Analysis of Drink Food, Eat Water Repeat
Drink Food, Eat Water Repeat
(Feb 3 2024)
Drink water
You'll feel better
Eat food
It will help your mood
At least that's what they say
But all I can do is pray
Drink Food
Who cares about your mood
Eat water
Your life won't get better
Nobody cares about what you say
And who cares about your birthday
Well hello there depression
I just have one question
Why are you trying to take my life
Is it going to be with a knife
Hey depression we need to have a conversation
I know we have bad communication
We have been here before
But I can’t take it anymore
I know plain water is disgusting
But my insides are rusting
I know food isn’t appetizing
Man depression you are good at disguising
But you need to leave the house
Because you make me feel like a trapped mouse
How do I make you go away
I don't need you to stay
Hello there Julia
Your life is very peculiar
First you were give up at birth
But why don’t you question your worth
Then you were put in an orphanage
How do you still have courage
After four years you got adopted
How did you know you were wanted
In the 15 years you got abused
But why haven't you ever used
So why did your parents get divorced
How do you not feel cursed
And don’t forget about your friend Wisdom
Who made you feel stuck in her love system
And I'm going to make fun of your health
Thanks to me you don't have any wealth
Well thats where youre wrong depression
I know my life is a weird situation
I know i've been through a lot
But I can’t be bought
Yes I was given up at birth
But I always knew my worth
Yes I lived in a orphanage
But at least I had some coverage
I know I was wanted
Because I got adopted
I know I was abused
But I never felt used
I know they got a divorce
But it wasn’t from my force
Your not allowed to talk about my friend
Because she changed at the end
It's not nice to bully my health
I never cared about financial wealth
So yea I've had a rough past
But I'm not going to let that last
You can bring up all my trauma
But I don’t care for drama
You can lend me suicidal thoughts
But you’ll keep missing your shots
You can try to take over
But my gotcha day has four clovers
When will you give up
Because I will always have back up
Julia how do you not hate yourself
Because I would hate myself
After everything you’ve been through
Don’t you want to take my clue
I will always come around
You can’t stick me in the ground
We can end it all today
Come on what do you say
No thank you depression
I don’t like your therapy session
I learned to love my life
But I'm not ready for the afterlife
So yea i'll keep eating food
So I can change my mood
I wont forget to drink water
So you don’t have to be a spotter
