Lazarus Lyrics

	


I, I must be losing my mind
I keep on trying to find a way out
but there's no need you don't lock the door anymore

And I, you know I never go out
and you know I start to forget things
it's ok they weren't essential anyway

And I, when I start to think back
I feel like I've spent my whole life 
just kicking around and not getting in the way

And now, maybe now I should change
because I'm starting to lose all my faith
while those around are beaten down each day

This is a great song, I'm not really sure what the first two stanzas mean, but the last two are a rallying cry against indifference, a truly beautiful song

Martin Carr said: "We moved into a flat in Muswell Hill with Tim and his girlfriend and spent nights smoking Nepalese Temple Balls and playing ‘Road Rash’. I wrote the lyrics there; I was trying to make sense of my life, I had decided that I was not going to shroud the lyrics in metaphors that only I understood anymore. I think Charles Bukowski may have been a big influence here."

I think this song is about a person who lived a meaningless life that didn't have any effect on anyone or anything. I think the main character in the song decides to live a meaningful life
