When I’m Relieved

Do you believe people can weep just listening to a song? Weeks ago, I was

overwhelmed by schoolwork and extracurricular activities, feeling a bit depressed but

not quite understand the uncomfortable feeling inside me. I didn’t know how to pull

myself together at that time so I chose to listen to the music, wishing that I could

cheer up by listening to them. It was the first time I felt relieved when I heard the

lyrics that spoke out for me.

It was a song called“Numb Little Bug”, I found it when I was randomly

listening to the TOP100 list on Spotify. I’ve heard the song on Instagram’s ads for a

few seconds before. The grooving rhythm prompted me to look deep into the lyrics,

and I loved it because I found it gave life an unusual and very appropriate description.

However, I didn’t know the name of the song at that time until I heard it again on

Spotify. The song precisely described the situation I was in, a depressed person that

was struggling for living. “Do you ever get a little bit tired of life. Like you're not

really happy but you don't wanna die. Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta

survive” This is the part where I found really met the situation I was in.

find something that touching in the lyrics, for I always pay attention to the rhythm

instead of the lyrics. I burst in tears because I could finally understand my complex

emotion, the lyrics described my depression precisely. After I cried, I laughed for

finally had an emotional outlet. I felt relived because I learn to embrace depressed

emotions. To acknowledge whether there are negative emotions and to find out the

origins of those emotions. The lyrics made me feel ok to coexist with my down mood.

I plugged up the courage to face life and understand that it’s ok not to be ok.

Lyrics can resonate with people, and when you found your resonation, you might

feel relived as I did. If I ever felt overwhelmed with emotions again, I would

considered listen to the music again, for I might find my circumstances inside the

lyrics.
