self medication
psychological theme: chemical coping
self medication explores the quiet space between coping and escaping. it's not a song about self-destruction, but about the small rituals people build to soften emotions that feel too sharp to carry. the narrator isn't trying to disappear completely — only to turn the volume down long enough to make it through another night. beneath the chemical comfort lies a fragile illusion of control, slowly slipping away.
