I said the other song I posted today, "When I die the ink will live on" was depressing, but Doodles pointed out the cheerful side of it to me and it actually seems like quite a hopeful tune to me now, even though it started out reminiscing on depression. Now, this one actually is depressing. Its subtle social commentary as well... its something that really frustrates me. I think I have been listening to too much Joy Division today... I have a compulsion to finish up all of these depressing song ideas I had.
(EDIT: I think this will be danceable as well... but not exactly in the dance anthem way Vodka was... suddenly twisted dance tunes are becoming my forte)
I spend a lot of time alone,
I lie in bed and hug my phone,
On Saturdays I might go out,
And dance desperately,
That grey man he’s a doctor now,
He dances desperately,
And all of us are happy while,
We dance desperately.
I can’t shake this feeling that I’m dead,
(Shake, shake)
I can't shake this feeling that I'm dead,
(Shake, shake)
I can’t shake this feeling that I’m dead.
(Shake, shake)
(Shake, shake)
I lend my days out to the man,
Avoid work on Instagram,
And overtime leads to the night of,
Dancing desperately,
People turn your phone lights off,
And dance desperately,
Won’t you zombies join me while I,
Dance desperately.
I can’t shake this feeling that I’m dead,
(Shake, shake)
I can’t shake this feeling that I’m dead,
(Shake, shake)
I can't shake this feeling that I'm dead.
(Shake, shake)
(Shake, shake)
I’m not sure I’m feeling any feelings cos my feelings are used up,
On feeling stuff you cannot feel, it is not real, but fills you up,
With happy juice that floods your brain but leaves you with a dulling pain,
From the part of your rotting brain that remembers that you’ll die.
So dance desperately,
Dance desperately,
Dance desperately.
I can’t shake this feeling that I’m dead,
(Shake, Shake)
And there are only useless thoughts inside my useless head,
I can’t shake this feeling that I’m dead,
(Shake, Shake)
And I hope that someday I’ll be born again,
(Shake, shake)
I hope that someday I’ll be born again,
(Shake, shake)
I hope that someday I’ll be born again.
(Shake, shake)
(Shake, shake)
(Shake, shake)
