The Naked and Famous - Spank Meaning

Song Released: 2011
Spank Lyrics
But I think I survived.
Probably better not to try to recall, 'cause it feeds it, yeah, it keeps it alive
There are specific things
That I have to do
Day to day, just to keep it at bay.
You wouldn't...

I believe this song is about children being in the grips of severe depression following the loss of a parent.

It seems to be that the song is simply about a terrifying nightmare, one that is confusing and highlighted with images from the singer's past day. This is evident in the scattered thoughts and constant "Oh, no, this isn't real." Background vocals. The artist is making a statement about how we, as humans, can never seem to escape our nightmares until we wake up (and even then, we never learn from them. We simply forget they ever even existed and carry on with out lives.)
