Barenaked Ladies', "Pinch Me"
The Lyrics:
It's like a dream - you try to remember but it's gone,
then ya try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn,
when ya try to see the world beyond your front door.
then ya try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn,
when ya try to see the world beyond your front door.
Why:
It's an upbeat song about chronic depression.

Barenaked Ladies', "The New Sad"
The Lyrics:
Everybody knows that happy is the new sad,
So I'm gonna imitate my old dad and never smile again.
So I'm gonna imitate my old dad and never smile again.
Why:
This song is entirely about dying and getting older. The cheerful guitar and bird chirps make it feel good, but It's not a feel-good song.
