You know after listening to this song I feel it fits perfectly for a soldier deployed to a war zone. Its crazy the life experiences we have over here. Were not normal, especially after we come back from what we have seen. "It's nothing, it's so normal you You just stand there, I could say so much But I don't go there 'cause I don't want to I was thinking if you were lonely Maybe we could leave here and no one would know At least not to the point that we would think so" I interpert the first part of this as saying, that its normal to us what we see and have expirenced. but just dont wanna talk about it. It might be normal to us, but a lot of the things I have seen and done i dont ever wanna remember or have to explain to any one. The second part of this I think means that we all just wanna find someone we want to be with and run away from the stuff weve done. "And everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking about Somebody else Well, it's best if we all keep it under our heads I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling The way I do But I'm lonely now, and I don't know how To get it back to good? All of us soldiers over here are thinking of someone else, we all feel the same way, but nobody talks about it. We think about it every day but we just dont talk about it. We are lonely, how do we fix this? We simpky cant. "This don't mean that, you own me This ain't no good, in fact it's phony As hell Yeah, but things worked out just like you wanted too If you see me out, you don't know me Try to turn your head, try to give me some room To figure out just what I'm gonna do" I think this part of the song is saying you don't owe us anything. We get it we volunteered for it. We tell you everything is going great, when in fact we are just saying that to make you not worry, but its phony as hell. But realize the things we have done you will never understand. Try and accept this, because when we get done with this war we will be different, and we wont exactly know how to deal with it. So just give us some room and let us figure it out. "'Cause everyone here, hates everyone here for Doing just like They do And it's best if we all keep this quiet instead And I couldn't tell, why everyone here was Doing me like They do But I'm sorry now, and I don't know how To get it back to good Well everyone here, is wondering what it's like to be with Somebody else Everyone here's to blame, and everyone here Gets caught up in the pleasure of the pain, Everyone, well everyone here hides Shades of shame, yeah but looking inside we're the same, We're the same And we're all grown now, but we don't know how To get it back to good" Everyone over here is so far detached from reality. Its like this life is fake when we are deployed. After a while you cant even stand to be around the great friends that you have. If you see them everyday for a year you will get tired of them. Its not the person or family that you love, so you end up hating each other for no reason. As soon as you are on the way home everything goes back to "normal". "Well everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking 'bout Somebody else It's best if we all keep this under our heads See I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling The way I do But it's over now, and I don't know how, guess it's over now There's no getting back to good." You miss home and normal things more then anyone you could ever imagine. You start feeling more detached from everything that you ever knew. Around about month 8 or 9 of the deployment, it feels as if there is no going back to anything normal. Its just incomprehensible the enormity of the situations that we are put in. The stress will eventually wear you down, break you, and for a little while even make you give up all hope of anything normal. |
