I kiss the scars on her skin

About

Many people believe that the song “A Match Into Water” is about self harm and suicide due to the first few lines:

I kissed the scars on her skin/I still think you’re beautiful/ And I don’t ever want to lose my best friend./I screamed out, “God, you vulture./Bring her back or take me with her'”.

In reality the song was written about Vic Fuentes’s ex-girlfriend being diagnosed with breast cancer and her struggle to beat it.
