The Knife

About The Knife

“The Knife” is the third track from Gracie Abrams' third studio album, Daughter from Hell. The song is about the kind of heartbreak that doesn’t disappear when someone leaves. The knife is a metaphor for the pain this person left behind — something that hurts, but that the narrator has carried for so long that it almost feels familiar. Instead of letting it go, she describes learning how to live with it, even taking care of it, because it has become connected to the person and the relationship she lost. .
