Therapy
Kyan Palmer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Broke down doors so you could prove that you were right
I, I won′t survive one more fight
I, I'm not alright
You′re always up and down
Hard to figure out
We're only good under covers
Don′t know if I can recover
I need therapy
After all you′ve done to me
I need therapy
You're fucking with my sanity
I′m coming undone
Can't cover up the cracks
This is way too much
Can′t fix it with a glass
I need therapy
After all you've done to me
Shame that pretty mouth you got just ain′t that nice
Pain, you torture me thеn do that thing I like
I, I won't survive one morе fight
I, I'm not alright
You′re always up and down
Hard to figure out
We′re only good under covers
Dammit, we're bad for each other
Don′t know if I can recover
I need therapy
After all you've done to me
I need therapy
You′re fucking with my sanity
I'm coming undone
Can′t cover up the cracks
This is way too much
Can't fix it with a glass
I need therapy
After all you've done to me
You′re out for my blood
And you got just what you want
Missing who I used to be
Now there′s nothing left of me
I need therapy
Therapy
I need therapy
After all you've done to me
I need therapy
You′re fucking with my sanity
I'm coming undone
Can′t cover up the cracks
This is way too much
Can't fix it with a glass
I need therapy
After all you′ve done to me
The song "Therapy" by Kyan Palmer is a powerful and emotional exploration of a toxic relationship. The opening lines, "Lips that used to kiss me cut me like a knife / Broke down doors so you could prove that you were right," suggest that the relationship is one of violence and abuse. The singer asserts that they can't handle any more fights and that they are not alright. They go on to describe the relationship as being full of ups and downs and hard to figure out. The only time they feel good is when they are under the covers, but even then, they know that the relationship is bad for them.
The chorus of the song is a plea for therapy, as the singer acknowledges that the relationship has done severe damage to their mental health. They sing, "I need therapy / After all you've done to me / You're fucking with my sanity / I'm coming undone." The pain and trauma of the relationship have left them feeling like they are coming apart at the seams, and they know that they need professional help to overcome it. The song's final lines suggest that the singer feels like they have lost a significant part of themselves as a result of the relationship, and they are left with nothing but the need for therapy to help them heal.
