Despondent: mean having lost all or nearly all hope.Implies a deep dejection arising from a conviction of the uselessness of further effort.
For this Extermination I decided to go with one song that really touches me deep down, Carla Morrison feels defeated in this track, she feels tired and she wants to stop believing, she feel less alive every moment and she just want all to pass away. I think we have all felt like this, so sad and just so weak to keep going on, we feel so useless, like it doesn't matter keep trying. This song symbolizes all of that to me and also it is on my beautiful native language, for me that's what Despondent means, feel useless, hopeless, like you feel drained of all your energy and willing to try.Whoever that doesn't mean that all is over, the other reason what I chose this song it's because despite all lyrics and feelings going around it last words are but I know I'm going to make it and I think with this feeling (adjective) it's important to find a ray of light. But anyway the main message of the song is to describe Despondent. Hope u all enjoy 💕

English Lyrics:
Everything passes
The look in my eyes is different
It is very sad and contaminates
I want to stop believing
I want to Be alone and not see
I feel less alive every day
Defeated and confused
Without knowing what to do
I can not understand
That although everything is very well
My mind continues to run
Everything passes
and life suddenly reaches me
I am tired
My mind needs to calm
Everything changes
My world feels that it will be finished by this attack
In silence I seem to doubt
Life is a process
Everyone builds its own challenge and at the same time
One feels uncertain corners
I look to the sky
I ask the world answers about what is eating me
But I have to dig in myself
That although everything is very well here
My mind continues to run
Everything passes
and life suddenly reaches me
I'm tired
My mind needs to calm
Everything changes
My world feels that it will be finished by this attack
In silence I seem to doubt
The harshness of my subtle mind
Without noticing it, it can leave me here
I want to be strong and not stop to fight.
This fight is only against myself
Everything passes
and life suddenly reaches me
I'm tired
My mind needs to calm
Everything changes
My world feels that it will be finished by this attack
But I know I’m going to make it.

MOSES SUMNEY - "DOOMED"

“Doomed” is a minimal and atmospheric tune showing off Moses’s breathy yet powerful falsetto. Questioning whether he is “doomed” if he lives his life without love, Moses asks: If one’s heart is idle, can their existence truly have meaning? With this question seemingly unanswered, “Doomed” tells of an all too common struggle aromantic people have with their identities.



[Verse 1]
Hollow one
With inverted tongue
From whence does fulfillment come?
When I expel
From this mortal shell
Will I die for living numb?

[Chorus 1]
Am I vital
If my heart is idle?
Am I doomed?
Am I vital
If my heart is idle?
Am I doomed?

[Verse 2]
I feel you
But nobody else
Though you're someone I can't see
Yet you say nothing
Of the stoic suffering
That stirs lukewarm in me
If lovelessness is godlessness
Will you cast me to the wayside?
Well, I feel the peeling of half-painted ceilings
Reveal the covering of a blank sky

[Chorus 2]
Am I vital
If my heart is idle?
Am I doomed?
Cradle me
So I can see
If I'm doomed

[Chorus 2]
Am I vital
If my heart is idle?
Am I doomed?
Cradle me
So I can see
If I'm doomed

[Outro]
Am I vital
If my heart is idle?
Am I doomed?
