Depression
Dr. Derg Lyrics

The song "Depression" by Dr. Derg portrays the inner turmoil and desperation that can come with depression. The opening lines set the scene of someone lying broken and lost on the street, feeling disconnected from the world with voices getting quieter. The person feels trapped in their own head, unsure of where their thoughts end and reality begins. They begin to panic and feel like this is the end. The repetition of "this is the end" emphasizes the feelings of hopelessness and despair.

As the song progresses, the person tries to find a way out, but the seams of reality start to fade and they don't know where to turn. The line "this is fake, this is fake" could represent a feeling of disconnect from reality, as if everything is surreal and nothing seems real anymore. Despite feeling shaken, the person tries to reassure themselves that they are "alright" and will continue to head towards the light, but they keep getting knocked back down into the shade.

The use of psychedelic drugs is also mentioned in the song, with the line "Psycodeliks hold me on just by a thread" suggesting that they may be using drugs to cope with their depression. The person also seems to have difficulty connecting with others and feeling understood, with the line "I don't know why n****s always flex". Overall, the song captures the overwhelming and confusing nature of depression, and the struggle to find a way out.
