I'm curious. Are there songs you know that are about mental illness such as depression? Share down below. From my interpretation, this song deals with inner battles. "I want to breathe too. I want to swallow the rain & lay roots. Like real grass".
The first song that comes to mind is Bang Yongguk - AM 4:44. The lyrics make it really obvious that he's been dealing with a lot of internal issues. Hope he feels better soon, but mental illnesses don't go away easily. A lot of times, they don't go away at all.
beautiful sa by Bish is about somebody with depression struggling to find something beautiful in their life Listen to beautifulさ by BiSHidol #np on #SoundCloud
Tablo- Home. The lyrics describe the protagonist (Tablo) as someone whose sadness has now become his home. Those with depression may see that their illness has now enveloped their entire world. Homes for people are a familiar place, thus, Tablo's depression is a very familiar feeling.
Ga In - Black and White There are two girls in me One is black & one is white No one can deny her Black & white Even I get her confused Oh black & white No one can point fingers at her Black & white Oh Her voice wraps around my body Oh Please let me go Every time I see you, I go crazy, go crazy Your face that has coldly frozen, oh go away Every time I see you, I get tired, get tired Your breath that suffocates me in the darkness, oh black & white Oh She makes me cry and laugh Oh Please let me go Every time I see you, I go crazy, go crazy Your face that has coldly frozen, oh go away Every time I see you, I get tired, get tired Your breath that suffocates me in the darkness, oh black & white I always wait for that time Even in the confusion that makes me go crazy Hold my hand again Don’t ever hold my hand again Every time I see you, I go crazy, go crazy Your face that has coldly frozen, oh go away Every time I see you, I get tired, get tired Your breath that suffocates me in the darkness, oh black & white Ga In - Two Women Oh my darling you Oh my lover is you, my valentine I’ll tell you a story that’s really hard to believe From a long time ago There lived a different me in my heart So strangely I don’t remember the three hours with you last night She is she is really Prettier at night than during the day A bright red flower blooms with lies Its poison spreads when sweet love is whispered A more fatal temptation than an evil snake Oh my darling you What makes your clear eyes go completely blind Is a secret skill that only she has Why don’t you know who I am yet? She is she is really Prettier at night than during the day A bright red flower blooms with lies Its poison spreads when sweet love is whispered More dangerous than an evil snake Run farther away Don’t blame me if you get everything stolen tonight If you promise sweet love, it’ll be too late A more fatal temptation than an evil snake Oh my darling you Lift your head and look at me When I’m talking about this Who do you see me as in your eyes? To me both of these songs could mean she's fighting against her other self/she has split personalities/her inner demons or darkness that make her not herself. --- JeA - Mia (Lost Child) Yes it has to do with a break up but it's so much deeper than that. After the break up she spirals into such a depression she questions whether or not she should live and thinks her life is nothing but darkness now. Thinking only this person she loves was the reason for her existence but now they've gone and she feels like she has no meaning. --- Sunny Hill - Pray To me this song is easily about depression and suicide. Open to interpretation but for me it fits with the illness and it could be that she tried to kill herself and is dying but is now wishing to start again and go back. Not saying that's 100% what the song is about but it's what I feel it is. --- These are my interpretations
Taeyang - Love You Til Death Obsession/Denial/Depression... might sound like a heartbroken song but the lyrics are quite dark when you analyze them and in context, one can see that the person singing the lyrics is quite depressed and mentally unstable (Tablo is a freaking genius) Tablo - Airbag Basically, Fever's End Part 1 & 2 deal with a lot of depressing subjects balanced by songs that showed how Tablo was able to overcome his shortcomings. BIGBANG - Loser The title kinda gives it away...
this ^ during BAP hiatus, Yongguk released AM 4:44 and Zelo released No Title, below both clearly about depression. as a fan, when they released both songs, i was depressed myself. the reason why i hate ts till now and this one.. written by both yongguk and zelo in recent noir album, its about suicide for sure
ive always noticed this with gdragons and some of bigbangs songs that even though the song is upbeat but if you look up the lyrics they are actually quite sad
SUGA-THE LAST Its the story about himself,is suffering and struggles.I cried when I read the lyrics. On the other side of the famous idol rapper Stands my weak self, it’s quite dangerous Depression, OCD, they keep coming back again from time to time Hell no perhaps that might be my true self damn huh feeling estranged in reality The conflict with ideal, my head hurts Around the age of 18, socio-phobia developed in me Right, that was when my mind was gradually polluted At times I’m scared of myself too, Self hated and thanks to the depression that takes over me Min Yoongi is dead already (I’m dead) Comparing my dead passion with others, it’s now a part of my daily life On the first visit to psychiatric ward, my parents came up with me We listened to the consultation together, my parents said they don’t truly understand me I don’t understand myself well either, then who would understand? Friend? Or you? Nobody knows me well The doctor asks me I answered without any hesitation that I have done Habitual saying uh I don’t give a shit I don’t give a fuck All those words uh those words are said to hide my weak self Those days I wish I could erase Right, that performance day which I don’t remember very well The day I confronted myself when I hid inside the toilet because I was scared of people That time I, that time I I thought success will make everything fine But you see, but you see As time goes by, I feel like I’m turning into a monster I’ve exchanged my youth for success, and that monster demands for more wealth At times it puts a collar on my neck to ruin and swallow me with greed Some try to shut my mouth and say I should swallow both good and evil I don’t want it they want me to leave this hill shit shit I got it so stop it I’m the root of all this so I’ll stop myself If my misfortune is your happiness, I’ll happily stay unfortunate If I’m the figure of hate, I’ll get on the guillotine The things I’ve imaged about turns into reality My childhood dreams are in front of my eyes The night when I performed in front of 2 audience Now Tokyo Dome is right in front my nose My one and only life, I can easily live it passionately than any other my fan my hommie my fam I hope you don’t worry because I’m really okay now damn I’ve denied my nature many times My address is idol and I won’t deny The anguish that dug into my mind countless times There’s no answer at the end of wandering My pride which I thought I had given away has turned into self-respect My fans, keep your head high with pride because who can do it like me uh Seiko, Rolex, AX (hall) and Gymnastic (stadium) The heads of thousands nodding to my hand gesture Show me the money, it’s not that I couldn’t but I didn’t shit Selling ourselves or not, you all say we couldn’t do it but we didn’t shit The root of my creativity has tasted the sweet, bitter and shit of this world Those days when I laid down to sleep on the toilet floor, it’s all memories now uh they’re now memories My shoulder which shattered thanks to the accident I met during my part time job The debut which I clung as if it was my life Who do you think your fool by pretending you’ve gone through all the miseries Seiko, Rolex, AX (hall) and Gymnastic (stadium) The heads of thousands nodding to my hand gesture Sorrow created me uh look at me closely uh Selling ourselves or not you all say we couldn’t do it but we didn’t shit
all of this song is about struggle as an idol. still lonely describes how they feel after all of their schedule finished. can't see the end is about reaching for dreams eventhought you already know it's hard. woozi solo song describe that he just want a simple life despite of his role as seventeen's producer.
The only thing that came to my mind is August D-The Last. I was more shocked and afraid than sad. It hurts me to see that we could just lost Min Yoongi
