Let's Get Sad
Embracing Melancholy: Moonlight Social's Journey Through Life's Gray Zones
Lyrics
Hey Will, it’s not your fault
Assuring someone named Will that their situation is not their fault.
You see things as they are
Acknowledging Will's realistic perspective on life.
And doesn’t life just suck sometimes?
Reflecting on the inherent difficulties and challenges in life.
Well me? I’m a little off
Expressing a personal sense of being different or unusual.
Can’t put my finger on it
Feeling unable to pinpoint the reasons behind personal challenges.
But nothing’s ever black and white
Rejecting the idea that situations are clear-cut or easily defined.
I wish I had some clarity
Expressing a desire for clarity in life.
A handle on my head
Wanting control over one's thoughts and emotions.
I’m up then down then up at night
Experiencing emotional ups and downs, especially at night.
And for the sake of brevity
Expressing a desire for a concise resolution to ongoing struggles.
I want this shit to end
Desiring an end to the emotional back-and-forth.
This back and forth just wastes my time
Considering the emotional oscillations as a waste of time.
So let’s get sad
Suggesting a shift towards embracing sadness as a coping mechanism.
You can put on all your favorite
Encouraging the act of watching favorite episodes of Grey's Anatomy.
Episodes of Grey’s Anatomy
Linking the TV show to contemplation about a father figure.
And think about your dad
Reinforcing the theme of embracing sadness.
Let’s get sad
Repeating the call to get sad.
I’ll watch the end of Good Will Hunting
Personalizing the experience by watching the end of Good Will Hunting.
And scroll through the pictures of
Engaging in a nostalgic activity related to past pets.
Every dog that I ever had
Encouraging the continuation of the shared sadness.
Let’s get sad
Repeating the call to get sad.
Well no, I can’t be everything
Acknowledging personal limitations but offering support.
But you know I’ll always be
Promising to be a reliable source of comfort.
A safe place you can go
Positioning oneself as a refuge for shared sorrow.
To get low
Encouraging the embrace of low or sad moments.
Misery loves you and me
Highlighting the shared experience of misery.
We’re miserable company
Recognizing the mutual companionship in misery.
I think that came out wrong
Addressing a potential miscommunication and downplaying it.
My bad, whatever
Expressing indifference or nonchalance about a potential mistake.
Let’s get sad
Reiterating the invitation to embrace sadness.
We can polish off two pints
Suggesting indulgence in comfort food and complaining about unrequited love.
Of Ben & Jerry’s bitching ‘bout
Continuing the theme of shared misery over unreciprocated love.
The ones who never loved us back
Encouraging the joint experience of sadness.
Let’s get sad
Repeating the call to get sad.
Then we’ll listen to old messages
Planning to listen to old voicemail messages as an additional activity.
You saved on your last phone
Referring to saved messages, possibly related to a personal loss.
Before your grandma’s heart attack
Reflecting on the sadness associated with a grandparent's health issue.
Fuck, that’s sad
Expressing a strong emotional response to a sad memory.
Hey you, it’s not your fault
Repeating the reassurance that a situation is not someone's fault.
