“Juliet” – a song put out by Cavetown – could be taken as being about one’s struggles with depression and anxiety at first glance.

[Verse 1]
I need to cry but I can't get anything out of my eyes
Or my head
Did I die?
I need to run but I can't get out of bed for anyone
Not for you, hun
[Verse 2]
My sour boy is a pain
I wanna shoot him in the brain
But I'd miss him in the morning
It really hurts when I need to so bad but I can't see her
My Juliet, my special girl
[Chorus]
But I need to understand
When I can power through
And when I need some help from you
When I should stand my ground
And when I need to just sit down
Sometimes I act like I know
But I'm really just a kid
With two corks in his eyes
And a bully in his head
[Verse 3]
I wanna make a colour that no one else has seen before
I wanna be so much more
I hope that she looks at me and thinks “Shit, he's so pretty”
Something I can't believe
[Chorus]
But I need to understand
When I can power through
And when I need some help from you
When I should stand my ground
And when I need to just sit down
Sometimes I act like I know
But I'm really just a kid
With two corks in his eyes
And a bully in his head
[Outro]
Sometimes I act like I know
But I'm really just a kid
With two corks in his eyes
And a bully in his head
Sometimes I act like I know
But I'm really just a kid
With two corks in his eyes
And a bully in his head
