chapter 6

Another listen and many tears later, the best I can do is like... this song is the essence of depression, and even though we had radically different lives, his lyrical descriptions hit me like a bullseye, the first time I heard it I was shocked at how I instantly and fully related to it. I'm crying bc I understand this pain and the deep tragedy of how isolating it is even though there are countless others who feel it too, and how the very nature of this pain pushes us away from the ones who would help us out of it. And this is lived all day every day by so many of us, not just talented artists...
The song is so overwhelmingly sad, there's not much hope or positivity to take from it directly... but it seems to have touched the hearts of millions like me, and it makes me want to be better, as trite as that may sound
Not thinking is kinda their whole thing to be fair
