This song explores deep themes with a story of intense emotional pain. The lyrics depict a vivid imagery of craw towards someone’s desperate aid that feels as though it is being ignored. MANNERS captures the true essence of heartbreak through powerful yet simple words. Abandonment is the key negative factor along with the skillful dealing of mental health issues. This song is painful on a personal level. 

The song starts by depicting a sense of urgency and one in distress. Spasms of shortness of breath and tightness in the chest is the way MANNERS describes herself. Such imagery puts one in a state of panic which isn’t subtle at all. Instead, this serves as a strong metaphor for emotional pain and sorrow. This evokes the ‘voice of war’ that feels as if one is putting an attempt towards making things better. Such imagery in the song makes everything more intense. Having the power to get in and out of shower only to make it worse only enrages the attempt towards attaining betterment. The imagery of an Inhaler symbolizes the ongoing struggle with one’s emotions; possibly anxiety or panic attacks. 

As we move towards the song, the pain starts getting worse and we get to know it is a neglection that is established out of a failing relationship. MANNERS expresses her views as a feeling of rejection. This line hits hard as it pronounces their attempt to be the solution to someone else’s problem only to find that they did not do anything at all. The fact that one’s cries for help were deleted hints at a more ignored and neglected state when they really needed someone let down by more than one person. There is a very powerful feeling of desolation, feeling abandoned in the middle of a relationship that had once been very close. 

The repetition in the song has some of the greatest guardrails. The repetition of the phrase serves to evoke the idea of being invited into a cycle of pain as the chorus is repeated. Vocal wonders of “do not utter love unless you truly mean it” illustrate deception as an injury. It is asking for true sincerity, attacking the casual use of love phrses. They feel beaten down and frustrated which is easy for listeners to connect with. 

The second verse only adds more layers to the issues, changing from physical symptoms needing medical treatment to needing therapy. Punching walls is a clear sign of self-destructive behavior that MANNERS refers to alongside a glimpse of acute happiness that is long gone.

Not only is the ring a symbol of great value but also suggests that while the bond between the two people was strong at one point, it has now turned into an agonizing memory of the past. The line involving the potential use of medication to numb the overwhelming feeling has an honest and blunt disposition. This piece of the song is extremely powerful as it depicts the reality of most people, who are always on the edge because of depression and anxiety, looking for any reason to keep moving even when the situation feels achingly hopeless. 

The line “I’m not the treatment that he needed” is repeated toward the end of the song to amplify the sensation of discontentment and self-loathing. MANNERS appears to contemplate their worth, questioning what in them was insufficient to help the person they cared about profoundly. The last few lines of the song evoke the same emotion as the rest of the song which seems to suggest feeling abandoned and untreated, exposing to pain all alone. 

It is unwritten truth that people connect with songs based on their own personal experiences, memories or feelings which is what makes this song hit the mark because the bare it without provision. Instead of trying to polish the heartbreaking experience psychiatric affliction, the lyrics capture the emotion bare. MANNERS has certainly done a remarkable job of beautifully expressing pain MANNERS so many people face and turning it into a gem of a song that will provide comfort to tons.

“Untreated (Rebooted)” serves as an assertive reminder of the importance of mental health, one’s self-worth and the consequences of leaving emotional scars unattended.
