Actually, that's not true,

[You see, if the guys in Audioslave are going to take the time to make a video, they're not going to just settle for the same tired concept that's been recycled a hundred times over, but with a different cast of brooding and sordid characters. There needs to be something unique -- and whenever possible, something germane.] Most of the time, reading through treatments, it's like it could be any band, any song -- it doesn't matter that it's you or your song, ...

Also, even though a person may have problems with depression, sometimes you can actually be kind of comfortable in that space because you know how to operate within it.
