Petroleum Distillation

Fifteen

I've been having a hard time trying to justify
The clouds arising from the cars we drive
And a little too easy seems just a little too hard today
And I'm afraid my children are going to have to watch
the world
waste away
Been having a hard time trying to accept the fact
That paying money for four walls leaves the slavery
intact
And a little too easy seems just a little too hard today
And I'm afraid my children are going to have to watch
the world
slip away
I know, I know, I know, life has become slavery
Costs two dollars a minute and additional charges to
pray to god
today
See I've been looking for some guidance but the voice
on the phone
ain't got a damn thing to say
And a little too easy seems just a little too hard today
And I'm afraid my children are going to have to watch
the world
fade away
I was born a little too late to see the dream that they
called America
See I only want to be a Free man but it's against the law
to sleep on
the ground in Gods land
And a little too easy seems just a little bit insane
And I'm afraid I'm going to have to run for my life one of
these days
I know, I know, I know, life has become slavery
The ground is my body, it's been poisoned with lead and
junk food
and toxic waste
The sky is my mind it's been clouded with cigarettes and
fluorocarbons and petroleum distillates
The water's my heart, it's been broken with booze and
drugs and
shooting up paste
The sun is my spirit, it belongs to all of us, I guess we're
all one sick
race
And autonomy shall reward itself with freedom
And humility shall reward itself with peace
And the dissolution of possession and the integration of
humanity
Shall bring forth a sharing of our responsibility
For our lives and our earth

Trouble Breathing
Alkaline Trio
While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.

Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following: "We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..." With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."

Me and Johnny
Matt Paxton
Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
