Bruises Lyrics

Cover art for Bruises lyrics by Jet

After I sent this song to a friend of mine who it reminded me of, I was wondering if it was about depression.

Another issue it might be about (probably isn't, but the song still works for this) is abuse. Yes, the "bruises" part is why I'm speculating that it is. The victim keeps "changing [their] mind" about whether to say anything and doesn't know what will help, ie "everything's nothing I need". The bells might be yet another wake-up call that he doesn't know whether to follow or not.

It's a good song, especially if you want to feel down in the dumps or something.
