Domestic Subway Lyrics

You've got so many things going your way today
but still you are lonely and noone listens to the things that you say
depression is a lesson that you really gotta hold on to
or is it fucked up anyway for you

You've got so many things to say but that wont help you anyway
because you're messed up and you're lost in other peoples thoughts

Tough situation you belive that you're afraid of yourself
you're looking around for directions and clues
but you should look somewhere else
cause somewhere inside you you can find the strength you are searching for
or is it fucked up anyway for you

Do it for yourself today you have to find a way so do it for your self.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The author is addressing someone ("You"), analysing his being lost in his own thoughts. Since the author is known to express his feelings one can assume he is talking to himself. Either that or to a close friend, since he seems to know the person quite well. That person he talks to is feeling bad, which is described using words like "depression", "lonely", "messed up" etc.. Especially the term "depression" leads to the assumption the person is experiencing a phase of disorientation and self-centeredness, that is so typical for teenagers looking for a meaning in their lives. "Depression" or "being depressive" is - in my own experience - often used in an inflationary way by young people, whose thoughts just circle about themselves in self-pity.

In a nutshell - the person addressed is drowning in self-pity trying to figure out the ins and outs of life, but failing, since he's caught in the vicious circle of his own thoughts.

Cheers!
