lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, it's crazy right?
(What d'ya mean?)
When you've been feeling like you've been chilling and living in an unappealing and crazy life?
Wait, quite scary how, weights of scary strife can overtake, taint and change your daily life
Creating greater strains and blatant gripes
That can leave one teary and bleary-eyed
Clearly you see I've been dealing with sin and I've
Came to realise that I've been feeling depression
See I found out that deep pressure can lead one to develop depression
That leads you to descending into a deep abyss
I saw this mistress by the name of Calypso
She told me to leave heaven
See she causes distress and bleak tension
To seep into your complete melon and she's threatening, yeah

[Chorus]
And as the seasons go, past this island, all I knows
That I've been fighting these miserable, feelings
In my heart and soul
There's an angel in a blue dress, and a devil in the red
Gotta watch out for what she says
Calypso oh

[Verse 2]
I should have figured
Whatever shot from her lips was, sinister
Don't trust her Cupid's bow (bow)
I should have listened
See no truth exists in this, Ogygia
It's a place of sorrow

[Pre-Chorus]
(Depression) is Calypso, and she had gone and taken over
Soon as she offered ambrosia
I should have known then
Exactly what she'd do to me
I'm detained and holed up, in pain, on her, island and
(Woah, ay-ay)

[Chorus]
And as the seasons go, past this island, all I knows
That I've been fighting these miserable, feelings
In my heart and soul
There's an angel in a blue dress, and a devil in the red
Gotta watch out for what she says
Calypso oh

[Outro]
I, I should have known
Soon as she walked right through that door
That this woman, Calypso, would be the
Death of me, yeah
[x2]
