I'm sitting in Yedllihmad listening to it repeat and not getting any sense of "depressing". It seems more like it's trying to express what goes on over the course of a day for those who have a more simple life.

We wake up, we take stock of what we need to do for the day. We begin our labors, as the day goes on we get things accomplished. We finally get to the end of the day where we can set our labors aside and enjoy time with family or whatever until it's time to sleep and begin again.
