My Hotel Year Lyrics
I saw the stars fall from the sky
And watched the tail lights fade away
As the sun began to witness a new day.
I drove five hundred thousand miles
To find a world unlike my own,
And now middle of nowhere seems like my home.
Alone, unknown... Yet fearing nothing but ourselves
Could be scarier than any crowded room.
I'm more alone with you than when I'm by myself.
Another night stuck on the vine,
Another low lit memory
Where time will slowly have it's way with me.
We live our lives to expect the worst
But once it happens what is left?
We will never have to be surprised again.
Just you and me not saying much of anything
Sometimes could mean more than a thousand words
Goodbye, farewell to this fucked up world that was my former self.
We never seem to have the time until we waste it
All gone, goodbye...
Think and think alike, never seemed to have the time
Until one day it's all gone, you've thrown it all away.
I'm glad you were a part of my hotel year.
And watched the tail lights fade away
As the sun began to witness a new day.
To find a world unlike my own,
And now middle of nowhere seems like my home.
Could be scarier than any crowded room.
I'm more alone with you than when I'm by myself.
Another low lit memory
Where time will slowly have it's way with me.
But once it happens what is left?
We will never have to be surprised again.
Sometimes could mean more than a thousand words
Goodbye, farewell to this fucked up world that was my former self.
All gone, goodbye...
Think and think alike, never seemed to have the time
Until one day it's all gone, you've thrown it all away.

In this song I think Kris Roe is talking about how much being on the road changes you. In this case, he was so excited to get to be going home to his girlfriend, and things aren't like he expected, they are akward and uncomfortable, and he realizes that he doesn't love her anymore. He realizes that their chance has passed. And though he might be upset, he's kinda happy that it happened.
so why say "I'm glad you were apart of my hotel year"?
well if that person was right because it's about all the people you met on the road and around... they were part of your hotel year, when you stayed in hotels in mad different places, etc.
however... the song is written in response to some book... it says it right inside the insert for the "look forward to failure" EP. I'd like to read the book cuz this is like the best song
certain parts of this song definitely go along with my life philosophy...i.e. We live our lives to expect the worst But once it happens what is left? We will never have to be surprised again.
i love this song. awesome. 2nd best ataris song in my opinion...first being i.o.u. one galaxy.
this song was inspired by 'life after god' by douglas coupland and some of the lyrics are taken right from it. it's an awesome book and it inspired the name to an amazing orlando band called <a href="http://www.myhotelyear.com">my hotel year</a>. check them out, they are great.
Great song, with great lyrics to go.
i usually dont have fave songs from fave bands, but for some reason, from teh first time i heard it, its my favorite. the way the music goes, to the lyrics, its incredible. the ataris are an awesome band, but the song is the standout. i love it so much.

Goodbye, farewell to this fucked up world that was my former self.
