The kids start out in a school playground, even at a young age you just have bad days and feel like shit with depression. Using the music video as further reasoning for my thinking. When you look at all the happy people, they've given in to all the societal norms and are brain-washed by the media and government, they don't notice all the problems with society and that culminates into you being even more depressed (perspective of yelling at society). You just always feel down and you can't understand why but you just accept it and act like you're okay (perspective of yelling at yourself). I think this song shows the dual frustrations in growing up with depression in our society today. Reason:Īnd you just don't get it, you keep it copaceticĪnd you learn to accept it, you know it's so patheticĪnd you learn to accept it, you know it's pathetic Persona B is telling Persona A, "You gotta be kidding me? You keep going through your menial life and, even though you told me that at one point you used to dream for more, you have been beaten down so many times that you have decided that this is the best you'll ever get? You have decided that you are going to be alright with this crap? You're going to put yourself in denial that you aren't truly happy at heart and pretend that everything is alright? That's so.pathetic." In a way, Persona B is trying to rile up the tiny flicker barely alive in Persona A's soul and ignite it into the flame it once was by constructive criticism. It is the voice of fight, stubbornness, standing up for your rights, change, hope, and desire. This is the part the singer comes in, referred to Persona B from now on. Persona A gives up and accepts his/her crappy situation even though deep at heart, Persona A really regrets not having/being something more. Confidence and hope for a better tomorrow is pointless so he/she becomes "grateful for what I have". The stars will never change, nothing great will ever happen, and that he/she is permanently stuck in his/her life situation. Persona A says that no matter how much he/she tries, nothing ever changes. It seems to me that the singer is talking either to himself or to another person, referred to Persona A from this point on.
