Expressing misery in life is very common. Usually, it begins with one statement, followed by another, followed by another. Here, Dido doesn’t talk about the joy in drinking or how she enjoyed the taste of it. Instead, she complains she drank too much and she shouldn’t have because she has so many bills to pay for. Then she talks about having a hangover now, making her depressing morning even more depressing.

This song is mostly directed at Ms. Wright – aka Kolleen Wright, the mother of Andre’s baby mama Erykah Badu. But André chooses to replace her name with the generic “Ms. Jackson” so that this song would remain relevant to all of the baby mama mama’s in the world.
André revealed in an interview that he was too nervous to address Erykah’s mom face to face, so he decided to apologize indirectly through this song. Ms. Wright loved the song, as Erykah revealed:
Ms. Wright on the right, with daughter Erykah
As this pearl puts her veil on
And runs out to her girls...

She will reach her peak of understanding what it means to live in this world with a faith so strong. As she has grown up, she will choose to wear the hijab, knowing all too well the consequences of it.
Afterwards, she will run out to her girls, choosing them to raise in a very similar way that Isam (her brother) has raised her. Life is tough but you never give up. You never quit. You don’t have to cry.

His sister is a 6 year old little girl. She is obviously crying over something petty and small, like little children do. Being a caring brother, he can’t stand seeing her like this. He is in fear how she will really cry when she understands reality for what it is. He talks about her being a worrier at such an early age. Her crying is also a reflection of the motions household members are feeding (people who grew up worrying because of their fear about growing up in a world full of hatred and prejudice).
How it ain't true her brother is jobless because of his Dinn Outlandish – Eyes Never Dry

Her day seems to be getting worse. She has missed the bus and she knows she will be getting in trouble today at work for being late. This signifies how one bad decision is impacting her whole day. One negative act has the potential to affect another one in the same negative manner.
This also emphasizes how feeling negative influences the decisions made throughout the day and throughout life. Pessimists will always struggle to live each day as they find nothing but displeasure in everything.
I wouldn’t equate living with depression or mental illness to pessimism. A lot of people can be optimists but still experience strong emotions so it can be hard for them to find joy. Labeling her as a pessimist feels wrong
