The song “SET YOURSELF ON FIRE” is about the struggles of going from a teenager to an independent adult. It depicts Ruel reminiscing about his younger years and expressing his worries about becoming a full-fledged adult in society. In many cases, teens have no idea what they want to do at college or university, so they drift off, lost in a sense. This song embodies that loneliness and isolation these adolescents feel, as they move from being told what to do to having their entire lives and often careers, hanging in the balance. This drastic of a change can cause mental health issues, as people go from having a sort of ‘safety net’ to being able to hit rock bottom at any given moment, causing motivations to work hard and get that ‘safety net’ back, and triggering exhaustion, situational nausea, and stress, all emotions and statuses depicted in the song.
