Since millions adore the song’s lyrics, there could be a section that would love to taste the song’s meaning.

For the first two lines,

1. “I don’t feel a sole thing,
   Do the pills done too much?”

Em Behold is under so much stress and anxiety that she feels nothing. Neither good nor bad. She couldn’t determine whether it was the effect of the pills or her thoughts.

2. “Do you ever get a little bit tired of life,
   Like you’re not actually happy, and you don’t want to die.“

In the above lines, Behold retaliates her mind’s fickleness. She is unhappy with her life but doesn’t wish to die. She hopes that she is not alone in the world with these kinds of mixed feelings.

3. “Like your body’s in the expanse, but you’re not really ere,
   Like though you have empathy, but you don’t actually care.”

Through the above lyrics, she conveys that though she is still in the room, her soul, heart, and mind are beyond the room’s boundaries. Here she must have felt the pain of the pandemic.
