I know the feeling, exactly. (It shouldn't need any explaining.) |

I have to agree with you schoofchen; the video's pretty awesome, it's great. It works well with the lyrics too, and watching it helps get the drift of the song. On the literal level, I'd say the song's about a summer holiday which you're unable to enjoy, and makes you feel pretty sad, realising just how lonely you are. On a deeper level, it feels to me like being detached from a purposeless life, detached just like you were on holiday. You're lonely, you feel empty, you feel there's no end to it all, you just don't care anymore, you never had any real goals anyway. "Deadweight" is a reference to being effectively a non-functioning and useless part of society. My guess anyway. One way or another, it's a song about despair in life, not in an emo nor angsty way, but in a hopeless laid-back way instead. Also; this song's chorus has to be one of my favourite one-liner choruses. I think it's a really nice song. |
