It was originally published as a single in October 2013 with its corresponding music video on Youtube.
“Got Well Soon” is best known for its appearance in the video game Life is Strange. Indeed, Breton tied the release of the song to events in Life in Strange, and chose a blue butterfly, one of the game’s motifs, as the cover when Got Well Soon got its album release.
Got Well Soon
Breton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If ever alike inside you're scraping, the pockets avail
Whatever you like when you came in
Whatever you use, whatever you chose,
Whatever your acronym.
They say that either you're out or you're in
But you're on!
When you move.
You start around with sounds,
Teach them how you moved around
You tell them all so well, I had to memorize
You pour a few tears…. the ground and as your feet
And never you shall miss
If anything like the self destructed
If ever alike inside you're scraping, the pockets avail
Whatever you like when you came in
Whatever you use, whatever you chose,
Whatever your acronym (x2)
They say that either you're out or you're in
But you're on!
They say that either you're out or you swim
When you move
..get fond out again!
The lyrics of Breton's "Got Well Soon" are an intricate web of imagery and emotions that invite interpretation on multiple levels. The first stanza appears to be about personal struggle, addiction, and self-destruction. The phrase "if anything like the self destructed" suggests that the singer may have been through difficult times and is trying to make amends. The line "inside you're scraping, the pockets avail" is a clever metaphor for being left with nothing but emptiness after indulging in vices. The reference to acronyms may suggest that the singer is part of a group that uses such terminology to bond or identify.
The second stanza appears to be more about resilience, survival, and finding one's place in the world. The line "either you're out or you're in" is a common expression used to define belonging, but the singer seems to defy such a binary opposition. The repeated refrain "but you're on!" suggests that the singer is not giving up and is determined to keep going, regardless of the challenges. The phrase "when you move" might refer to the process of adapting, changing, and improving oneself. The last line "get fond out again!" is ambiguous but could mean that the singer is trying to recapture some lost sense of joy, purpose, or identity.
Overall, "Got Well Soon" is a song that balances introspection and empowerment, melancholy and hope. It offers a poignant perspective on the human condition and the struggles we face as we try to make sense of our lives.

"Got Well Soon"
[Verse 1]
Has anything like this ever struck you?
If ever a likeness had you scraping the pockets of air?
Whatever you're like when you came in
Whatever you use
Whatever you choose
Whatever your acronym
[Chorus]
They say that either you're out or you're in
But you're on
They say that either you're out or you’ll swim
On your own
[Verse 2]
You started what would sound
(Like a) speech on how you moved around
You told them all so well I had them memorized
You bored us into tears
But here's the ground and there's your feet
And never the two shall meet
[Verse 1]
Has anything like this ever struck you?
If ever a likeness had you scraping the pockets of air?
Whatever you're like when you came in
Whatever you use
Whatever you choose
Whatever your acronym
[Verse 1]

[Bridge]
What have we started
What became
Don’t get found out again
What have we started
What remained
You saved our lives again
[Chorus]
They say that either you're out or you're in
But you're on
They say that either you're out or you’ll swim
On your own
Don't get found out again
