On the YouTube lyric video, she stated that she isn’t glorifying depression for “aesthetic” and was just writing a song generated by her own feelings.
"Det er liksom den kontrasten av at det er en forventning om at man skal ha det så bra på sommeren, men så har man ikke det. Jeg har sett hvor kult andre folk hadde det, og hvor kjipt jeg synes jeg hadde det. Hvis man ikke er med venner liksom, så det er sånn dobbelt utenfor hele tida."

(Teenage suicidal)
(Why girls?)
(Emotional)
(Social anxiety)
Pretty face with pretty bad dreams
No one knows I cry in my sleep
It's a normal thing to feel like this
I don't care, I'm feeling down
I wanna stay home, never go outside
Summer depression comes every year
I just want to disappear (depression)
Summer depression
There's so much time to question my life
Summer depression
It's my summer depression
My worst habit
Is my own sadness
So I stay up all night, wondering why
I'm so tired all the time
All my friends are doing things
It's good for them, but I'm nothing
Summer depression comes every year
I just want to disappear (depression)
Summer depression (why?)
There's so much time to question my life
Summer depression
It's my summer depression
(Teenage suicidal)
(Why girls?)
(Emotional)

(Depression)
Summer depression
There's so much time to question my life
Summer depression
It's my summer depression
(Depression)
The lyrics of Girl In Red's song "Summer Depression" convey a sense of emotional turmoil and social anxiety that many teenagers experience, particularly young women. The singer describes feeling like she has to put on a happy face despite having "pretty bad dreams" and crying in her sleep. She wakes up feeling terrible and struggles with depression on a regular basis, particularly in the summer months. The singer wants to stay home and avoid going outside, as it seems that all her friends are out doing things while she feels like she is "nothing."
The song is a poignant exploration of the emotional struggles many young people face, particularly those dealing with mental health issues. It highlights the isolating effects of depression and social anxiety, which can make a person feel like they are alone in their struggles, even when surrounded by others. The line "my worst habit is my own sadness" captures the sense of helplessness that often comes with depression, as well as the difficulty of breaking free from negative thought patterns.
