'Cause the world might do me in
It's all right cause I'm with friends
Cause I'm giving up again
It doesn't matter

And I'm feeling like a ghost
And it's what I hate the most
'Cause I'm giving up again
And this time (this time, this time)

This time I might just disappear
This time I might just dis
This time I might just disappear
This time I might just dis

Try and hear me then I'm done
'Cause I might just say this once
Seen this played out in my dream
It doesn't matter

Time for givin' up the ghost
Fuck, it's you I hate the most
And there is no guarantee
It doesn't matter

This time I might just disappear
This time I might just dis
This time I might just disappear
This time I might just dis

    My Interpretation

    So this might seem like a bit of a stretch, but this is my own personal interpretation.

    I suffer from major anxiety disorder, bipolar depression and PTSD. As such, I have horrific panic attacks that make me feel like I'm literally going to die. I can hardly breath, my heart feels numb and the panic sets in. So, for me on a personal level this song relates to how it feels when I go through my panic attacks.

    "'Cause the world might do me in It's all right cause I'm with friends Cause I'm giving up again It doesn't matter"

    The only thing that makes me feel like I can make it out of these attacks are those who are closest to me. Almost every single attack that I've had has been broken because of someone I love helping me through it. Still even with them I still feel like I can't make it and need to give up.

    "And I'm feeling like a ghost And it's what I hate the most 'Cause I'm giving up again And this time (this time, this time)

    This time I might just disappear This time I might just dis This time I might just disappear This time I might just dis"

    My panic attacks are probably the most hated thing about my entire life and every time I have one feel like it could be the last breath that I take on this earth and I might just "disappear".

    "Try and hear me then I'm done 'Cause I might just say this once Seen this played out in my dream It doesn't matter"

    For me, this is when I talk with those close to me during my attacks. I worry so much that I might not make it and I've seen the worst played out in my dreams, in my head, multiple times.

    "Time for givin' up the ghost Fuck, it's you I hate the most And there is no guarantee It doesn't matter"

    For myself, this is me trying to break the cycle of the attack even though I feel like I can't. It's me saying I hate it, there's no guarantee I'll make it and I might still disappear.

    Like I said, this may seem like a stretch but this song resonates with me. I feel like it describes how I feel and gives me something to connect to. I just had a bad attack last night and today, this has been the song on repeat to get me through the day. I will say as someone with depression that I can also fully see and connect with daazninvazn131 interpretation as well.
