Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go
I want to be sedated
Nothing to do
Nowhere to go
I want to be sedated
Just get me to the airport
And put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
I can't control my fingers
I can't control my brain
No no oh-oh oh-oh
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go
I want to be sedated
Nothing to do
Nowhere to go
I want to be sedated
Just put me in a wheelchair
And put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
I can't control my fingers
I can't control my brain
No no oh-oh oh-oh
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go
I want to be sedated
Nothing to do
Nowhere to go
I want to be sedated
Just put me in a wheelchair
And get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry before I go loco
I can't control my fingers
I can't control my toes
No no oh-oh oh-oh

Bam bam ba-bam
Ba bam bam ba-bam
I want to be sedated

I want to be sedated
Nothing to do
Nowhere to go
I want to be sedated
Just get me to the airport
And put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
I can't control my fingers
I can't control my brain
No no oh-oh oh-oh
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go
I want to be sedated
Nothing to do
Nowhere to go
I want to be sedated
Just put me in a wheelchair
And put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
I can't control my fingers
I can't control my brain
No no oh-oh oh-oh
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go
I want to be sedated
Nothing to do
Nowhere to go
I want to be sedated
Just put me in a wheelchair
And get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry before I go loco
I can't control my fingers
I can't control my toes
No no oh-oh oh-oh

i love the original song and i love the offspring but the thing that makes covers fun is when the bands make the song their own. for example when johnny cash performed NIN's hurt he slowed the song down and made his own way which kiked ass. The offspring are too good and too talented to pass of the smae song again!
