Nothing On My Back Lyrics

	


Was happiness a fad?
Or was it in the lost in found again behind the issues.
It might not be so bad,
We’re all addicted to our tragedy,
I guess it’s what it had to be.

With nothing on my back,
It’s still enough to bring me down.
My mind’s about to crack, 
Cause what I thought could not be found.
Matter of in fact,
It’s harder still when you’re around.
With nothing on my back,
I can’t help but drown. 

I might as well belong to both of you.
And the mess you always seem to drag me through.
That night forever always haunting me.
But I guess it is what it’s supposed to be,
But spare your thoughts of sympathy.

With nothing on my back,
It’s still enough to bring me down.
My mind’s about to crack, 
Cause what I thought could not be found.
Matter of in fact,
It’s harder still when you’re around.
With nothing on my back,
I can’t help but drown. 

With nothing on my back,
It’s still enough to bring me down.
My mind’s about to crack, 
Cause what I thought could not be found.
With nothing on my back,
It’s still enough to bring me down.
My mind’s about to crack, 
Cause what I thought could not be found.
With nothing on my back,
It’s still enough to bring me down.
My mind’s about to crack, 
Cause what I thought could not be found.
With nothing on my back,
It’s still enough to bring me down.
My mind’s about to crack, 
Cause what I thought could not be found.


With nothing on my back,
It’s still enough to bring me down.
My mind’s about to crack, 
Cause what I thought could not be found.
Matter of in fact,
It’s harder still when you’re around.
With nothing on my back,
I can’t help but drown.

I like this song a lot. It describes junior high or highschool really well. Suddenly nobody is happy, and happiness just really isn't cool anymore. Everyone's addicted to their tradgedies. We've all got memories but that's the way it's supposed to be, dont' feel bad for me. There's nothing wrong. And yet still, I feel dragged down. It's about trying to deny that you feel bad, trying to be tough and knowing you're not and getting mad at yourself for it. You're lost and confused, what you thought could not be found. And everyone who's trying to help is just making it harder. You say it's not a big deal, it's nothing... but it's still enough to make you drown. So obviously it's NOT nothing.

this song is like, the anthem of every teen. Its because alot of times teens feel so bad about things, and they get depressed, but they cant really pinpoint a certain aspect or aspects of their life and say, "this is why i'm sad". because alot of it is the time period and the setting, like socalsum41fan, the pressure in school is huge, and people are changing and trying to fit in so its just a really hard time.
