I think it important that this song is at the very end of the cd. After the rest of the album plays out his grief, this song is hopeful that life can go on. It is hard to allow yourself love and happiness when you are in mourning, and this song catches the moments of him realizing that at some point you have to move on- because the whole world doesn't stop for your pain. "And maybe it's time to live" --- The final lines of the cd... No matter how much pain you are it, and how much you want it to all be over, at some point you have to decide to live- not just exist. |

This song reminds me of the four days my family and I sat at the hospital while my father was dying this August. Maybe it is about waiting while his mother died? "Feeling Scared today, Write down I am okay" --- Everyone is so terrified, but you act like you are holding up. You never admit out loud how hard it is. "A 100 times the doctors day" --- Then the line cuts out, because no matter how many times the doctors tell you that someone is dying, you never say it out loud... "Skin is crawling off" --- I remember feeling that way, like your skin could just crawl off, or you could just stop breathing and not even notice. You feel like the situation is so out of control that you can't even control your body. "sticking around for this shit another day,another day, not another day" --- Just sitting there, waiting another day... then suddenly it's not another day. You sit there in misery and wait, then it is just over. "I am trying" --- It's hard, you have to keep trying to go on, and it keeps getting harder. |
