I wrote this song to unpack the idea that at the end of the day all one is physically left with is themself. Through much pain it's bearable while one is distracted during the day referencing the day as a friend. Once the comfort (the day) disappears nothing is left but oneself fighting the war against themselves. The dread of accepting this reality leaves the bed we lie on less like reliving rest but more so feeling like the painful stabbing "Thorn".
