Lyrics:
Oh, one, two
Honey, what'd you take?
I think my brain is rotting in places
I think my heart is ready to die
I think my body is falling in pieces
I think my blood is passing me by
Honey, what'd you take? What'd you take?
Honey, look at me
Tell me, what you took? What'd you take?
Honey, what'd you take? What'd you take?
Honey, look at me
Tell me, what you took? What'd you take?
I think my fate is losing its patience
I think the ground is pulling me down
I think my life is losing momentum
I think my ways are wearing me down
But if I gave up on being pretty
I wouldn't know how to be alive
I should move to a brand new city
And teach myself how to die
Honey, what'd you take? What'd you take?
Honey, look at me
Tell me, what you took? What'd you take?
Honey, what'd you take? What'd you take?
Honey, look at me
Tell me, what you took? What'd you take?
Honey, what'd you take? What'd you take?
Honey, look at me
Tell me, what you took? What'd you take?
Honey, what'd you take? What'd you take?
Honey, look at me
Tell me, what you took? What'd you take?
This is a song that, again, reflects youth and the yearning for beauty that the protagonist is feeling, how they had pursued this beauty due to "society norms" all their life and it has only made them rot and lose all respect for their true self to the point they search the approval from other people to fill that void and find some satisfaction in what they've been doing to live with themselves every day.
The way that society only keeps taking and taking away and trying to find purpose of their actions has only buried them more in this abyss.
