The lyrics suggest that even though the narrator knows there may be better ways of expressing themselves, they find solace in this particular form of self-expression. The song's lyrics describe a scene where someone is being attacked ("stabbed at") while another person tries to hold onto them. The imagery of a dragonfly fluttering towards its death on rotted driftwood is used to convey a sense of hopelessness and despair. The repeated phrase "Melancholia, blight on us" implies that melancholy is something that affects both the narrator and those around them. It becomes a burden or affliction on everyone involved. The last line, "And you... Melancholia, blight be upon you," suggests that the narrator is addressing someone directly, almost as if blaming them for the melancholy that they are experiencing. Overall, the song delves into the depths of negative emotions, exploring the darkness and pain associated with self-loathing and melancholy.
