Depression
Nathan Wagner Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me will you miss me
When I'm gone
If I fall into the enemy
Will you keep me in your memory
Tell me will you save me
From the dark
If I let you see a little glimpse
Of what livings like

Inside my skin and

Oh
I'm drowning and nobody knows
Oh
They never listen

Don't wanna let the light burn out
But all I see are stormy clouds
And they say it's gonna be okay
I'm trying to keep the faith
But everything keeps passing by
Years'll go still black and white
Seems nothing ever turns out right
It's hard to be alive

Tell me what's the meaning
Of it all
When the sun loses its coloring
Seems like all I know is suffering
Tell me will you catch me
If I fall
Even deeper in this underworld
Will there ever be a
Hand to hold and

Oh
I'm drowning and nobody knows
Oh
They never listen

Don't wanna let the light burn out
But all I see are stormy clouds
And they say it's gonna be okay
I'm trying to keep the faith
But everything keeps passing by
Years'll go still black and white
Seems nothing ever turns out right
It's hard to be alive

Tell me will you miss me
When I'm gone
If I fall into the enemy
Will you keep me in your memory
Tell me will you save me
From the dark
When the sun loses its coloring
Seems like everything is suffering
I'm so afraid
I'm so afraid
I'm so afraid
I'm so afraid

So lost within the dark
Keep praying for a spark
A guiding light to
Rid me of this suffering
Free me from these troubling
Shadows
Shouting
Oppressing my mind
Craving their
Bounty
Won't leave me behind
Can you hear me?
Can't save myself
Not from this hell
Is no one listening?
I might need help

I see her
Trembling in the dark
With the weight of
The world in her scars
I'd lend a hand
If there's anything she'd need
I know exactly what it's
Like to feel so weak
So I'll run out with
Everything I have
Pull her out up from that
Deadly sinking sand
You're not alone
You're not alone
Don't give up hope
Don't give up hope
You're not alone
You're not alone

Don't give up hope
Don't give up hope

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nathan Wagner's song "Depression" convey a sense of despair, longing for connection, and the struggle to find hope in the midst of darkness. The singer is questioning whether someone will miss them or save them when they are gone or falling deeper into their own personal battles. The repetition of the lines "I'm drowning and nobody knows, they never listen" reflects a feeling of isolation, as if the singer feels unheard and invisible in their pain.

The lyrics also touch on the difficulty of maintaining optimism when everything seems to be going wrong. The mention of stormy clouds and the inability to see beyond the darkness suggests a constant state of hopelessness. The singer acknowledges that others may reassure them that things will be okay, but it feels empty and superficial. The line "it's hard to be alive" encapsulates the overwhelming weight of existence and the struggle to find purpose and joy in life.

In the second half of the song, the focus shifts to the singer's empathy and understanding for someone else who is also suffering. They express a willingness to help and support this person, drawing from their own experiences of feeling weak and lost. The lines "You're not alone, don't give up hope" offer a glimmer of hope amidst the despair, emphasizing the importance of connection and being there for one another.

Overall, "Depression" captures the raw emotions and challenges that come with mental health struggles. It sheds light on the profound impact of feeling unheard and invisible, while also highlighting the power of empathy and support in navigating the darkness.

Tell me will you miss me
Asking if someone will care about his absence

When I'm gone
When he is no longer around

If I fall into the enemy
If he is overcome by his inner struggles

Will you keep me in your memory
Will they remember him

Tell me will you save me
Inquiring if someone will rescue him

From the dark
From the depths of his despair

If I let you see a little glimpse
If he allows others to see his pain

Of what livings like
Of the harsh reality of life

Inside my skin
Within his own being

Oh
Expressing deep emotion

I'm drowning and nobody knows
Feeling overwhelmed and unnoticed

They never listen
Others don't pay attention to his struggles

Don't wanna let the light burn out
Doesn't want to lose hope

But all I see are stormy clouds
All he perceives is darkness and difficulty

And they say it's gonna be okay
Others try to reassure him

I'm trying to keep the faith
Doing his best to remain hopeful

But everything keeps passing by
Feeling like life is slipping away

Years'll go still black and white
Time continues but without joy

Seems nothing ever turns out right
Everything feels like a constant struggle

It's hard to be alive
Finding life difficult and burdensome

Tell me what's the meaning
Asking about the purpose of it all

Of it all
Of existence and suffering

When the sun loses its coloring
When hope and happiness fade away

Seems like all I know is suffering
Feeling consumed by pain and hardship

Tell me will you catch me
Inquiring if someone will support him

If I fall
If he stumbles and falters

Can't save myself
Unable to rescue himself from his struggles

Not from this hell
Not from this state of torment

Is no one listening?
Questioning if no one is paying attention

I might need help
Acknowledging that he may require assistance

I see her
Observing another person

Trembling in the dark
Shaking with fear and uncertainty

With the weight of
Burdened by the heaviness of

The world in her scars
Feeling the pain of the world through her wounds

I'd lend a hand
Offering to help

If there's anything she'd need
If she requires any assistance

I know exactly what it's
Understanding precisely how it feels

Like to feel so weak
To experience such vulnerability

So I'll run out with
So he will go out with

Everything I have
Using all his strength and resources

Pull her out up from that
Rescue her from that

Deadly sinking sand
Dangerous and suffocating situation

You're not alone
Assuring her that she has support

Don't give up hope
Encouraging her to keep believing

You're not alone
Assuring her that she has support

Don't give up hope
Encouraging her to keep believing

DEPRESSION
Tell me will you miss me when I’m gone
If I’ve fallen to the enemy
Will you keep me in your memory
Tell me will you save me from the dark
If I let you see a little glimpse
Of what living’s like inside my skin

