Armon Jay, of Dashboard Confessional fame, constructs a thoughtful indie-folk meditation on depression. In his story, the mental condition is not so much a consistent source of drama, but rather a nagging ache.
Jay talks about wanting to call help, but feeling ashamed about feeling better, and describes the feeling of nearby salvation that never seems to arrive.
It’s a well-intended piece of writing and Jay’s smooth vocal delivery guides the song admirably.
