"I didn't go to work for a month I didn't leave my bed for eight days straight I haven't hung out with anyone 'Cause if I did, I'd have nothing to say I didn't feel angry or depressed I didn't feel anything at all"

After a certain breakup with a former lover, I remember I just handled shit bad and made myself numb to everything, just completely let go of everything that mattered. I would get to work at noon or later for months, and luckily my job let me slide for a while. I remember not caring about anything, just walking around in a total haze. This IS depression, but when it's going on you DON'T feel depressed, because you're just completely unconscious. It's weird that I've never come across another song that articulates such a simple concept. Sometimes you're depressed but you can still go through all the motions, this is beyond that.
