Gloom
Gloom is a low level of light which is so dim that there are physiological and psychological effects. Human vision at this level becomes monochrome and the place then seems dull and depressing.
Optical and psychological effects
People describe light conditions as gloomy when the rods in their eyes take over from the cones and so their vision becomes shades of grey as they lose their colour vision. Low light of this sort is associated with depression. This association was made as far back as the 2nd century by the ancient Greek physician, Aretaeus of Cappadocia, who said, "Lethargics are to be laid in the light and exposed to the rays of the sun, for the disease is gloom."
The naturally weak daylight during winter at extreme latitudes causes winter depression. Also, weaker electrical activity is found in the retinas of depressed people, which gives them poor visual contrast so that they see the world in grey, depressing hues. A solarium or other source of bright light may be used as light therapy to treat this.
Gloom (album)
Gloom is the debut album of Macabre, released in 1989. Several versions of this album exist. Some versions include the Grim Reality EP, other include a few live tracks and two songs from the Grim Reality EP.
Track listing
Gloom (card game)
Gloom is a tabletop card game created by designer Keith Baker and published by Atlas Games in 2004. It won the Origins Award for Best Traditional Card Game in 2005. Four expansion packs have been created since the release of the original game called, Unhappy Homes, Unwelcome Guests, Unquiet Dead and Unfortunate Expeditions. Additionally, In August 2011, Cthulhu Gloom, which serves as either a standalone game or a fourth expansion pack, was released, and one Cthulhu expansion pack has been released, called Unpleasant Dreams.
Gameplay
The game is for two to four players who each are given control of an eccentric family. The object of the game is to lower the self-worth points of the player's own family with cards that cause negative events, eventually killing them. At the same time, positive points are played on opponent's family members. After one family is completely killed off, the player with the lowest Family Value (the total points of all dead family members) is the winner of the game.

Gloom
by: FireworksI know it's selfish
But I wanted to say
If I nail myself up every day
Or drop down to my knees
And drive pins through my feet every day
Will I rise again too
I need to feel enlightened
I need to
Everything works out for everyone but me
Everything works out for everyone but me
My brain doesn't feel the same as it did
Four years ago
Yeah, it doesn't exist
There's just no method anymore
Just madness and a meter
That's keeping track as my time decreases
Decreases
No matter where you run
You'll always find your head
No matter where you wake up
You still made your own bed
Everything works out for everyone but me
Everything works out for everyone but me
So take what you did
Take what you did
Make sense of it
Try to make sense of it
I just threw my life against the wall
So take what you did
Hoping somewhere I'll fit
Make sense of it
Try to make sense of it
I just threw my life against the wall
Against the wall
Everything works out for everyone but
For everyone but me
Everything works out for everyone but me
