About This Track

'Making Weight' by Casey is a 2018 rock song from the album 'Where I Go When I Am Sleeping'. The lyrics look at a person’s breakdown through an illness, with a shift from self to someone changed “before and after” it. There is regret and blame directed at no one in particular, alongside the blunt cost to family life, especially the emotional toll on a mother. The song keeps returning to what should have been said and what was missed, making its focus less on personal drama than on the small, daily erasures illness brings.

"Making Weight" is a track by Casey, from the album Where I Go When I Am Sleeping, released 16th March 2018. The track is 2:41 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about Casey.

Lyrics

Making Weight

You saw it all fall apart
You saw the person I was before and after the illness
Started pulling out my teeth
And draining the colour from my cheeks
And I can't blame you for leaving me here
But I wish that you'd told me how it upset my mother
Seeing her son's condition fading daily
It must have been so hard
She's been through hell with me so far

Between depression and colitis, I lost half of my weight
She'd find me bleeding in the bathroom, too exhausted to shake
I was embarrassed to speak up
Because a "man" should be able to care for himself
Shouldn't need medication to make it through the day
