Matt Nathanson – Then I'll Be Smiling Lyrics 19 years ago
Good Song...better meaning...at least in my eyes..To me this song is about a boy who thinks his friends are too deep in their ignorance yet dont care and dont do anything about it
"They burrowed deeper into the ignorant
Little lives they preferred"
But then this kids like once i get to a better point in life where i know more...thats when ill be smiling because this is all too frustrating right now
Then i take..
"Once I shed the whole of me"
as him almost evolving like when a caterpillar does from their cacoon into a butterfly and better being so to speak
Then..
"They litter me with small awareness'
Then they ask if I'm good enough"
As him saying that " his friends half full of half concerns" try and lace him with the same things but he doesnt follow it and they dont get why he wants something more out of life
"They litter me with small awareness'
Just to wake me up
Why do the fools wake me up?"
I think of this as them trying to distract him away from his dream of being a better person so why are these fools trying to wake him up from it and prevent such a positive dream.....
