Hurt - Johnny Cash
This song, in my opinion, is about hitting your lowest moment in life. the lowest point in your depression. Something people either shouldn't or unable to relate to. He discusses how they intentionally injured themself to experience pain. They may not be able to see or feel anything, but the fact that they can still experience agony serves as a reminder that they are still alive. You must all be aware that this song is not originally by Johnny Cash but I love his voice. Nine Inch Nails had originally composed and sung it.
Fix You - Coldplay
A common interpretation of this song is that it offers consolation and hope to someone who is going through a difficult moment. Even in the middle of suffering and hardship, as the lyrics imply, there is always a chance for recovery and redemption. It makes references to loss, giving aid to those in need, love, and moving on. However, depending on the listener's experiences and perceptions, the song's precise meaning may change.
Unwell - Matchbox 20
It's a very relatable song for those who struggle with anxiety or depression, and it reminds me that things will get better someday.
This song's lyrics expose it all as the chorus said "I’m not crazy; I'm just a little unwell; I know, right now you can’t tell; but stay awhile, and maybe then you’ll see a different side of me".
