Depression
Vomiturition Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But cannot see
It's the fear of a man
Reality of man and woman
If I could be a child with a hole in my head
I'd take my mind out and rape it in my bed
The juices of my naked soul shall slow
Before I go
I've decided to find
The mind I've lost to the gardens of grey
Where it was left with children to cry
If I could be more pure and naked than those
Who brought me in here, I could have rosen
My hapiness out and engrave the name
Of my hatred god to it
Though others say that I'm often sad
The deserted valleys and the sand
Will prove with every springful rose
That I still exist and be
What could be more beautiful than
A funeral where grief and fear of a man
Are floating grey to the face of the truth
Of the deceased
The lyrics of Depression by Vomiturition, though dark and disturbing, offer insight into the inner turmoil of the human mind, particularly in the face of societal expectations and norms. The opening lines of the song speak to the feeling of being trapped in one’s own mind and unable to fully comprehend or communicate one’s emotions. The fear and reality of being a man or woman in society can be overwhelming, leading individuals to feel lost and disconnected from themselves and others.
The imagery used in the second stanza is graphic and disturbing, but it speaks to the desire to escape from one’s own thoughts and emotions. The line about taking one’s mind out and raping it in bed suggests a desire to take control of one’s own thoughts and feelings, even if it means violating oneself in the process. The idea of “juices” slowing could be interpreted as a release of pent-up emotions and a sense of relief from the constant pressure to conform.
The third and fourth stanzas speak to a desire for purity and simplicity, and a return to a more innocent state of being. The idea of the mind being lost in gardens of grey suggests a world where everything is murky and undefined, and the only constant is confusion and sadness. The desire to be pure and naked, to express oneself without shame or fear, is a universal human desire, even if it is often denied or suppressed by societal expectations and norms.
