A lot of young people think they’re in love and it often doesn’t go as planned. In this song, Daughter describes the ending of a toxic relationship (most young ones are) but she is still feeling the effects. With symbolism like “From the perfect start to the finish line” and “Setting fire to our insides”, one assumes that the title is fitting as many young people turn to exercise (not often) or more obviously drugs to help heal the pain.
The person she broke up with is to blame as we see from the lyrics. Daughter lets us know that a lot of people have truly been hurt and just given up, so if you’re still going, even after being hurt, you’re lucky! The theme of self-destruction is evident.
“As an early teen, I felt a bit lost. You’re trying to find out who you are. You move schools and different people and kind of lose touch of who you are. I went through phases of sadness and kept to myself a lot. My parents are amazing and my family is amazing — I’m really lucky. For me, going through youth is positive, but there’s a sadness and a smokiness to it.” – Elena Tonra
