For You

Get Scared's song 'For You' delves deep into the emotional struggles and inner turmoil of someone grappling with addiction, self-worth, and the desperate need for salvation through love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has lost themselves in a cycle of self-destructive behavior, symbolized by the recurring mention of alcohol. The line 'I lost myself in a bottle of gin and I'm wasted all the time' sets the tone for the song, highlighting the protagonist's reliance on substances to cope with their failures and emotional pain.

The chorus reveals a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos, as the protagonist believes that their 'crazy' personality might be the perfect match for someone else's style. This belief fuels their hope that this person can save them from their downward spiral. The repeated phrase 'For you' underscores the depth of their feelings and the extent to which they are willing to change for the better. The song captures the essence of feeling neglected and reckless, yet holding onto the hope that love can be a transformative force.

In the latter part of the song, there is a shift towards a more determined mindset. The protagonist expresses a desire to overcome their problems and not let their issues define them. The lines 'I will not let myself become my problem' and 'I will not stop until I truly solve this' reflect a newfound resolve to fight their demons. This shift signifies a journey from despair to a glimmer of hope, driven by the belief that love and self-improvement can lead to redemption. 'For You' is a raw and honest portrayal of the struggle between self-destruction and the hope for salvation through love and personal growth.
