The title of this track stems from the post tour health of Matty after Still Busts tour with thekidisfireworks. He'd damaged his body to the extent that he was finding it hard to keep his blood sugar levels down so much so that he had to triple his intake of insulin. Having a hypo was a sign that the levels were coming down but the pain in his knees he'd attributed to high sugar levels still remained.
The song is about how, having diabetes has made him more of an organised person. Something he definitely wasn't before and the theme is generally 'every cloud has a silver lining...'
lyrics
I have a flaw, it's very insistent and oh so assured, that I can't ignore it.
(try to leave me)
and I swear I'll fucking kill you.
(I'll make you see)
which one of us is in control"
try to leave me
i'll fucking kill you
We're not pictures but puzzles,
Becoming clearer with age,
Id misplaced my pieces,
Found them in this masquerade.
Spirals you turned to circles
Then unfinished boxes into rows of squares (it changed my life)
Symmetrical folds replaced the creases.
I heard (have another go)
but know that chances arent a gift but a knife from me.
Removal would be cause to bleed out, you have my sympathy.
Well you can keep your sympathy
A ruse a ruse! (Turning back on itself)
A disease a wound! (Now a picture of health.)
And much stronger now, due to healing myself.
A bruise a bruise! (But its not from abuse.)
You're stuck with this kid, you got nothing to lose.
In a seat advantage from facing the truth.
I have a flaw, it's very insistent and oh so assured, that I can't ignore it
But I dont want to. Im stronger now with you!
77 for you 57 for me!
