Ana's Song - Silverchair (WARNING: very personal)

Ana's Song by Silverchair isn't the typical song I would listen to. It's like the punk/underground instruments, but the lyrics are what makes this song special to me.
In this song Daniel John's is singing about his eating disorder. All the lyrics in the song I relate to. There is a part where he sings 'Ana wrecks your life' and it makes me think of last year. I missed the first semester because I was in a residential treatment center in Arizona. I would listen to this song all the time the month before i left. I was so sick and this song described how i felt. Daniel sings about how Ana is his obsession, and how it can control him and make him act. Some of the lyrics also describe how he's like a prisoner but he'll do anything for 'it'. I can't fit everything i want to say about my eating disorder or how it made me feel because i don't know how to type it out. But this song can describe it. If you listen to it, you'll get a better understanding of what i went through and how i feel.
On a more positive note I am in recovery and don't want to ever feel that way again, it's a struggle daily but i wont stop fighting.
I hope i'm not over sharing but this song is really personal for me and i want to share who i am through music because its hard for me to say in words.
