depression metaphors



you must not be from round here

round here we fix our own cars
we pop the hoods and scratch our heads
pass me that wrench over there, no the 5/16ths
let's see here, let's see here
okay go ahead and start it

round here we stay up too late and we sleep all morning
we leave the lights off and the blinds closed
the next episode automatically plays
another drama
another unresolved problem
for $9.99 a month

round here we listen to throwback playlists from the 70s
we long for those days
even though we weren't born yet
tell mama we're comin' home
but she moved out of that blue house 10 years ago

round here the clocks don't work
someone must've taken all the batteries

round here we speak swahili
and everyone else doesn't

they must not be from round here

    Round here we listen to throwback playlists from the 70s
    tell mama we're comin home" -(Ozzy Osbourne right?)
    Love it - oh and the part about Netflix- spot on

  3. I don't know what this meant at all but it felt a lot like the rolling the windows down.
