| Beach House – Wishes Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| @[justinljones:27602] I interpreted it slightly differently. I definitely think it is talking about suicide and depression but I think it is going through a person's failed suicide attempt. The first verse is him convincing himself. "The roses don't care if I'm dead or alive and so does nobody else." I imagine him holding a revolver with a bullet in it spinning it- wishes on a wheel. The second verse is him in the hospital after the attempt fails. The voices in the all are family members and doctors but he still feels hopeless about the weight he can't carry due to his crippling depression. The third verse is him reflecting on living with depression. Having painful memories but putting on a happy face and acting fine in public. As someone who struggles with depression and has had a failed suicide attempt I find this song incredibly beautiful. | |
