Lyrics
I lost a soul that loved me, and I loved too -
A brother is the other half of all you do.
And I should know.
Why did he have to go?
It brought me to depression, which scared me to death,
Running through the black smoke,
Suddenly my heart just broke.
Depression, depression, obsession, regression,
Depression, confession, suppression, depression.
Down, down, down, down,
Down, down, down, down - depression!
Depression it can kill you and wreak your soul,
But love and real caring they can make you whole.
And I should know -
I've just been through the show.
I lay in bed and trembled, a real worried child.
Stumbling through the nerve pain
I don't wanna feel again.
Depression, depression, obsession, regression,
Depression, confession, suppression, depression.
Down, down, down, down,
Down, down, down, down - depression!
Get yourself surrounded by love -
People who know what you're thinking of.
They'll know what to say
To make your depression go a-away.
Depression, depression, obsession, regression,
Depression, confession, suppression, depression.
Down, down, down, down,
Down, down, down, down - depression!
Depression, depression, obsession, regression,
Depression, confession, suppression, depression.
Down, down, down, down,
Down, down, down, down - depression.
(Spoken): But not any more!
