Meaning
This compares self-forgiveness to something irritating and hard to leave alone, which makes the struggle feel bodily and immediate. It can be taken to mean that people often cling to their own mistakes longer than to anyone else’s. The line lands when someone knows they should move on, but keeps reopening old regret.
