Depression
Battling the Shadows: Dirty Projectors' Raw Take on Inner Struggles
Lyrics
Right here
Expressing a sense of immediate presence or desperation.
All by myself
Emphasizing solitude and isolation.
I ain't got nobody else
Conveying a lack of companionship or support.
The situation
Introducing a challenging circumstance or emotional state.
The situation is bleeding me there's no relief
Describing the intensity and inescapability of the difficult situation.
Depression
Repetition of the word "Depression" to emphasize its overwhelming impact and the impending threat of harm.
Depression
-Depression is gonna kill me tonight
-Depression
-Depression
-Depression is gonna kill me tonight
-I ain't got no friends to call my own
Stating a lack of personal connections and social bonds.
I just sit here all alone
Illustrating a state of solitary contemplation.
There's no girls, there's no girls, there's no girls
Emphasizing the absence of romantic relationships.
That wanna touch me get away I don't need your fucking sympathy
Rejecting sympathy and expressing a desire for independence despite emotional struggles.
Depression is gonna kill me tonight
Reiteration of the severe impact of depression on the individual's well-being and life.
Depression
-Depression
-Depression is gonna kill me tonight
-Depression
Highlighting the ongoing and persistent nature of depression as a threatening force.
Depression
-Depression gonna kill me
-Everybody just get away
Calling for distance and solitude due to inner turmoil.
I'm gonna boil over inside
Expressing internal emotional turmoil reaching a boiling point.
They say
Referencing external assurances of improvement, but expressing skepticism and impatience.
They say things
-They say things are gonna get better
-All I know is they fucking better
-Depression is gonna kill me tonight
Reaffirming the imminent threat of depression and its potential fatal consequences.
