This is clearly about what happens when you slip into depression and the thoughts that rely on it. I went though the exact same thing. Originally, I was this great person with flaws that I accepted, and although I wasn't the top guy around, and was certainly never a winner (I actually played into the punk fuck the system stereotype), I loved myself a lot. However, over the years. I started to erode at that idea. Why should I be a loser? And I started to attack the thing that I believed was causing me to be a loser, which was actually my humanity. Then, as the song iterates as well, my mind was a gripping struggle trying to control what I did and prevent myself from being who I was in the hopes of becoming a winner one day. As a result, relationships were hard, and eventually, anxiety and depression set in. The rest is history. Now things are better, especially with medication, but they never tell you this stuff before it happens. It seems to be at a critical time in life before you know what is really going on in the world that you go through these cognitive battles and wind up with scraped knees. |
