Sick of Food

American Music Club

I'm sick of food
So why am I so hungry?
I was sick of you
But I don't mind seeing your little face
I was sick of love
So I just stopped feeling
But I couldn't find anything to take its place

What'll I do with my time?
I'm sick of drink
So why am I so thirsty?
I must have been born on the planet Mercury

I just called to ask you what I said last night
I just called to ask you what I did last night

So what'll I do with my time?
Now I wake up, and I don't have any gravity
Now I wake up still walking in my sleep
Now I wake up, feel the world drawing away from me
And now I wake up still walking in my sleep

I'm sick of food
So why am I so hungry?
I'm sick of feeling the world draw away from me

And now I wake up
Yeah, I remember
Feel the whole world draw away from me
Now I wake up; what good is it?
Another bright nothing
Another day

    It's about AIDS. So is Rise (also off of AMC's Everclear lp).

    Has anyone heard the Chris Walla version of it? It's not as good, but it gives a nice acoustic take on things.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
