The moment I started listening to the lyrics, I immediately understood what they were saying. Everyone sentence and analogy, the delivery, the sound, everything comes down to an expression of deep depression. As someone who deals with this from day to day, this song is one of my favorites. The line "Nothing's wrong, I'm just fine, I realized I just don't like jokes" is everything you feel about the we feel in depression: absence of meaning, emptiness of motion. |

I agree with the top comment here: this song is about the strange ability to aptly empathize, and how it could be seen as useful, but not really that great. But, when I first listened to it, I drew strong parallels from what was being described here to my own episodes of depressions, which eventually led me to believe it was kind of an ironic song about the strange things depression and heartbreak do, though, now that I think about it, the first idea about it being a song about empathy makes more sense with lines like "a lover, half a million miles a way." In general, absolutely beautiful song lyrics anyway. |
