Saturday as Usual

Yeah people, Conor is a lyrical genius. I think he's totally capable of writing this at 13. But I wouldn't be surprised if he wrote it as a kind of reflection of being 13.

The meaning of this song is pretty obvious. Growing up sucks, especially when you can't find any comfort because the people you look up to hate their lives. It doesn't take much looking into to realize how pointless life can be.

And hankmay4, I don't understand how "..drawing in my notebook. Because my hand thinks I'm an artist but my heart knows I'm a poet." can make you want to gag. It's like he wants to make [draw] something beautiful because everything around him is ugly. And because words mean so little to him, his music/poems don't seem beautiful. I actually really like that line.

I can't make out the lines: "I can't seem to deal with total trust There is something very wrong with me "

It seems more like: "I can't seem to deal. There's something wrong with everyone. Something, something." I'm not positive, though.

"and me I'm in my bedroom drawing in my notebook because my hand thinks I'm an artist but my heart knows I'm a poet It's just words they mean so little to me i can't seem to deal with total trust there is something very wrong with me"

All I have to say is wow. That verse is absolutely amazing. Connor's lyrics can really touch a person.

wow. this song is amazingly beautiful.

what a beautifully sad song. it's the first bright eyes song i heard, and i'm now in love. what an amazing artist.

"....and me i'm in the bathroom crying out my eyelids because it's hard to Be a man when you are scared like a little kid the world has become a little too mean and i can't see the point of patient love when everyone just wants to get fucked."

That part makes me wanna cry.. I'm not a guy, but the thought that all those stereotypical remarks ppl make about guys and un-true love and sex can just go away from my head reading these lyrics makes me wanna love this man.

jesus christ im so sick of it. not like specifically on this song, but i noticed on a lot of the bright eyes theres always someone using the word amazing. what the fuck i dont get it this is supposed to be what you think the song means i dont understand why you tell me that "conor is amazing" or whatever.. werd.

maybe the song to them means something amazing. and you can't help it to say conor is amazing.. he writes more real than anything else that exists

what cd is this song on? i want to get it because this is an AMAZING song.

and this song is about loneliness and growing up and fearing what u will become. its about a distance family thats misriable and trying to cope with that

the first bright eyes song i heard;; a long long time ago. many months later, i'm still hooked. i actually used parts of this song in an art project i did pertaining to the horrific era of growing up, and realizing what the world is really like. quite depressing, really.

"and i can't see the point of patient love when everyone just wants to get fucked"

This is my motto on life.
