Outdated
Outdated Perspectives: Confronting Misunderstanding and Strength in Struggle
Lyrics
Ignorance is dangerous
Ignorance is seen as a significant threat or risk.
Depression is a sickness
Depression is characterized as an illness.
Not a weakness
Depression is not a sign of weakness.
I'm done with goodbyes
Expressing a refusal to bid farewell.
I won't lose you
A commitment to not losing someone.
To their lack of understanding
Referring to the lack of comprehension from others.
Outdated way of thinking
Rejecting an outdated mindset or perspective.
This can't be ignored anymore
Emphasizing that the issue cannot be overlooked any longer.
No, I can't snap out of it
Denying the ability to quickly overcome a challenging situation.
Or grow out of it
Rejecting the idea of outgrowing a difficult circumstance.
You really think I choose to be like this?
Challenging the belief that the individual chooses to be in this state.
That it's all just in my head
Rejecting the notion that the struggles are purely imaginary.
So I should just get over it?
Sarcastically questioning the suggestion to just "get over" the difficulties.
Why didn't I think of that?
Expressing irony or sarcasm regarding a simplistic solution.
Words can be deadly
Highlighting the potential harm of spoken words.
But I won't bury another friend
Refusing to experience the loss of another friend to depression.
Actions speak louder
Emphasizing that actions speak louder than words.
And this can't happen again
Insisting that a tragic event cannot be repeated.
I would do anything but I won't bury another friend
Expressing a strong resolve to avoid losing another friend.
I'm done with goodbyes
Reiteration of the refusal to say goodbye.
I won't lose you
Reaffirming the commitment to not lose someone.
To their lack of understanding
Repeating the lack of understanding from others as a potential threat.
Outdated way of thinking
Reiteration of the rejection of an outdated mindset.
This can't be ignored anymore
Reemphasizing that the issue cannot be ignored any longer.
Showing your strength isn't hiding your pain
Stating that true strength involves being open about one's pain.
It's having the courage to let someone in
Encouraging the idea that showing vulnerability is a courageous act.
Don't confuse sickness as somebody's weakness
Warning against misunderstanding sickness as a sign of weakness.
That kind of ignorance is so dangerous
Labeling ignorance about mental health as perilous.
