Sadness
Dj M.O.B. Lyrics

So I talk to a therapist
I seek professional help because I cannot deal with my emotions and thoughts on my own.

She's a quiet chick
My therapist is a reserved and introverted person.

I opened up to her 'cause
I confided in her because she is trained and qualified to help me.

She got a degree for this
She has studied and obtained a degree in psychology or counseling.

I feel less alone
Talking to my therapist makes me feel less isolated and lonely.

More like a clone
However, I also feel like I am just a typical patient with the same condition as many others.

'Cause I can't comprehend that I'm a rock and not a gemstone
I struggle to accept that I am not special, unique, or valuable, but just a plain and ordinary person.

Wait you know me more than I thought you did
My therapist seems to understand me better than I expected or thought she would.

How sad for you I must admit
However, I also feel ashamed and guilty for burdening her with my problems and depressing thoughts.

My mind is troubling
I experience a lot of mental distress, confusion, and uncertainty about my thoughts and feelings.

If you understand it than your bad
If my therapist can truly grasp the depth and complexity of my mental state, it means she must have had some similar issues herself.

It's hard to say 'cause no one wants to be this way
It's difficult to admit that I have mental health problems, because it goes against society's ideal of being happy, successful, and normal.

Sadness
Negative emotions such as sadness, despair, and hopelessness are predominant in my life.

Sadness is our default
It seems that being sad and feeling bad is a natural and recurring state of being for most people.

And it's gay 'cause no one ever wants to feel this way
However, this realization is also depressing and frustrating, because nobody wants to suffer from mental illnesses and emotional distress.

Sadness makes us trip and fall
The overwhelming and persistent sadness impairs our ability to function and achieve our goals, causing us to stumble and fail.

Whipping in my town bussing in the city
I move around my hometown and travel by bus in the urban areas.

Biking to my best friend's house cause she's nice and she gets me
I ride a bicycle to visit my close friend, because she is kind and sympathetic to my emotional struggles.

Learning as we go
I am trying to improve and grow as a person through new experiences, trials, and errors.

Thrifting on a budget
I shop for second-hand and affordable items to save money and reduce waste.

We don't got any money but we fly with no deposits
Despite not having much financial resources, we still manage to have fun and be happy without relying on material possessions.

We know we're stupid
We are aware of our own limitations, mistakes, and flaws, and do not claim to be perfect or superior.

Cheat on assignments
However, we sometimes resort to cheating or unethical behavior to cope with academic pressure or to avoid failure.

I don't know how they do it school fills me with frustration
I struggle to understand how other students are succeeding in school, because it causes me a lot of stress, anger, and disappointment.

Really I should drop out
At times, I feel so overwhelmed with school and life that I consider quitting or giving up.

Get famous just to pipe down
I entertain the idea of becoming a celebrity or a public figure, but only to have an excuse to retreat and avoid social interactions.

Even if I don't make it I'll regret not trying
Nonetheless, I still want to take chances and pursue my dreams, because I would otherwise regret never taking that leap of faith.

Sadness
The same theme of sadness and negativity pervades my life, but I still try to cope and manage it through different activities and strategies.

Sadness is our default
Again, the reminder that sadness is an ingrained and omnipresent aspect of our being, regardless of our efforts to avoid or overcome it.
