Lesson in Depression
Journey Through Despair: Charley Crockett's Profound Lesson in Depression
Lyrics
Thanks for dropping by
Expressing gratitude for the listener's presence
But you don't need to see
Suggesting that the speaker has private struggles
What I do when I get sick and tired of me
Hinting at self-disgust or weariness with oneself
Come in for a while since you're already here
Inviting the listener to stay for a while
But don't expect a smile and look out for all the tears
Cautioning the listener about the speaker's emotional state
You bout to get yourself a lesson in depression
Announcing the upcoming experience of understanding depression
From the king of his profession
Claiming expertise in dealing with depression
If you chose to stay, I could help you lose your way, there isn't any question
Suggesting that staying could lead to losing direction
I appreciate you coming out here
Expressing gratitude for the listener's support
To see a broken man, haunted by his fear
Describing the speaker as broken and haunted by fear
But you better close your eyes if you don't want to know
Advising the listener to avert their eyes from the speaker's actions
What I do to me when I lose control
Implying self-destructive behavior during loss of control
You gonna get yourself a lesson in depression
Repeating the anticipation of a lesson in depression
From the king of his profession
Reiterating the claim of expertise in dealing with depression
If you chose to stay I could help you lose your way, there isn't any question
Reemphasizing the potential for losing one's way by staying
Thanks for dropping by
Expressing gratitude again for the listener's presence
But you don't need to see
Reiterating the desire to hide certain aspects of the speaker's life
What I do when I get sick and tired of me
Repeating the suggestion of weariness with oneself
Come in for a while since you're already here
Inviting the listener to stay a bit longer
But don't expect a smile and look out for all the tears
Warning the listener not to expect a positive demeanor
You gonna get yourself a lesson in depression
Reiterating the upcoming lesson in depression
From the king of his profession
Repeating the claim of expertise in dealing with depression
If you chose to stay, I could help you lose your way, there isn't any question
Reemphasizing the potential for losing direction by staying
A lesson in depression
Explicitly stating the nature of the experience as a lesson in depression
A lesson in depression
Repeating the idea of a lesson in depression
A lesson in depression
Continuing to emphasize the repetition of the lesson in depression
A lesson in depression
Reiterating the impending lesson in depression
A lesson in depression
Concluding with a final mention of the forthcoming lesson in depression
