The Cure – Prayers for Rain Lyrics 3 years ago
I am a seed buried in earth
Praying words muffled by dirt
Dirt that slowly suffocates
Praying in vain for a single drop of rain
To give me life and take my pain

The Cure – The Scream Lyrics 3 years ago
This song captures perfectly the confusion and frustration of a bipolar low. The familiarity of your surrounding tainted by a heavy feeling that somehow they're all wrong.

Yeah I've been down here before
But this time
Something really isn't right
Summer sun hangs smaller
Paler in the sky

It's like everything I know
Is twisted out and wrong
The fall sun hanging flatter
Lower in the sky

There's this confusion about what is real, the joy you felt before or the sorrow you feel now. You scream as you accept what feels overwhelmingly certain, the joy was just a dream... Temporary. Sorrow is the reality... lasting and inevitable.

You start to scream

Scream and you scream
This is not a dream
This is how it really is
There isn't any other this
Is not a dream

It doesn't feel like a change of mood, It doesn't feel like you've changed. It feels like everything and everyone else did. Where am I and how did I get here.

Scream and you scream
How we ended here
How we got from then to now
Never really followed how
We ended here

I think this song feels so much like Labyrinth from the The Cure's eponymous album (see my comments there).

The Cure – Labyrinth Lyrics 3 years ago
This is how it feels to be in a bipolar low. Everything is the same, but none of it is the same. It’s the same sun in the same sky but it’s not. The sun is cold, and the sky is wrong. Everyone insists that things are the same as they were yesterday or last week when you were happy, but they’re not. They can’t be. How can they not see that it’s all different… not the same at all... any of it. It’s like everyone is gas-lighting you, expecting you to accept their madness. In the end you give in and accept that everything has to have changed or it’s you.

This song captures that feeling perfectly.
