This song is one that speaks to me very clearly. It's about depression but not in a broad sense. It's when you're in your late teens or early adult life and suddenly everything in your world changes for the bad. Triggered by a major event, it's all downhill from there. You're trying to make sense of it, trying to tell yourself it was for the best, that everything happens for a reason, but it lasts so long and you learn the hard way so quickly in everything that you have to stop lying to yourself. After months turn into years and nothing gets better, that event is no longer something that makes you stronger.. It's killing you instead. It drains the life from you. You want to forget it all even happened. You were bright eyed before and naive and it's that naivity that made you believe it was all for a good reason. But sometimes life happens and there is no reason. It doesn't make you better it just hurts. Before that thing happened you were a stronger person and you knew more because your identity was in tact. Now you just want to make it through and make sense of it.
I think it's something not everyone feels in their life, nor should they, but if you do the song will make perfect sense.
That said, things DO get better. You just have to put yourself around people who see the good things in you that you thought you lost. You'll come to believe in yourself again. :)
