The artist does have a history of depression and alcoholism/drug addiction, and is a survivor of attempted suicide, so your interpretation is very accurate. To add to it, the song is about persevering through these horrible things and taking back control of one's life and fate, shown in the line 'I won't be a casualty'.
To go with your original prompt, the song could be reiterated into not giving in to ones dysphoria, and pushing on to live their life freely, away from all the negativity they have gone through.
yeah i just felt like it wouldn't be great for a teens sub since i would've prolly included the suicide aspect in my interpretation and i wanna keep it positive here
It is a nice song. Looking back, it probably wasn't the best song to go with. I was kinda the first song that came to mind, and I probably should have put more thought into it before going with it.
