I have a question for BR your lyrics "depression is a fundamental state if being" now I understand the meanings for fundamental and suffer with clinical depression (plus a few extras) but regardless of how much I ponder on this I cant figure out what that verse actually means, if you could explain what those lyrics ment to you when you wrote them that would be awesome or if you could give me some insight on what a "fundamental state of being" is, p.s, huge fan and keep them songs coming
i hate to break it to you but there is absolutely NO way the lead singer of BR will reply to you to answer your question. Also i am like 99.9999999999% positive they are no longer making music. To answer your question though, here is how i see it, fundamental means- forming a necessary base or core; of central importance. What i think he meant is that depression is something that everybody gets whether it is chronic or because of shit happening in your life, and he is trying to say that depression is something that makes us human and is at the core of every human being, and it is one of our root emotions, it is something that makes us human (like being insane at times) it is a fundamental state of being because it is something we all have and is one of the core things that makes us human. this is all just my opinion though, if i helped at all then i did what i was trying to do lol!
Phil Stanwell this is a year old but its a fun question. So the way i interperate is first this song is about barely holding yourself and slipping into a recoiling depression and so our humble narrator is in a Bleak place, a rut they cant escape from, anyone with depression can understand that, its not about good or bad days, life just turns grey everday. Dont over think it its a song about failing to keep it together. If you wanna go deeper a lot of bad religion songs are about what i wanna call scientific nhilism i guess. The human expierence is a happy little delusion in an infinite void of space and cosmic scatter, our civilization is practically already the dust that predates us for an immersable amount of time, so functioning under societies exoectations with the knowledge this a is all a dumb lie is gonna make you crazy or deepely deeply depressed. Only kinda realted, how you holding up mentally bud, battled with that my whole life as well, its sucks but i hope your getting help! Your life is governend by a sack of meat in your skull and you can fuck with that meat to make you feel better.
One of the best punk rock albums ever....
One of my favorite songs of all time since I was fourteen. Blew my mind away ever since
This has been one of my favorite bad religion songs since it was created.
perfect song
As much as I've heard this song over the years, I never realized they reused the music for Faith Alone.
This song is nice! :D
Anyone blasting this with me in post-delection 2020?

Depression isn't exclusive to you. We all deal with it. All of us. This makes it a fundamental state of being a human.
At least this is how I take it.
