Depression
Villain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's just been a bad day
It's just been a bad week
Dealing with the same things
Feeling like I can't eat
I just brush it off, it ain't nothing homie
Don't even stress it
Just a dead man walking, sick of dealing with depression
It's just been a bad day
It's just been a bad week
Dealing with the same things
Feeling like I can't eat
I just brush it off, it ain't nothing homie
Don't even stress it
Just a dead man walking, sick of dealing with depression

Okay
They're not listening anyway
They just wanna' take things from your mouth, never reciprocate
So fake, so grey
Hand out for the whole thing
Planned out, calling mayday
Who's a man now with an AK to your fucking face?
My back's against the wall with this place I'm too familiar
Faces have dissolved, solitude had brought in chilling term
War inside my head, bet on which of two will kill me first
Flip a coin, sick from the poison, a point of ill return yeah

Na, they don't love you
Don't let 'em say that they love you, no
Na, they don't love you
Don't let 'em say that they love you, no
No, they don't love you like they say they do
I've been there too, yeah
I've been there too

With the women & the friends I say without I'll be okay
& Pretend like I was right, I smile wide inside a grave
No one notices my pain, feel alone & so betrayed
But I'm the only one to blame, damn

It's just been a bad day
It's just been a bad week
Dealing with the same things
Feeling like I can't eat
I just brush it off, it ain't nothing homie
Don't even stress it
Just a dead man walking, sick of dealing with depression
It's just been a bad day
It's just been a bad week
Dealing with the same things
Feeling like I can't eat
I just brush it off, it ain't nothing homie
Don't even stress it
Just a dead man walking, sick of dealing with depression

Uh, pass the marijuana smoke this way
I laugh cause I can't seem to find my face
I'm destined for failure, ya right
Make the rules as I go
Choose a mask from the drawer
Time for the circus show, yeah
You & the rest of you fucking clowns stay over there
Stay over there
Cause there's a piece of me hiding behind where most are scared
Are you scared?

Na, they don't love you
Don't let 'em say that they love you, no
Na, they don't love you
Don't let 'em say that they love you, no
No, they don't love you like they say they do
I've been there too, yeah
I've been there too





With the women & the friends I say without I'll be okay
& Pretend like I was right, I smile wide inside a grave

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Depression" by Villain depicts the struggles of an individual dealing with depression of an unkown reason. The singer expresses their frustration and anxiety about feeling like a dead man walking or a failure who can't deal with depression anymore. The first stanza of the song sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer acknowledges that it's just been a bad day or week and that they are dealing with the same things that are making it hard for them to eat. The second stanza of the song takes an aggressive tone towards society, accusing them of not listening and only wanting to take, not give. They refer to others as fake and grey, with their hands out for the whole thing. The singer feels like a dead man walking and is sick of dealing with depression.


The chorus of the song sounds like a reassuring voice that says, "Na, they don't love you, Don't let 'em say that they love you, no, No, they don't love you like they say they do, I've been there too, yeah, I've been there too." It's almost like the singer is trying to comfort themselves, reminding themselves that they are not alone and that others have experienced the same things. The third and last stanza includes some explicit details and imagery like "Pass the marijuana smoke this way, I laugh cause I can't seem to find my face," which speaks to the numbness and detachment from reality that comes with depression. The singer seems to be challenging society by asking if they are scared and showing a sense of defiance in choosing a mask from the drawer and putting on a circus show.

he's evil.. But he tried everything to make them proud in the past......

He's not evil at all! He acted like an evil person and turned into a villain and got revenge or idk because his parents didn't treat him
well and he wants to be a good father! He treated her daughter well to grow but didn't get mad at her at all!


He and perry are really close friends! ❤❤❤ really cute! ❤


But pls don't hate people! ❤

I had a really rough, tragic childhood and past, I went through mental health, I suffer from anxiety and depression, I have eczema, I have Autism and never told anybody that I have it and I don't understand some things and say things I'm not supposed to say, I had trouble controlling my emotions cause I'm very emotional, I was really extremely aggressive, got bullied and teased a lot about my height, voice, looks, hair, and how I act, girls were mean to me when I was a little kid that cause me to hate myself, people, love and being afraid to give love a chance and I been single for a long time with no love experience cause I have reasons, I had trouble listening and don't listen sometimes, being ignored a lot, being mistreated a lot, disrespected, have trust issues, serious anger issues, became a jerk to everybody, did extremely horrible things, have a messed up reputation, doesn't get along with society, nobody cares about me or checks on me, maybe I am what my older sisters feared, maybe I am an Incel. This is why I hate love, why I don't get along with society and become a villain who is evil, but sympathetic, misunderstood, and relatable with understandable motivations.

Middle School - I got bullied and teased a lot that caused me to be a bully and jerk to everybody, I once said I will shoot everyone in middle school, it did not go well, I almost got suspended, but did not, it's that moment that I realized I have Autism.

High School - I also got bullied and teased a lot that caused me to be a bully and jerk to everybody, I got hospitalized for the first time and then twice in my final year in high school after I snapped and bite a student's arm and got arrested by the police in May 2018, then I said I want to commit suicide and got taken to the ambulance, away from my high school, that's the last they seen of me.

I wish I had my chance with that really smoking hot, Latina girl with black hair back in my final year in high school, but I didn't cause I did something horrible in the end and she doesn't even think about me or know I have Autism, that I don't understand love, or even experience it. I also kind of still think of another Latina girl I knew from high school I wish I had, but didn't because of the horrible thing I did in the past and she hates me for it and texts me "you never gonna change, it's why you don't have a girlfriend, you stupid bitch", now she is with someone else and I feel sad in tears cause she's really smoking hot and attractive.

To be fair, I knew relationships don't work out since I was 9 years old because I watch a bunch of Novelas based on them and I have a thing for Latinas, but I'm also aware of how crazy and toxic they are from the Telenovelas I see on them. I have nobody now and I'm slowly getting cold and mean, not caring about anybody. I don't care anymore and gave up on love, everything, and everybody, I will worry about myself and trust nobody, have nobody, and be forever isolated and alone in the dark.

This is the only villain that I think actually has the right to be a villain besides joker

@I-luv-youtube

YES!

@THE_KREW2010

He doesn't even have the heart of a villian. He's the most wholesome charater in fiction and he deserves the tri-state area HANDED TO HIM

@destroyerdog

I agree

@YaboiZai

​@THE KMAS KREW but still he has the right to be a villain and he didnt

@THE_KREW2010
