughts and a line so thin
I’m the pain. Thoughts the sin.
When the storm rolled in
When the thunder hit
I’m the pain. Thoughts the sin
When the lightning lit.
