There's also this that I think works as a great metaphor for my recurring depression.



I'll write out the lyrics since they don't start until halfway through the song.

"Flood" by Tool

All I knew, all I believed
Are crumbling images that no longer comfort me
Scramble to reach higher ground
Order and sanity
Something to comfort me

So I take what is mine, hold what is mine
Suffocate what is mine, bury what's mine
Soon the water will come and claim what is mine
I must leave it behind and climb to a new place now

This ground is not the rock I'd thought it to be

Thought I was high, thought I was free
Thought I was there, divine destiny
I was wrong
This changes everything

Running away, running away
Running away, running away
Running away, running away
Running away, running away

I take what is mine, hold what is mine
Suffocate what is mine, bury what's mine
Soon the water will come and claim what is mine
I must leave it behind and climb to a new place

Water rising up on me
Said water rising up on me
Thought the sun would come deliver me
But the truth has come to punish me instead

Dying

Ground breaks down right under me
Cleanse and purge me in the water

I'm not sure if I can relate a hundred percent the same way, but I think it's safe to say that I also feel this song as well, as it puts some words to some feelings and such I've been dealing with lately. Also I love tool, and enjoyed listening to one of their songs, so thank you for that.

I touch the fire and it freezes me
I look into and its black
Why can't I feel?
My skin should crack and peel
I want the fire back

Now through the smoke she calls to me
To make my way across the flame
To save the day or maybe melt away
I guess its all the same

So, I will walk through the fire
Cause where else can I turn?
I will walk through the fire
And let it--

Hello by Lionel Richie.

I've been alone with you
Inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips
A thousand times
I sometimes see you
Pass outside my door

Hello!
Is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted
And my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much
I love you

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again
How much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow

Hello!
I've just got to let you know
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely?
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying I love you

Hello!
Is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely?
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying I love you
