    This is a song about depression. But in a way, its really-er- uplifting. I like the song so I guess it was worth the excruciating rejection. Not so bad in hindsight. Oh well, I guess all things happen for a reason.

    Story Behind the Song
    The original inspiration was a girl that wouldn't have anything to do with me. But it became something more than that, an essay on the downward spiral of depression. Although there are a couple of rays of sunshine that come through. When I sing "for now Ive got to keep my chin up," I really mean just that, although the ambiguity of the line in this context makes the song that much more pointed.

    Lyrics
    Dangle

    Tonight I dangle from the ceiling
    I dont know when I lost my will to live
    Hey, if you see it could you give it back to me

    For now Ive got to keep my chin up
    Tonight Im gonna keep my head in the clouds
    Maybe up there you couldnt look down on me

    Its funny how my dream has come true
    Does it mean the dreaming is through
    What if I cant find something new

    Tonight I want to scratch my face off
    Maybe Ill drive into a head-on
    Id try to end it but Id fuck that up, too

    For now Ill try to keep my chin up
    Im almost ready to let go of this world
    Im about ready to release this caged bird

    Its funny how my dream has come true
    Does it mean the dreaming is through
    What if I cant find something new

    Tonight I dangle from the ceiling
    I watch the little people circle around
    Dont have to worry cause your secrets safe with me

    Hey, are you ever gonna wake up?
    When are you gonna get your head out your ass?
    When are you gonna take a good look at me?
    Would you like what you see?

    For now Ive got to keep my chin up
    Tonight Im gonna keep my head in the clouds
    Maybe from there the end wont seem so far away
