Saline Solution - Wilbur (Analysis)

This song isn't speaking on heartbreak or thoughts that flood in when you see your friends growing out of the person you thought they were. This song is more of an account of someone who is in a constant battle with their own mind and even body at times. A hypochondriac, or someone suffering from somatic symptom disorder, as its now called. Its a panic that comes through when you feel a sharp pain in your side from overstimulating yourself, or even the faint blurring of nausea that could stem from a number of conditions you can't identify, it simply could be dehydration for those in hot states. Regardless, your mind kicks into overdrive, trying to label something that cannot be labeled, and destroying itself when it can't pinpoint a solution. Believing you have a disease or physical injury though you may be perfectly okay is the effect of it all, setting off a spiral where no matter what you do, something feels broken within your body that you cannot solve. And there's no true pause to it, lingering in the back of your mind until it fights past the 'you' that knows you're fine and starting the cycle once again.
