School Of Fish – Three Strange Days Lyrics 5 years ago
"For three strange days
I had no obligations
My mind was a blur
I did not know what to do
I think I lost myself
When I lost my motivation
Now I'm walking 'round the city
Just waiting to come to"

Depression, probably from a major situation that would trigger a situation where you wouldn't care anymore.

"For three strange...
For three strange days
I couldn't put a smile on my face
So they dressed me up in all of their clothes
And took me somewhere else"

Friends who are trying to help you get you out of a pit of depression, but have no clue on how to help you, so they take you someplace to party the depression away.

"Johnny Clueless was there
With his simulated wood grain
So I pulled up a chair
And started drinking by myself"

A fake well wisher who is trying to tell you to bottle up your pain, but you decide to ignore him/her and drown yourself in your sorrows.

"For three strange...
I've got to make it through
No matter what it takes
Oh I've got to make it through
These strange days"

He's probably contemplating suicide.

"I lay down for a while
And I woke up on the ocean
Floating on my back
And staring at the gray
It was completely still
Except the pounding of my heart
Bringing me back to life"

An unsuccessful suicide attempt.

"From three strange days
Three strange...
Three strange days
Three strange days"

It all happened in a period of 3 days.

Fountains of Wayne – Radiation Vibe Lyrics 8 years ago
*Are you alone now
Did you lose the monkey
He gave you backaches
And now you slouch*

Are you OK? The guy who's holding you back is no longer around. He scarred you badly.

*He didn't mean it
He's just a dumb ape
Reading Playboy
On your couch*

He wasn't malicious when he harmed you, merely ignorant. He also ignored you sexually.

*And now it's time to say
What I forgot to say
Baby baby baby
Come on, what's wrong
It's a radiation vibe I'm groovin' on
Don't it make you want to get some sun
Shine on, shine on, shine on*

You're free now! Hang out with me! Let's get happy!

(The antagonist is singing from his perspective.)


*I went to Pittsburgh
And joined a pro team
Talk about a bad dream
I broke a knee*

He's like this because his dreams were shattered. He could have been an amazing athlete playing for the Penguins/Pirates/Steelers, but he got injured badly.


*But I can still croon
And make the girls swoon
Isn't that the way life's
Supposed to be*

I still get the girls, even though I'm no longer this big shot jock. Give me another chance! There's another superficial reason we should be together. I can still sing.
