Lyrics

Wake up feeling so damn depressed

Expressing waking up with a deep sense of unhappiness or despair.

And then I'd go on back to sleep still feeling so depressed

Continuing the theme of persistent depression, even after trying to go back to sleep.

And then I'd dream about life that was so far gone

Reflecting on a past life or experiences that seem distant and unattainable.

Open up the front door get up off my front lawn

Symbolically leaving behind a troubled past, stepping out of the front door.

And back then I was so different I was living so thin

Describing a previous state of being markedly different and perhaps troubled.

I'd gotten used to everything living the life I was in

Adapting to and accepting a difficult lifestyle, becoming accustomed to everything.

And thank god it all changed and now I'm feeling so bliss

Expressing gratitude for positive change, feeling blissful in the present.

What I say is sincere there's not a thing that I miss

Asserting sincerity and claiming not to miss any aspects of the past life.

Now you know how I was feeling all the time

Acknowledging the pervasive negative emotions experienced previously.

Bad times had me feeling no sublime

Referring to a period of difficulty and lack of sublime experiences.

Thinking about bad thoughts all the time

Focusing on negative thoughts consistently during challenging times.

I wish I wasn't though

Expressing a desire to overcome negative thinking patterns.

Old man had taken over my mind

Suggesting an influence or impact of an older person on the speaker's mindset.

I had to get back to it costing more than a dime

Highlighting the cost and effort required to return to a better mental state.

I used sit alone and think bad thoughts all the time

Revealing a past habit of dwelling on negative thoughts while alone.

I wish I didn't though

Expressing a wish to overcome the tendency to think negatively.

Life is so meaningless

Expressing a nihilistic view, considering life as devoid of meaning.

Life is so Bad

Reiterating a negative perspective on life, emphasizing its hardships.

And I can't do nothing

Feeling powerless and unable to change the circumstances.

I can't believe I used to think like that

Reflecting on a transformation and disbelief in the past negative mindset.

Gettin rid of my bad luck by running over a cat

Using a symbolic act (running over a cat) to rid oneself of bad luck.

I'm seeing double seeing triple isn't that fuckin' weird

Describing a distorted perception, possibly induced by challenging times.

Put my energy to better things like growing my beard

Redirecting energy toward positive endeavors, like personal growth.

And everything is alright for me

Expressing contentment with the present state of having family and friends.

I got my family and my homies and maybe one day you'll see

Optimistically hoping that others will eventually understand the speaker's mindset.

The way I think nowadays you might think it's a joke

Awareness that others might perceive the speaker's current mindset as a joke.

See you sinking in your feelings while I'm perfectly afloat

Contrasting the speaker's positive state with the sinking feelings of others.

See you sinking in your feelings while I'm perfectly afloat

Repeating the contrast between the speaker's positivity and others' negativity.

See you sinking in your feeling while I'm perfectly afloat

Emphasizing the contrast once again, underscoring the speaker's buoyancy.

Now you know how I was feeling all the time

Recalling the pervasive negative feelings the speaker used to experience.

Bad times had me feeling no sublime

Referencing difficult times that lacked a sense of the sublime.

Thinking about bad thoughts all the time

Continuing to express persistent negative thoughts during challenging periods.

I wish I wasn't though

Expressing a desire to overcome the habit of negative thinking.

Old man had taken over my mind

Indicating the influence of an older person on the speaker's mindset.

I had to get back to it costing more than a dime

Highlighting the cost and effort required to return to a better mental state.

I used sit alone and think bad thoughts all the time

Reiterating a past tendency to contemplate negative thoughts while alone.

I wish I didn't though

Expressing a wish to overcome the habit of dwelling on negative thoughts.
