Low

Wage War's song 'Low' delves into the profound struggles of mental health, particularly the feeling of being misunderstood and isolated in one's suffering. The repeated line, 'Don’t keep on telling me that I’m gonna pull through when you don’t know low like I do,' highlights the frustration of receiving empty reassurances from those who cannot truly grasp the depth of the singer's despair. This sentiment is a powerful reminder of the importance of empathy and understanding when supporting someone facing mental health challenges.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the internal battles the singer faces, with lines like 'I’m afraid of the things I don’t say' and 'The thoughts in my head that keep me tossing, turning, lying awake.' These phrases capture the relentless nature of anxiety and depression, where unspoken fears and intrusive thoughts can dominate one's mind. The recurring theme of 'running away' symbolizes the futile attempts to escape these internal struggles, only to find oneself trapped in a cycle of chasing unattainable victories.

The song also touches on the physical and emotional toll of these battles, with imagery such as 'Burning bridges, ripping stitches out to drown the pain' and 'Bleed me out, run me dry, watch the hammer fall.' These lines convey a sense of self-destruction and the desperate measures taken to numb the pain. The repeated plea, 'Who will save me when I can’t save myself?' underscores the feeling of helplessness and the need for external support. 'Low' is a raw and honest portrayal of the depths of despair, resonating with anyone who has faced similar struggles and emphasizing the importance of compassion and understanding in the face of mental health challenges.
