Everybody, soul and body cold
All this sickness, you lost control
You can't get it
You just don't get it, no
You can't get it
You got zero

Look within me, am I evil though
Memories bring tears of years old
You can't get it
You just don't get it, no
You can't get it
You got zero

Life, you take it
Lies, you fake it
Suffer, within me
Torn, you you break it
Life, Control it
Lies, withhold it
Suffer, you're skinny
Torn, you're wasted

Kids with defects
We're all rejects, so
Don't forget it, cold inside
You can't get it
You just don't get it, no
You can't get it
You got zero

Break this take control
Take this I control it
Break this take control
Take this I control it

    Hey, I think the lyrics are right as posted, I think he does say "within me." Oh and about the song, heres a weird thought that occurred to me one day. It might be about a person with a deadly disease (cancer seems most fitting) since he refers to sickness, defects, being skinny and wasted and how something takes the life out of you: Life - you take it: self explanatory Lies - you fake it: the doctors/family trying to mitigate the seriousness of your condition to comfort you Suffer - within me: the suffering cancer causes and how it stems from inside the patient and normally not an outside cause (except lung cancer and mesothelioma which are usually caused by smoking and asbestos exposure) Torn - you break it: refers to how cancer treatment basically "tears" you apart in order to "break it" and beat the disease Life - control it: for your life to resume, you must control the cancer Lies - withhold it: "give it to me straight doc" Suffer - you're skinny; Torn - you're wasted: self explanatory, you suffer, youre skinny and wasted from treatment etc... Well im rambling (mainly because this song is awesome and i love to analyze it) but the lyrics in this song seem to support my theory so im only going to interpret the chorus. Disclaimer: this is a very unconventional way of interpreting this song and i must add i posted this theory just to get the readers to think outside the box for shits and giggles, I personally think this is one of those songs that's open to interpretation from the listener. But for the record my theory is pretty well-supported, is it not. Awesome tune, one of Static-X's best, even though I LOVE all their music and this band is probably my favorite metal/evil disco group.

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”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
