g0df0x: An anthropomorphic goat-like character. His mouth is open to show off sharp teeth and he's breathing blue fire. (jakkal)

GASHIMA - 'SSRI' [JP -> EN]

Why did I translate this song? Because I'm in this photo and I don't like it.




I've got to escape this room
I've got to escape this environment
Songs that go, "You're great just for being alive!"
Have never done anything for me
Fly, fly, the SSRIs I took after a misdiagnosis
Fly, fly, when I'm flying, I'm not depressed, I'm manic

It's like I'm drowning in a nightmare
And even when I wake up, there's no escaping it
"I'm sure things will get better someday!"
Spoken like someone who has no idea what he's talking about

Oh, tell me, because aside from you,
I can't think of a single reason to live
Oh, the sky, that sky over there
Take me to my end of the line

Sitting in this brutally light waiting room
I can't see any way out from the days like these
Hearing the news that someone else killed himself
Shoves at my back, saying, "you should be next to go"

I've got to escape this room
I've got to escape this environment
I swallow three Lexapro
And I feel like I can take on God
Fly, fly, the SSRIs I took after a misdiagnosis
Fly, fly, when I'm flying, I'm not depressed, I'm manic

Ah, I feel like I could just go right now
Ah, right now I feel like I can fly
I swallow three Lexapro
And I feel like I can take on God

Oh, tell me, up in the dead of night again
A melody that keeps scratching at the inside of my head
Oh, mirror, mirror, on the wall
Me, or the rest of the world-- which is the one who's crazy after all?

I tried to say "I want to be happy, too"
And I tried so hard, but I could never find a place to belong
Everyone kept singing, "You'll be fine! You're not alone!"
But I'm so tired of that bullshit

I've got to escape this room
I've got to escape this environment
Sitting in this brutally light waiting room
I can't see any way out from the days like these
Fly, fly, the SSRIs I took after a misdiagnosis
Fly, fly, when I'm flying, I'm not depressed, I'm manic

"Well, that's good. It seems you're all better now, right?"
Everyone saying that doesn't get it at all
Whether I'm up, down, or stuck in the middle
All I can do is get through life through trial and error

Don't try to make things go back to the way they were
Don't go looking for some kind of reason
What goes up must come down; what comes down must go up
It's okay if there are days where you want to die

I've got to escape this room
I've got to escape this environment
Songs that go, "You're great just for being alive!"
Have never done anything for me
Fly, fly, the SSRIs I took after a misdiagnosis
Fly, fly, when I'm flying, I'm not depressed, I'm manic

Fly, fly, when I'm flying, I'm not depressed, I'm manic