Oh
I’m drowning and nobody knows
Oh
They never listen

Don’t wanna let the light burn out
But all I see are stormy clouds
And They say it’s gonna be okay
I’m trying to keep the faith
But every thing keeps passing by
Years’ll go still black and white
Seems nothing ever turns out right
It’s hard to be alive

Tell me what’s the meaning of it all
When the sunshine loses it’s coloring
Seems like all I know is suffering
Tell me will you catch me if I fall
Even deeper in this underworld
Will there ever be a hand to hold

Oh
I’m drowning and nobody knows
Oh
They never listen

Don’t wanna let the light burn out
But all I see are stormy clouds
And They say it’s gonna be okay
I’m trying to keep the faith
But every thing keeps passing by
Years’ll go still black and white
Seems nothing ever turns out right
It’s hard to be alive

Tell me will you miss me when I’m gone
If I’ve fallen to the enemy
Will you keep me in your memory
Tell me will you save me from the dark
When the sun loses it’s coloring
Seems like everything is suffering

I’m so afraid
I’m so afraid
I’m so afraid
I’m so afraid

So lost within the dark
Keep praying for a spark
A guiding light to
Rid me of this suffering
Free me from these troubling
Shadows shouting
Oppressing my mind
Craving their
Bounty won’t
Leave me behind

Can you hear me?
Can’t save myself
Not from this hell
Is no one listening?
I might need help

I see her trembling in the dark
With the weight of the world in her scars
I’d lend hand if there’s anything she’d need
I know exactly what it’s like to feel so weak
So I’ll run out with everything I have
Pull her out up from that deadly sinking sand

You’re not alone you’re not alone
Don’t give up hope don’t give up home
You’re not alone you’re not alone
Don’t give up hope don’t give up hope
You’re not alone you’re not alone
Don’t give up hope don’t give up hope

I remember what it's like to go years and years and years without feeling anything. Numb and jaded. Absolutely vacant. If that's where you are, I love you. And I'm sorry. It can feels so hopeless. But please keep fighting. I thought the best life experience I'd have was just making it through the day. I thought I'd never be able to genuinely "Enjoy" anything. But, it got better. It took years. But it got better. I love you all. Don't give up hope.

Thank you for that I don't want to articulate how much I needed to read this right now! Yesterday was difficult woke up triggered by night terrors and immediately got into verbal blowout with roommate. Flipped out enough that I abruptly punched several walls and doorframe the way you might slam your fist down on the table when you're pissed. Your comment describes better than I could how I've felt in the weeks leading up to that. We absolutely can't give up it's just so damn impossible to believe and feel like anything will ever be okay again during those dark moments it's very difficult yes. Talked everything through and calmed down a bit slower than I've been able to before but yes calmed eventually. I'm not sure how I got this much swelling bruising and such yet I promise y'all I didn't feel a thing when I was swinging and punching. No medical attention needed nothing like that and definitely safe mental health wise but that left me rattled it's the first "self injury" incident in years. Same way you totally lose hope emotionally get numb apparently you can get numb enough to break your own self and not feel anything. Well over an hour and a half passed by before I realized that my hand wasn't feeling very normal lol.

Not even a minute in, I burst into tears. Not because I have felt this, but because of the empathy I have for the people who live and breathe these lyrics. I want to help them... I want to see that they are not alone. I have to remind myself that empathy is so very important, that even the glimpses of encounters with depression, either firsthand or secondhand, are immensely valuable to the people who you are trying to reach... but it's all so hard, for both the depressed and the one who loves them, to see someone and know they might be feeling these things. It's so very hard... thank you, Nathan. I don't even know what to say, but I needed to be woken up again to those around me. Thank you.

People like you are so valuable to those of us going through depression. When we're going through it, it feels like everyone in the world must being going through the same thing b/c everything feels so hopeless and like there's no joy or strength left in the world. So it makes it seem like it's not ok to ask for help b/c you can't ask another broken person for help and put more weight on them. But when people like you speak up and say they are not going through that, it's such a source of hope because it makes us realize that not everything is basically dead; that there are still people who feel joy and hope and are happy to share it. Thank you!

@infingirl8488

@@KatWarhound Thank you for sharing, friend! It warms my heart. As a chronic empath and someone who knows people who struggle with depression, it can be a challenge sometimes to continue being there for them when I know there is little I can do to fix the matter. But that is not my job to fix things, is it? I can't fix everything wrong in this messed-up world. I instead try regardless to still be there for the people who need me, even if at times I wonder if I should give up. I haven't yet, and it has been an uphill climb, eventually. There is always hope and a way out of the darkness, no matter the struggle. Keep clinging to that truth!

