| Tweaker – Ruby Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
From tweaker.net: "Since I'm the type of person who enjoys full albums (records that take me on a journey, teach me, have something special to say), I've tried to capture this with both tweaker records. Where the first album dealt with one concept (one man's journey through life to find contentment), 2 a.m. wakeup call is more of a concept within a concept. It's a nighttime record about dreams, nightmares, and insomnia -- things that keep us up at night. My wife was suffering a long bout of insomnia, where she would bolt awake every night, strangely, at exactly the same time Ð 2 a.m.. It led to me sharing her insomnia night after night and I wound up staying up with her and discovered that when the world-at-large was fast asleep I had unearthed a wealth of creative energy in myself. These were the hours when most of the work on 2 a.m. wakeup call occurred. When collaborating with the guest singers, I explained what my inspiration was and only gave them the directive "What keeps you up at night? And what do you dream about?" What you hear lyrically on the album is how each singer interpreted the music and direction. " I figure that these lyrics are the nighttime ramblings of someone trying desperately to get to sleep. Just crazy thoughts jumbled together when your mind is so foggy but still keeping you awake. |

| Johnette Napolitano – Suicide Note Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song is heartbreaking. The speaker in the lyrics is guilt-ridden. She has watched this man suffer through depression, but did not stop him. In the end, after his suicide, her questions are left unanswered. | |
