This is textbook depression. I can't think of a better song that describes the symptoms.

The lack of appetite. The wallowing in the "darkness." The feeling of indifference. The feeling of not being in touch with the world.

I think psychologists should use this song as a diagnostic tool to determine if someone is suffering depression. If they can relate to this song too well, then they need some serious therapy.
