this looks like it could make an interesting chorus.

floundering through my essay. urgh.
and my mind is totally not here...

weiming - inspiration comes from sources that you least expect. sometimes. like... from watching your toenails grow... or depression stemming from watever depresses you. i've realised that the easiest sadness to express is that of leaving a relationship. i think this is because theres been so many things written about it! the vocab is all there, all you need to do is rearrange it... and voila. expression.
other forms of depression, not so talked about, so theres a lack of vocab there. eg, being ostracized in school, or family problems (ok, family problems is easier than being ostracised), or smelly toenails etc. but definitely. sadness practically = failed relationship, in terms of songs at least.
just turn on the radio.
hence, my argument is that (national debators, here i come.) i could be feeling depressed about some other shit thing, like... why my toenails arent growing, but because there is a lack of a large pool of vocab to draw from to describe why people are sad when their toenails dont grow, being the unimaginative copycat that i am, i choose to express my depression in the most eloquent and avaliable form there is.
