Alexisonfire – Happiness By The Kilowatt Lyrics 20 years ago
to me, it seems like something horrible has happened in this guys life. i think the song sounds like the guy is in deep depression-i almost think he is in deep mourning. here is my semi-line by line analysis:

So this is continuous happiness
You know, I always
Imagined it something more

-his expectations have not been met-his life is shit basically( or at the current time because of whatever bad thing has happened) so there is dissatisfaction-number one cause of depression

With the right drapes, the right paints
The right frames, this could really work
What a great day to spend indoors

-he could be sitting in his room laying in bed (depressed) thinkin of how this could work-he could live the rest of his life feeling this horrible-just sitting in his room cause he might feel immobile to leave because his grief is so great- so perhaps the right frames,etc helps us to imagine a room and how he could settle with life not leaving his room anymore-because he doesnt want to go on

Wake, wake up, wake, wake up
-wake up out of this trance, this horrible feeling he is stuck in- he cant function he cant move- its almost as if he is sleeping-all he can do is lay there and continue to breath. he doesnt view life how he use to-now he is just going through the motions

So where has all the day gone?

-the days are just wasting/fading away (or life is)because he doesnt care-and he just doesnt understand how all that has happened has happened

And why are my lungs aching when I breathe?
Is there something wrong with the heat?
Why am I so cold?
And my heart feels sick
And it hurts when I speak
And this is not what I hoped for

-this is what makes me think that something truly shocking has happened in his life-why i think perhaps a death. he is in so much shock that he cant breath. his body is freaking out basically.

Silverstein – Discovering The Waterfront Lyrics 20 years ago
the end of a releationship that ended with disloyalty and pain. she cheated on him and messed with his mind. he gave her all he had-heart body and soul and she took it- and then disregarded it when she committed her selfish acts.so hes tired of the games tired of the drama-so he finally says taht he is done-she was his true love and he will never forget her because she holds a place so deep in his heart but he will"sail" away-(sailing representing freedom) and seas representing far distance-to break away from the entire relationship- the good and the bad. he will pull himself to gether again-even after the mess she left him in-
