dance
Werle & Stankowski Lyrics

You're watching a movie
You're lying in bed and distracting yourself with a movie because you don't have the energy to get up and face the day

Cause you can't get yourself out of bed
You're feeling extremely demotivated and don't have the desire to leave the comfort of your bed

You're feeling ashamed of all the stupid things you said
You're plagued with regret and self-doubt over some actions you recently took or things that you said

You're deeply depressed and
You're in the grip of a deep and overwhelming depression which is consuming your thoughts and emotions

Your strength is a-fading away
You're feeling weak and drained, both mentally and physically

You got an appointment
You have an important meeting or appointment that you must attend

But your haircut makes you stay
You're self-conscious about your appearance and feel embarrassed to leave the house

Now get up and dance to a song
Try to motivate yourself and push past feelings of despair by dancing along to some music

Have a rest then move on
Take a break, gather your thoughts, then try to move past your negative emotions

You don't need to be hard on yourself
Stop being self-critical and judgmental, and try to show yourself some compassion

You may not believe it my friend
You might not have faith in yourself, but others still support and believe in you

But your sorrow will end
Although your depression might feel never-ending, it will eventually subside and you'll feel better

You're taking a shower
You're trying to cleanse yourself physically and symbolically, to wash away your pain

But the stinking inside you won't leave
Despite cleaning yourself, you still feel burdened and weighed down by internal struggles

The water won't wash away the smell of your disease
No matter how hard you try, your underlying condition won't go away easily or quickly

You're playing it cool but
You're putting up a brave face and pretending that everything is okay, but it's not

Your mask isn't able to fight
Your façade is breaking down, and you're unable to put up the front anymore

The force of a million uncried tears
Your pain has built up to such an extent that you can't even express it in words or tears

Pushing up from inside
Your emotions are like an internal storm, trying to break free from within

When all the world is having the time of their life
You feel like everyone else is happy and enjoying life while you're the odd one out, struggling

And all you see is your barenaked arm and that knife
You feel vulnerable and exposed, and the temptation of self-harm or suicide looms large in your mind

Don't let it come closer to you
Don't let the thoughts of self-harm and despair overwhelm you completely

The best you can do is to dance
Try to cope with your negative emotions by doing something that lifts your spirits, like dancing
