So, I just graduated from college and it was basically my senior year, moving into a house
with my friends, living with people on a day-to-day basis, waking up at noon on the weekends and
then [Ab] my friends have already been up for three hours because they have to wake up and fucking
take antidepressants in the morning.
And so the moment that spurred the writing of this song was basically the realization
that half my friends at [Em] school are on antidepressants and how many people mental illness is actually
affecting and how little people actually talk about it.
I hope that the people that hear the song just know that they're not alone with whatever
it is they're dealing with.
Nobody talks about mental illness.
Nobody has at least until a couple years ago and Logic's song really did a lot just for
mental illness in general, but one song isn't enough to get people talking about this.
Some days I don't feel like trying, so what the fuck are you on?
I was an RA for one year, so I was involved in this tight-knit community of rah-rah, college
spirit go-getter people.
They were always so smiley and so happy to see me.
In the beginning, it's like, okay, I have energy for this, but after a couple weeks,
it's like, how are you still like this?
How do you have the energy to come at me with that huge [N] smile?
I just don't have the emotional energy to return that, so it's like, are you actually that happy?
Or are you just
It must take a lot of effort to put that huge smile on your face
all the time if that's not actually how you're feeling.
I feel like there's a certain kind of person that's just in their head overthinking every
single thing to get on with their day.
And then that night, we go out and we drink to get out of our heads.
It works for that night and it's fun.
You wake up the next day and you feel like trash and you start all over again.
It's like you're not getting to the root of the problem.
So somebody that's dealing with depression, a lot of people just look at them like they're
sad or they just dealt with something that was hard to deal with.
And they look at you and they're like, dude, just don't worry about it.
These things happen in our life.
You're just sad.
That line is basically just about people not believing that you're feeling the way that you're feeling.
Depression, anxiety, mental illness is something a lot of people deal with.
And I feel like the older generations are gaslighting us.
Pretending we know things.
I don't know what happened.
My natural reaction is that we're scared.
No I can't really keep lying.
Cause I've been scared all along.
When I look back at all the decisions I've made to get me here, it's like okay, I was
calm, I was rational, I was thinking about what I was doing when I made these decisions.
And that's why it played out for me.
As soon as I get careless or I do something stupid on a whim or don't think something
through as much as I should, I'm confident that everything is going to turn out okay.
I don't feel like I have the right to really weigh in on it, especially because I've never
taken antidepressants or anything.
There are people who need that shit to function on a daily basis.
And I think to say that they shouldn't be taking that as wrong.
Some people need it, some people don't need it, and some people might need it sometimes.
with my friends, living with people on a day-to-day basis, waking up at noon on the weekends and
