2LATE 4THERAPY deals with the serious topic of mental health with an almost lighthearted undertone. The intricate weaving of multiple emotions is one of the ways the author shines. The song is based on Dez’ personal struggles with depression beginning at a young age and on real events that transpired more than two decades ago.

     The song alternates between two emotional components: one of sadness and confusion, and one of understanding and growth, with the components being from the perspective of both ‘then’ and ‘now’. The ‘now’ represents a sense of relief or triumph, whereas the ‘then' represents disillusionment and a desire to end it all. The fatalistic attitude eventually makes it’s way to an understanding that life is precious and fragile, and there is nothing anyone can do to alter their circumstance when this life is terminated and there is ‘No More Later On’.

    Suicide and depression are topics that are very serious and important to Dez and he hopes that the telling of his story may be helpful and positive in someone’s life. He can truly relate to the burden of deep emotional pain, fears and tears, and is an example of what one can accomplish when they are able to overcome the despair that is silently wrapped in the complexity of sorrow.
