eat your heart out Lyrics

The first stanza sets the tone of the song with the lyrics "Catch me, I've been drifting, I've been free in this space too long." The singer seems to be feeling disjointed and untethered, and she wants someone to talk to her about this feeling. She acknowledges that the conversation might cause friction, but that's a risk she's willing to take. The second stanza reiterates her feeling of unsteadiness, as the singer admits that she's a mess with some unmade plans. She's watching everything outside the window, but she's not truly engaged with it. The chorus is all about losing oneself to somebody else. The singer is asking, "Are you losing yourself to somebody else?" She's also warning, "Taking hits when you should be protecting yourself, It's bad for your health."
