You never listen to me
You cannot look me in the eyes
And i have struggled to see
Why it's so easy to push me aside
I no longer believe
That you were ever on my side
How could you know what i need
When I'm the last thing on your mind

Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you

So disconnected
Don't feel the motions again
So disconnected
Everything goes over your head
So disconnected
You got me hanging by a thread
So disconnected
When will this cycle end

You don't really know me
I don't think you've ever even tried
Put on the same routine
And so you never have the time
What do you want me to be
Don't you want me in your life
I feel so incomplete
You left me too far behind

Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you

So disconnected
Don't feel the motions again
So disconnected
Everything goes over your head
So disconnected
You got me hanging by a thread
So disconnected
When will this cycle end

It's to hard to just move on
It's easier said than done
It's too hard to just move on
It's easier said than done
It's too hard to just move on
It's easier said than done

Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch, to touch you

So disconnected
Don't feel the motions again
So disconnected
Everything goes over your head
So disconnected
You got me hanging by a thread
So disconnected
When will this cycle end

So disconnected
Don't feel the motions again
So disconnected
When will this cycle end
(so disconnected, so disconnected)
When will this cycle end

    These two sections of lyrics pretty much explain what my relationship is like with my ex...

    "You never listen to me, you cannot look me in the eyes and I have struggled to see, why it’s so easy to push me aside I no longer believe that you were ever on my side, how could you know what I need? When I am the last thing on your mind"

    The two main parts are "so easy to push me aside" and "the last thing on your mind". She says that I mean a lot and I'm her best friend, but never really shows me or makes me feel that I am what she says. I get pushed away by her for other things and sometimes I feel like she doesn’t think of me at all.

    "You don't really know me I don't think you ever even tried, we're on the same routine and still you never have the time. Who do you want me to be? And do you want me in your life? I feel so incomplete, you left me too far behind"

    The key part in this section is "do you want me in your life", It doesn’t feel that she want me in her life basically.

    I think on the fourth "so disconnected...." it is "So disconnected, when will the cycle end"

    God who typed these lyrics? Comon ppl, take some time to neat and actually put the right lyrics... Anyways, this is the song that made Trapt my favorite band. Its not my fav anymore, but this is the one that got me. Its so awesome. I think its about, not neccisarily a romantic relationship, but with any1. Some1 wasnt listening to him. Its about someone being discconected with reality. Its someone arguing with him and not listening to a word he has to say. Thats my two cents neways.

    Correct lyrics: You never listen to me, You cannot look me in the eyes and I have struggled to see, why its so easy to push me aside I no longer believe that you were ever on my side How could you know what I need? When I am the last thing on your mind

    (Chorus) Too out of touch out of touch to touch you Too out of touch out of touch to touch you Too out of touch out of touch to touch you Too out of touch out of touch to touch you So disconnected, go through the motions again So disconnected, everything goes over your head So disconnected, You got me hanging by a thread So disconnected, When will this cycle end?

    You don't really know me I don't think you ever even tried We're on the same routine and still you never have the time Who do you want me to be? and do you want me in your life? I feel so incomplete, you left me too far behind

    (Chorus) Too out of touch out of touch to touch you Too out of touch out of touch to touch you Too out of touch out of touch to touch you Too out of touch out of touch to touch you So disconnected, go through the motions again So disconnected, everything goes over your head So disconnected, You got me hanging by a thread So disconnected, When will this cycle end?

    It's too hard to just move on It's easier said then done (x3)

    (Chorus) Too out of touch out of touch to touch you Too out of touch out of touch to touch you Too out of touch out of touch to touch you Too out of touch out of touch to touch you So disconnected, go through the motions again So disconnected, everything goes over your head So disconnected, You got me hanging by a thread So disconnected, When will this cycle end?

    I rather think this song is about a relationship or a friendship in which one of the partners turned away but never really left the other. So the relation turned to a kind of loveless routine ("We're on the same routine and still you never have the time") because no-one of the two wants to be the one to end the relation/friendship. ("When will this cycle end?") But by living this kind of not-realtin (or however you like to call it) the lyrical I gets quite bitter and begins to doubt if there was ever a real relationship between the two.

    I feel you nike or and1. This chick I thought was really interested in me. Tries to tell me She loves me, she wants me, she wants things back to the way they were before. And I'm sitting her trying to explain to her while she's dating some other guy. That I love her more than anything and what not. And she tells me she's sorry and what not. Yet she won't prove shit to me. She keeps running back to him and he's probably cheating on her as well. And I feel I'm the last thing on her mind anymore. She never listens to me on anything. Tried helping her fix her goddamn problems all the time. Ugh.

    Anyways this is what I think it means. It's the same shit I'm going through with my so called ex/fling?

    You never listen to me, You cannot look me in the eyes and I have struggled to see, why its so easy to push me aside I no longer believe that you were ever on my side How could you know what I need? When I am the last thing on your mind

    I try telling her how much I love her and what not. And she can't even see me, she has her eyes in some other direction it feels. I can't understand why she keeps pushing me aside when I keep getting back up to prove to her over and over again. I cannot feel that I can believe anymore or anything about how she feels because she won't even prove shit to me. And she won't ever even bother to be with me like she so called proclaims to. Then she's like you should be with someone lse and chasing someone else. How can she understand what I want when she can't even think of how what I want or how I feel about her. When I'm right there in front of me.

    So disconnected, go through the motions again So disconnected, everything goes over your head So disconnected, You got me hanging by a thread So disconnected, When will this cycle end?

    I'm always going through maybe she will finally but she never does. She tells me she does then changes her mind and goes back to him every time and it causes me to smoke cigs again when I'm trying to quit. It's so goddamn stressful. She acts like she does but she doesn't do nothing. And I'm always at the short end of things. I don't know what to do anymore with her. Wondering when will she quit playing these fucking head games and start proving instead of talking it.

    You don't really know me I don't think you ever even tried We're on the same routine and still you never have the time Who do you want me to be? and do you want me in your life? I feel so incomplete, you left me too far behind

    She doesn't even seem to really know me at all. Cause if she did she would see everything I'm saying and proving to her. She told me a few months ago that she was in love with some other guy and her ex still. Broke my trust because I thought I was the only person she loved. Talked about wanting to gain my trust to be a good girlfriend to me everytime I asked and yet when some other dude ask she says yes. And told me the reason was because didn't hear me ask her or some bullshit like that. She wants me in her life but doesn't. And I'm sitting here wondering if she really wants me in her life or is she just using me for the gain. I feel incomplete because she's broken my black broken heart over and over because she leds me on. And by dating that other douche bag. I feel left behind.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
