Depression
Mee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The day I no longer feel this pain will be the scariest one
Mirrors don't say much to me
When a hollow and dark shell is all I can see
Take my hand and grip it hard, save me from the hardest part
What's the use of all this happiness and joy?
When we're doomed to fall eternally into the void
But from myself I've always ran
And now my silence is all I hear
I'm not afraid as I feel death drawing near
I wish I could stand up again...
Hiding my face inside my hands
My life is just another line in the sand
Surrounded by people but I'm always alone
Dreaming of life in a grave of my own
Forever descending (DESCENDING)
Lost in a maze
Noided for life
Into the abyss I gaze
The first verse of Mee's song "Depression" opens with an imagery of the burial of the reasons behind the singer's smile, halting their happiness. The singer shares the paradoxical fear of getting rid of their pain and emptiness, as it leads them to question the purpose of joy and happiness when doomed to fall continually into the void. The second verse highlights the helplessness and hopelessness of the singer, where they wish they could escape their own selves but have always run away from them. The singer feels alone, even amongst people, believing that their life is just another tombstone or line in the sand as they keep spiralling towards the abyss.
The chorus contains the repetitions of the desire to stand up again, but the singer seems to have given up hope of doing so. The third and final verse of "Depression" finds the singer in complete isolation, hiding behind their hands, surrounded physically by people but still feeling alone. They are dreaming of being in a grave of their own, where they feel they'd finally be at peace. The song ends with the alliterative line "Forever Descending, Lost in a maze, Noided for life, Into the abyss I gaze," which perhaps captures the finality of the singer's mental state.
Line by Line Meaning
Reasons for my smile were buried with the sun
The things that used to make me happy are gone, taken away by something beyond my control
The day I no longer feel this pain will be the scariest one
I've been living with my pain for so long that the thought of it disappearing is terrifying, because I don't know who I am without it
Mirrors don't say much to me
When I look in the mirror, I don't see much of anything that reflects who I truly am
When a hollow and dark shell is all I can see
Instead, I see a dark, shallow version of myself that feels incomplete and unfulfilled
Take my hand and grip it hard, save me from the hardest part
I'm asking for help, for someone to be there for me during my darkest moments
What's the use of all this happiness and joy?
I question the point of happiness when it feels like it's only temporary and fleeting
When we're doomed to fall eternally into the void
I feel like I'm stuck in a never-ending cycle of despair and hopelessness, with no way out
I wish I could stand up again
I long to feel strong and capable again, but I'm struggling to find the strength to do so
But from myself I've always ran
I've been avoiding confronting my own issues and struggles, choosing instead to run from them
And now my silence is all I hear
As a result, I feel lost and alone, with my own thoughts and fears weighing heavily on me
I'm not afraid as I feel death drawing near
Despite this, the idea of death doesn't scare me, and I find myself drawn to it as a potential escape from my pain
Hiding my face inside my hands
I feel like I need to hide from the world and retreat into myself in order to cope with my struggles
My life is just another line in the sand
I feel insignificant and unimportant, like my life doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things
Surrounded by people but I'm always alone
Even when I'm around others, I feel isolated and disconnected from them, unable to truly connect or engage with them
Dreaming of life in a grave of my own
At times, I find myself fantasizing about escaping from my pain through death or isolation
Forever descending (DESCENDING)
I feel like I'm constantly spiraling down into a deeper and darker place
Lost in a maze
I feel lost and confused, unsure of how to find my way out of my current struggles
Noided for life
I feel paranoid and anxious, with my fears and anxieties following me wherever I go
Into the abyss I gaze
I find myself staring into the void of my own despair, unable to find a way out