@KatWarhound

It's so interesting to hear your perspective! My husband is also an empath and although he still struggles to keep giving into situations that seem to have no fix, he's found the best solution is to never expect anything in return. He just does everything b/c it feels good to give and remembers that the people he's giving to are broken and can't give him anything back and that's why they need help in the first place. I guess real love doesn't expect you to pay it back, right? He's become a much happier person b/c of it. So, keep being a hero! People desperately need a true kindness and love, even if they're too broken to say so. Your kindness makes a huge difference! @@infingirl8488

I expected a song of hope, after so much suffering, so much sadness, so much loneliness, this song is a true musical, literary and emotional masterpiece. It is simply a song for me and for many of us it reaches our souls, it gives us that breath we need from the constant struggles with ourselves, with our internal darkness, with our emptiness...

Perfectly captures the essence. Thank you for that.

I clawed myself back from depression and it took ~15 years. 15 years just lost to nothingness and void. Last voices in my head that kept telling me that I'm nothing and there is no reason to do anything went silent 7 years ago and I'm still on guard, because I know that they are there, just silent now and forbidden to ever see the light of day again. Depression is cunning and it takes a LOT to win yourself back from it, while it takes little for it to settle in. Still remember how proud I was to feel anger for the first time - first pure emotion after years of nothingness. Made me understand that there are no negative emotions - the only negative thing is lacking any emotion. That little angry light from within helped me to finally push things the right way. Then came sadness, regret, envy - I welcomed everything with open arms, cause all of it made me feel after long years of bleakness. Was almost overwhelemed by all of it, since nobody was there to tell me how to deal with this much. And now I know happiness, love, even that little feeling when you are pleased that you ate some tasty food.

I had nothing. But fought a long war within and took it all back. I won. And songs like these were the thing that helped me continue at that time, without forcing me to do anything but telling me that I'm not alone.

It does get better, people. It just takes time. Sometimes a long time.

There's soo much power in the words of all your songs that your amazing vocals impact everything with such feeling.
It helps me, I feel like I'm losing my heart and mind everyday, just wanting to fade away. My heart has been so jaded lately, but your songs remind me that things do not have to be so dark and cold.
We are not doomed to be this way forever.
So thank you for having such a impactful voice and music and being the person you are.

Thank you so much for sharing this song with us. Lately, it's been feeling like I'm slipping back into that dark place, and so hearing this song was really something I needed. I've struggled with depression and self-harm for a while, and as of today, I am 8 months clean, going on to 9 in a few weeks. Your songs have provided me comfort and helped me through the worst times of my life, and I truly believe that's what helped me get this far. I remember hearing your cover of "Would Anyone Care" by Citizen Soldier, and I absolutely fell in love with your voice. Since then, I have been listening to your songs on repeat, especially when going to sleep. So, thank you, Nathan. You never fail to impress, and I look forward to hearing what else you have in store. ❤️❤️

All of life was compiling and it got to a point where I was about to take my own life. Luckily I had intervention and ended up in the hospital for a month. Now I’m relearning how to live in the way that I can and hopefully enjoy life.

Wait, I never posted here? Seems not, but I love this song. As someone who has been struggling with depression the past recent years, this is such a perfect description. I get goosebumps at the "I'm so afraid" part, especially how it repeats as if to point out how afraid one can be when depressed of everything and of oneself. I love this song and how it touches my heart. I love you Nathan and all your songs. When I feel like nothing is left for me to fight your music heals me and gives me hope. ❤

Wow, that hits hard. And nine minutes too? You're spoiling us! I wanted to pick it some vocal highlights, but I can't, I love how you sing the whole thing! The vocals, the cadence, the arrangement of the music, the whole things just flows so brilliantly. That's not even mentioning how you have once again nailed the emotional expression! I really love how your longer songs take you through a whole experience or thought process.

A lot of it is so relatable that it can hurt, but by the end I'm full of hope and feel really good! Towards the end reminds me of a time when the only time I believed I'd be okay is when I was convincing others that they'd be okay. The entire song is really powerful, but there's a special kind of power from 7:51 onward. Thank you Nathan, your songs are a blessing. ❤️

Wow. As someone afflicted with resistant depression for more than half my life, and with no memory of living "without", this hit hard. It's a beautiful song, a haunting one. You know what's the more unfair of it all ? The color are still bright, even when you're in the darkest pit of your ilness. It seem like a small things, but everyone keep telling that when you're in depression, the colors dull, and those statements made me feel like I was faking it, like I was just a loser who was not sick enough to deserve help, a hopeless case of a pathetic human being. I had to relearn to love colors, because I hated them for so long for making me feel that way. I had to lear to love myself too, and to this day I still didn't accomplish that goal. I keep trying though. They say it's worth it. They say a lot of thing, and I frankly do not know what to believe anymore, everything seem so pointless, and the only joy I had recently was the idea that I was free to end it all if things became too unbearable.
