Frantic
The Lovely Feathers Lyrics

The Lovely Feathers' song "Frantic" explores themes of depression, emotional turmoil, and the struggle to find comfort in difficult times. The opening lines of the song - "Frantic, no more I could use the comfort, the comfort" - indicate the sense of desperation felt by the song's narrator. He continues speaking about the uselessness of trying to find solace, saying "Useless, no more I could choose."

The song builds on these themes with the repeated lines "Oh when we're depressed, we try hard to remember all of the sap that the trees they did deliver." This metaphorical reference to trees delivering sap as a source of comfort speaks to the fleeting and sometimes illusory nature of finding emotional stability in difficult times.

The chorus of "I'm not coming down" appears to be a declaration of resilience and the singer's determination to rise above the challenges he's facing. The song's closing lines, "You think you're lovely, well you ain't lovely anymore. Well I am just a man, a veritable tin man" suggest a loss of self-esteem and self-worth in the face of depression.

Overall, "Frantic" is a powerful exploration of the impact of depression on the human psyche, and the struggle to find stability and self-worth in the midst of such emotional turmoil.
