Depression

Cotton Candy — Tigrrez Punch

2021 / germany

"Cotton Candy is a wonderful depressing, borderline weird chaotic and still somehow dancy pop song about dissociating, deep sea diving and drugs."

lyrics

Where I came from ten thousand feed below the water surface
head above the water voices never entered my ears.
I feel nothing. Who am I addicted to fuzziness comfort outside myself they discovered life

this is not dying is it
this is not dying is it
this is not dying is it

Opioids distant look in the pool
without feeling the sensation of wet.
Mermaid sleepless underwater.

this is not dying is it
this is not dying is it
this is not dying is it

Whispers loose time gone I don’t feel solid, the stranger in the mirror, cannabinoid small flashes of fluorescent fish,
fucked up sense of time, scary
things aren’t real, the ice cube nothing but a story.

this is not dying is it
this is not dying is it
this is dying

Slow me down
Spidersenses at peace there is no spoon.
Did I say something I wasn’t listening emptiness befriend me sailfish turquoise.

A little heads-up

We are aware that the topics we discuss on this website are very sensitive.

We use trigger and content warnings for our website. Why?
A trigger or content warning is in essence a “consent button for content” (1). We want to provide as much information and input as possible, also as an instrument in the healing processes. However, we understand that certain topics can trigger a psychological or physical response that may be overwhelming. “By putting choice back into the hands of those who have had traumatic experiences, they help create a safe space. This way, those with trauma can decide when and how to engage with the content.” (2) We want to show that we acknowledge your experience and encourage you to decide whether you want to engage in a certain topic or not.
