    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
    Because she believed that something great is waiting out there for her she sailed through the storms and #survived
    #Alive

    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"
