| Cake – Cool Blue Reason Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| 8 hours could also relate to the average "healthy" regimen of sleep. (used to be 8-10, i think they're saying 7-9 now, whatever.) maybe it's just a song about the random crap that runs through your head while you're lying bed awake at night. | |

Hrm. Nobody's posted on this? Guess i'll take a stab... On the one hand, it seems as though the speaker is torn between multiple -- probably conflicting -- obligations. ("I don't know if i'm supposed to stay / Or i'm supposed to leave.") Idunno, maybe he wants to join a rock band and tour the world, but he still feels he has obligations at home that need to be met. On the other hand, he realizes the ultimate futility of his decision. ("...it don't matter anyway / 'Cause i know it's just a spell.") So no matter what he does, he feels it isn't going to make much of a difference or an impact on the world around him. And it's that quiet ambition -- that desire to change the world or to at least make his name known -- that ultimately drives him to go out in a literal "blaze of glory" in the final verse. Either way, it's a fun little song. Takes me back to high school every time i hear it. =) |

I have to agree with RedSolemnBlade about the emotion being lost in the translation. The repetition of the phrase, "I've lost my mind, I've lost my mind / I need her, I need her" is so much more powerful than just repeating, "All the things she said [are] running through my head." And that helped no one, but i had to throw in my two cents. |
