Directions Lyrics
Don't like the direction you are going to
Seems to lack the attention, that it used to
Stay out all night and get high with your friends
Wonder why you don't get one thing done
Don't like the direction you are going to
Don't like the direction you have come to
Now it has the attention that it used to
Stay home all night with the TV and wife
Comfortable life's not all it's cracked up to be
Don't like the direction you have come to
It's easy to get caught and the weight of the world
It's falling on your face, so unsure that you would
the first part of the song is about growing up and out of an adolescent, immature phase, just to feel like you need to grow out of another phase, adult life, which didn't feel at all like he expected. i think it's about trying to balance out a life of fun and immaturity with the expectations that come with being an adult, instead of subscribing to one of the two extremes.
Straight forward message in this song. If you don't like the direction you are going to then change it. But the simple message hilights the problem of not knowing what you want in life. The first verse is about the unhappiness of living life from one drunken or high night to the next, and wanting some a steady life. In the second verse the steady life is found but there is a longing for the simple days of old. Sometimes the life you think you want isn't what you thought it would be.
good song from the vanilla sky soundtrack....
"Sometimes the life you think you want isn't what you thought it would be." Well put tubesocks. Simple but to the point. Never been quite able to decipher if he's atlking about himself in third person or someone knows.

great song from the movie...looking at the meaning of the song it applys to the story of the movie, but if you dont see that life isnt movin in a positive direction..change it. Great song....
Yes. Definitely fits vanilla sky very well. It's about someone who would rather mess around, and put the future off till tomorrow, and get high and settle for an ordinary life, but deep down he knows he's letting go of his dreams and doesn't like what's happening to him, but can't change his ways.
