The 21st Lyrics

Cover art for The 21st lyrics by Blue October

The 21st was the date when Justin used to get his monthly anti-depression medication, and had to cope with the memories of all that he's done. It's also explaining his post-suicidal experience, when his parents distanced from him and his older brother was so upset with what he'd done. Definitely an apt depiction of how much one person's suicidal tendencies hurt everyone around them. It's really the most selfish thing someone can do.
