Music as Therapy
Mental health has slowly become a less stigmatized topic in popular culture and many artists have opened up about their own struggles with mental illnesses. In the coming weeks I will be sharing some of my personal favorite song lyrics, albums, and even entire playlists that detail experiences related to mental health.
“Losing feeling is getting old / Was I made from a broken mold? / Hurt, I can’t shake / We’ve made every mistake / Only you know the way that I break.”
idontwannabeyouanymore, Billie Eilish
“Mind over matter is magic / I do magic / If you think about it, it’ll be over in no time / And that’s life ”
White Ferrari, Frank Ocean
” And I’m happy to admit now, I’m on my way / It seems I’m not invincible but I’m bored of the pain / And I need to explain.”
Always, Rex Orange County
