Cover art for Perfect Blue Buildings lyrics by Counting Crows

this song is definitely about depression. i know this because i am clinically depressed, and when i hear this song, it speaks very clearly to me. "i stay at home with my disease" is definitely a familiar thing to people with depression. i've often stayed home in bed all day, just crying because i feel so helpless. odd sleep patterns are also common, as i am always tired and yet can never make myself go to bed early. instead i stay awake, hours into the night and early morning, reflecting on how miserable i am. "it's 4:30 am on a tuesday, things don't get much worse than this" is pretty self-explanatory. while it's interesting to see others' interpretations of this beautifully tragic song, it's about depression and loneliness, and nothing more.
