• Julia from UfaYou can only understand what this song is about if you've been there...
• William from South DakotaI cannot unhear this musical masterpiece. will.i.am. Thanks Cia!
• Jo from Scranton, PaIf you are close to someone who cuts, the clues are plain to see. From “hurt myself again” to “wrap me up” to “ouch.” Cutters resort to self-harm when in their emotion mind and have “lost themselves” during moments of extreme anxiety. In DBT therapy, you are taught to use the word “unsafe” when you fear your emotion mind has taken the wheel away from your wise mind. It’s painful to watch someone experience this level of emotional distress and not know what to do to help.
• Jacquelyn from Canada Honestly, this is one of my favourite songs. It has such a deep meaning, that a lot of people didn't talk about in the time this song came out. Sia went through so much hardship in her life, and you can hear in the words of her song. She writes what she feels, and people judge her for that. I think the people that judge her are massive a-holes, this woman has been through more pain than you can imagine, and writing and singing helps her cope. Her words are extremely powerful, and I can relate to them. Thank her instead of hating on her.
• Hailey from Rensselaer, IndianaThis song made a big effect on me because I've felt this way. Now people judge you for it.
• Carla from IllinoisLove this song. Her voice is so pretty.
• Josh from Perth, AustraliaI believe she wrote the song after her fiancé was killed it a car accident in Thailand before their engagement party, that's the kinda s--t that takes a long time to get over so a bit of cutting and whatever else is of small concern, anyway I'm sure she has supportive ppl around her and is getting better with each passing day :) x
• M from Toronto, OnAdele stole the piano from this song for her song "Hometown Glory."
• Carolyn from Fort Wayne, InTo me the song is more about having the very thing you need to survive and then it is taken away from you. The realization that you have to carry on and find a way back from that pain. That life goes on and the struggle to have help or not. Thinking about walls that are build for your survival and tearing them down and exposing that pain for everyone to see, and seeking the help that is desperately needed.
• Jason from Toms River, NjThis I kind of consider my theme song... I relate all too well to it and love it more then any other song out there. Its about self destruction... having something good and consistantly screwing it up eventually cause you subconciously just don't consider yourself worthy of having anything good in your life. Its also about the longing after you've screwed things up to want someone there to help you pick up the pieces and tell you its all gonna be okay. You put on this falsefront that you are strong and you can handle the situation but really you just want someone to break down the walls and really see exactly how fragile you are and how much you do in fact need their help after you've made a mistake.
• Robohobo from Frankfurt, Germanythe song is about co-dependence and to be committed by this illness.
  it's definitely not about god!
  belive me i know what i'm talking about...in that case..
• Kyle from Goleta, CaThis song is used in a promotional trailer for the game "Prince of Persia" (2008).
• Lucy from Lethbridge, AbI think this song is about self harm or an eating disorder or overcoming suicide/depression. It could also be about some type of addiction. I think "Breathe me" means walk in my shoes or see it from my view. Ah, and when her voice cracks! Wow. So amazing.
• Illyngophobia from Atlanta, GaThis is not about God. It is not a Christian song.
  Sia is a lesbian. You guys, seriously.
  This song is about loneliness.
• Yes from San Diego, CaI discovered SIA about a month ago, and I love her. This song is about loneliness and depression.
• Hablos from Toronto, CaThe real meaning of this song is hidden in analogies. It's really about a breakdancing chicken who ascends his way up the corporate ladder to one day become the executive CEO. But in doing so he is soon remiss about all the people he's had to leave behind, and the family he never had because he was concentrated on getting to where he is now. The song is actually sung from further past this point, where the chicken is on his death bed and in his final moments remembers all the things he's done and that he's left behind. As the song ends, the chicken encroaches death to the gradually fading tune of the music. There you have it ladies and gentlemen, the true meaning of the song - it's not about African children dying abroad, or love or CSI - just about a break dancing chicken and his eventual realization that he's lost everything he held dear.
• Lisa from Sydney, United StatesThis song reminds me of my ex who broke up with me after a longterm relationship. When i listen to this song, I think about the pain this person has caused me and how all I want is for him to just talk to, despite the fact that he's caused all the hurt in the first place.
• Jennifer from Gallup, NmI think she is talking to God in this song, telling him she needs him, is small without him, asking him to wrap her up. Which would fit with the context Six Feet Under played it in. And Ted, who likes Christian music, picked this song for Claire.
• Ashley from Pgh, PaThis song is so beautiful. I heard this song on youtube a few months ago. It was in Spike Lee's documentary on Hurrican Katrina.
• Billy from New Providence, NjThis song is so good. For an excellent effect when listening to it, play it while driving in your car alone. And just listen.
• Murph from Peoria, IlLike DC says ... used in a very chilling montage in Six Feet Under -- also the song used in the season previews for the final round -- the one with everyone driving old cars around in the desert.
  
  One of those songs that if you've seen the show, you can NOT listen to this song without seeing the scenes played over and over in your head.
  
• Dc from Hilo, HiUsed memorably in the series finale of SIX FEET UNDER. It's the song that plays when Claire is headed off to New York and we see a montage of the deaths of each of the main characters.
• Shae from Vegas, Nvthis is a really good song ppl dont really listen to it but it is really good and i love it
