I survived

I wore Ambien and I hated it

   She talks in an interview about how she was addicted to oxycotin and Xanax and was very depressed and thought about suicide. Instead she got sober and made it through. I would wager that this song has a lot to do with her getting clean and getting her life back.

   I think sia songs about her though childhood life which was so unbearable

   She grew up too fast experiencing the bad side of life in early stage.
   Here, she is looking at things she has done and is grateful that non of those consumed her "i have made every single mistake, that you could ever possibly make"

   I think this song is describing how Sia grew up and realized that not everything had to be turned against her, but that as much as she would like to reflect on the bad things that have occurred she is thankful that she or anybody made it through.
