A comment on Fatal silence: Why do so many fortysomething men kill themselves?. Parent comment
"And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking. Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines"
I'm still in my late 30's but as someone who's felt the occasional depression that's innate to being human, this tune always hits it on the head.
