She doesn’t even realize she’s flinching anymore.

A door slams two houses down —
her heart races.
Someone laughs too loud at a bar —
her stomach knots.
A hand brushes her back —
and her whole body locks up.

This song is about living in survival mode —
long after the danger is gone.
It’s not that she’s scared.
It’s that she’s trained.

To shrink.
To scan every room.
To read every face before it turns.
To calculate every exit.

Her body isn’t broken —
it’s wired.
Tuned to high alert.
She didn’t ask for it.
But she had to learn it —
to stay alive.

“Body Like a Trigger” is her reckoning.
Not with him.
With herself.
With the fact that healing isn’t just emotional —
it’s physical.
It’s rewiring every instinct she built in a battlefield.

She’s not crazy.
She’s not weak.
She’s a survivor.
And her body remembers everything.
