Losing Ground

from Cold Light by Special Costello

/

about

This is a document of my struggle with depression. In an attempt to come to terms with this invisible handicap I've taken to openly talking about it to make sure people know that it's a part of my life. It's hard to understand for people without it, and there's nothing to be done even if it's understood. Therefore depressives live in a constant internal struggle, trying to keep ahead of their limited motivation. This song comes from a defeated moment, where everything seems unattainable, or too difficult to achieve. For me these moments are rare and therefore I am lucky. I want to live my life, handicap or not. My art is a way I can deal with depression productively. Dig it or don't, I've gotten what I want out of it already.

Best Wishes,
Jeremy

lyrics

I'm afraid i might not come back
I fear that I might never be the same
I'm always losing ground
Sand falls away under my feel
Cold light reveal what I've become
A tired shell trying to stay in love

I tumble into boundless darkness
This constant I ignore
This tide I try to push away
Will one day take me under
And all the things I've tried to love
Will lose sight of what I once was
Cold light reveal what I've become

It's not that I don't try
It's just become so hard
To find the will to carry on
In this struggle with my mind
You might preserve my joy and love
With your strength you may restore my trust
Cold light reveal what I've become

Cold light reveal what I've become
A stolen youth trying to stay in love
Cold light, cold cold light
