This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Here are some of my thoughts...
Just lay it all down
Put your face into my neck and let it fall out
I know, I know, I know
I knew before you got home
Can you imagine coming home to someone who loves you, and they can tell... before you open your mouth exactly what is happening. I can hear a friend's voice comforting in the moment before tears, "I know, I know, I know..."
But I will learn to breathe this ugliness you see
This line, to me, means I will learn to breathe, to deal with both the self hatred of the hurting person and the darkness that this person sees... it's about saying that the friend will accept and come to this level.
You were blessed by
A different kind of inner view
It's all magnified
The highs would make you fly
But the lows make you want to die
And I was once there
Hanging from that very ledge where you are standing
So I know, I know, I know
It's easier to let go
This part is so so true in every single way. People who get depressed are often much more sensitive to the world, they have beautiful souls and a deeper inner view of the world, a different view, and so they are "blessed" in some ways but cursed in others. I don't think it necessarily means that this person has bipolar disorder, just that there are times so full of life and others when there is an insane amount of darkness. And the friend knows that it would be so much easier just to give up.
