Gabbie Hanna’s “Everything Makes Sense” explores the unhinged side of religious trauma that affects one’s well-being and self-worth in relearning what to believe in.
When Gabbie first wrote this song, it was considered a “love letter to aliens” that was supposed to be on her debut album, Trauma Que...
[Verse 1]
My voice is tired from singing to myself
Tryin' to fall asleep, tryna keep you close for now
My brain is wired from thinking to myself
Nothing feels the same, just want to make a name somehow
[Chorus]
But what's it really matter anyway?
Nothin' ever stays, every time I touch it, it just melts away
So tell me, sell me all the story I'm supposed to believe
It never mattered what I had to say, I was always wrong
Every question turned into another long lecture
Made me think that thinkin' wasn’t good for me
[Post-Chorus]
But you, you make everything make sense
You make heaven feel like less, less like a dream
And you, you make the stars feel like friends
You make Mars feel like an end that feels much safer to me
[Verse 2]
My hands are shaking from holding onto you
For too long a time, you were never mine, were you?
My back is breaking from carrying this weight
Of my flesh and bones, help me unload, won’t you?
[Chorus]
What's it really matter anyway?
Nothin' ever stays, every time I touch it, it just melts away
So tell me, sell me all the story I'm supposed to believe
It never mattered what I had to say, I was always wrong
Every question turned into another long lecture
Made me think that thinkin' wasn’t good for me
[Post-Chorus]
But you, you make everything make sense
You make heaven feel like less, less like a dream
And you, you make the stars feel like friends
You make Mars feel like an end, that feels much safer to me
But you, you make everything make sense
You make heaven feel like less, less like a dream
And you, you make the stars feel like friends
You make Mars feel like an end, that feels much safer to me

I wrote a song called “Everything Makes Sense” and it was actually at the beginning of what I would consider like “The biggest portion or the awakening of my kind of spiritual awakening,” where I’m like what do I actually believe? Because I went through so much in my life just ignoring it because I’...
