Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ain't got no one else
The situation is bleeding me
There's no relief for a person like me
Depression's got a hold of me
Depression, gotta break free
Depression's got a hold of me
I ain't got no friends to call my own
I just sit here all alone
There's no girls that want to touch me
I don't need any of your fucking sympathy
Depression's got a hold of me
Depression, I gotta break free
Depression's got a hold of me
Depression's g-gonna kill me
Everybody just get away
I'm gonna boil over inside today
They say things are gonna get better
All I know is they fuckin' better
Depression's got a hold of me
Depression, gotta break free
Depression's got a hold of me
Depression's gonna kill me
Aah, aah, depression's got a hold of me
Depression, gotta break free
Depression's got a hold of me
Depression's gonna kill me
Aah, aah!
