Lou Reed - "Perfect Day"

This song gives me infinite sadness; when he sings "You make me feel like going on / You make me forget myself" etc., it makes me imagine that the singing voice is actually a terminally ill person or someone who has done something horrific, or who is carrying an enormous and incommunicable weight on their heart, and it destroys me; I can't listen to it, it's too much, enough [presses play again].
