When you're dealing with depression, music can serve as an emotional outlet in a way few other mediums do.

Sometimes song lyrics can offer comfort and reassurance when you need it most.

Yellowcard – "Dear Bobbie."

Others may help you articulate the feelings you may have struggled to understand or describe.

Taylor Swift – "Clean."

Some songs help release the anger or confusion you may be feeling.

Taking Back Sunday – "You Know How I Do."

While others might have brought you small moments of positivity or hope when you didn't feel those emotions would be possible.

Brandon Flowers – "Only The Young."

And there may have been one lyric that you played in your mind a lot, because it made you feel stronger, when you needed that boost the most.

Demi Lovato – "Skyscraper."

Or perhaps it's completely different – a song lyric whose meaning is completely unique to you and your experiences.
