Depression

Lil Happy Lil Sad's song 'Depression' is a raw and unfiltered exploration of the artist's battle with mental health issues, particularly depression. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the daily struggles faced by someone dealing with this debilitating condition. The opening lines, 'Wake up no motivation / For months now no inspiration,' immediately set the tone for the song, highlighting the pervasive sense of hopelessness and lack of drive that often accompanies depression. This is further emphasized by the recurring theme of feeling stuck in a cycle, as seen in the line, 'Spiral back to depression / When will I learn my lessons?'

The song delves deeper into the emotional turmoil with lines like 'Not having fun no 'cause the money's talkin'' and 'I'm feeling empty so I keep on searchin'.' These lyrics suggest that external successes, such as financial gain, do little to alleviate the internal emptiness and dissatisfaction. The artist's candid admission of wanting to 'pack my shit and leave this place' and feeling 'sick of waiting for no better days' underscores the desperation and desire for escape that many people with depression experience.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics take a darker turn with self-deprecating lines like 'You won't, you can't / Nah you're the worst / And you suck at all / That you do.' This internal dialogue reflects the harsh self-criticism and feelings of worthlessness that are common in depression. However, despite these negative thoughts, there is a glimmer of resilience in the lines 'I'll do it anyway / Get the fuck out my face / Don't give a fuck what you say.' This defiance suggests a determination to keep going, even when it feels like there's no point. The song ends on a poignant note with 'Think I'm going insane / I'll be dead at this rate,' capturing the intense and often overwhelming nature of the struggle with mental health.
