Musically, picture four guys who grew up on early 80's Boston hardcore, give them copies of Celtic Frost's "Morbid Tales" and Sheer Terror's "Just cant hate enough" and witness the mongrel it spawns. Lyrically, singer Jason Clegg's bitter and spiteful words reflect growing up and outcast in the industrial town of Winchendon Mass, hit hard by factory closings and economic recession in recent years. Winchendon also has a rich tradition of producing some of the ugliest sounding hardcore to ever come out of the state, and Think I Care is no exception. Never dramatic, these motherfuckers play the best kind of hardcore; abrasive, reactionary and totally genuine.

Disease
Think I Care Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Had a spark once and watched it die.
And I can't think of a good reason why.
It's hard to live when you can't feel
It's hard to believe that this is what's real.
All I touch wilts and dies
And all I speak is laced in lies.
How much further will I fall
Before I'm crushed against the wall?

Now I've killed all that ever mattered
Leaving my reality shattered.
This fucked up world has sucked the life outta me.

And I have become my own disease.
I am disease.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Think I Care's song "Disease" describe the feeling of hopelessness and despair that can come with feeling disconnected from life and the world around you. The singer has lost their spark and struggles to find a reason to keep going. They feel numb and unable to experience positive emotions or sensations. The repetition of "It's hard" emphasizes the difficulty of living in this state, and the line "All I touch wilts and dies" suggests that their negative feelings are contagious and suck the life out of everything around them. They feel like they are living a lie and that their reality has been shattered, leading them to feel like they have become their own disease.

This song is powerful and relatable for anyone who has experienced depression, anxiety, or other mental health struggles. It highlights the isolating nature of these conditions and the intense feelings of hopelessness and despair that can come with them.
