Heart Attack

Sum 41

Remember when there was nothing else to do
But lie in bed and
Wonder how it was always up to you
And no one else and
Early mornings, made by warnings
What's the point of the alarm that I'm ignoring?
It's even raining, I'm not complaining
But waking up is hard to do, so

Turn my head, it's back to bed with no delay
Can't be bothered by the phone ten times today
Why get up? My morning doesn't even start 'til two
Forget reality, waking up is hard to do

Remember when we would hang out every day?
And we would rather
Not be told what to do or what to say
'Cause nothing mattered

Never boring, slept in mornings
Not ashamed of the habits that I'm forming
It's not important if days are shortened
I can't make time when nothing's new
'Cause waking up is hard to do, so

Turn my head, it's back to bed with no delay
Can't be bothered by the phone ten times today
Why get up? My morning doesn't even start 'til two
Forget reality, waking up is hard to do

What's a day when it all ends up the same
And lasts forever
Can't complain when there's nothing there to blame
And things can't be better
Summer evenings, teenage grieving's
Got no problem with the life that I've been leading
No concentration on hesitation
I can't make time when nothing's new
'Cause waking up is hard to do, so

Turn my head, it's back to bed with no delay
Can't be bothered by the phone ten times today
Why get up? My morning doesn't even start 'til two
Forget reality, waking up is hard to do

    Mine too! This song's about laziness and depression too. Just wanting to sleep all day, and everything is fucked and pointless. Day after day... But nothing is really wrong, not that you can put your finger on, so there's nothing to blame. Nothing to do, nothing to see... There's no reason to worry about shortening the day, you're not missing a thing. Don't talk to me about bad habbits, I'm not ashamed. I will sleep all day, I don't want to answer the phone. Reminscing, remembering when you used to actually do things, you and your friends, and you weren't bored... and now you just hate everything and just want to sleep lfie away... Ahh this song is sooo good.

    As soon as I heard this song, I was addicted to Sum 41. This (and Handle This) is by far my fav song. So when i was at the Sum 41 concert on April 15, I was sooo stoked when they played it. Anyway, back to what I think it means...I think it's just about growing up, not having to go to school or have any worries about anything. If anything bothers you (like that something where theres nothing to blame) then you can sleep it away, because you have nothing else to waste your time on...I dunno but this song rocks.

    What’s a day when it all ends up the same, and lasts forever? Can’t complain when there’s nothing there to blame, and things can’t be better. those lines describe exactly how i used to be.. and still sorta am.. i was so depressed but there was no reason for it, i tryed making excuses, to be depressed. i love Sum 41's songs because theyre all about things that regular people go through.. i know, i can sure relate to their songs.

    Like technicalitea, I used to be like this, and still am sometimes. This is why people love Sum 41. :) Not very often I find music I can relate to.

Alma Matters
Morrissey
The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support. "Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
