The lyrics of this single are quite strong as she narrates her relationship with the disease: “When I met you, I said I would never die / But the joke was always mine ’cause I’m racing against time / And I know it’s not the end of the world, but could you pick me up at 8? / Cause my treatment starts today“.
Halsey revealed that she “was first diagnosed with Lupus SLE and then with a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder“, then added that she is “currently controlled or in remission“. She also confirmed that all proceeds from the track ‘The End’ will be donated to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as well as the Lupus Research Alliance.
