As someone who hen they turned 18, started being the youngest person in each doctor's office, to having multiple doctors write you off while you just idle and wonder. To progress to something where you barely recognize yourself because of your sickness. To finally getting a diagnosis that was very rare, "more than an experiment, more than a diagram, make them remember me." remember me who you wrote off as anxiety and anorexia, remember me as a person not just "can we use your circumstance as a case study?"
I know this song is about another soul who suffered at the hands of hospitals and doctors. But for someone who was so ill, where doctors could not figure it out and write you off, to years of watching yourself deteriorate, only for you to be worth something when a diagnosis was found. Mr. John K Samson had a way of explaining the emotion without getting into it. This song, along with the rest of his discography is something special and got me through a rough time.
