Motion City Soundtrack – Attractive Today

"Attractive Today" as written by and Joshua Allen Cain Justin Pierre Courtney....
I am wrecked. I am overblown.
I am also fed up with the common cold.
But I just need to say goodbye
To all the metaphors and lies
That have taken me years to come up with.

Say it's true. Say you like me.
(I like you.)
Just for the night, for me, it's been eternity..

And as I gently sip this drink,
I think about my lack of future,
And of all the places I could learn to fall in love.

I know I shouldn't waste my time,
I should have been better designed,
Therefore, some things still break.

I am wrecked. I am overblown.
I am also fed up with the fucking common cold!
When I just want to feel alive for the first time in my life,
I just want to feel attractive today.

    General CommentI love how after the "say it's true, say you like me" part, you can hear a little "I like you" in the background, it's...for a lack of a better few words...really cute.

    General Commentthe song sounds like he's saying how much he went through during the process of recording this album and that he wants us to like it.

    General Commenti think it goes further than just wanting people to like his record. it's about having felt insecure for a really long time and waking up one day and wanting to like yourself. he doesn't care if people don't like him, it's only important if he feels attractive.

    General Commenti'll just echo you guys - the 'i like you' bit is awesome.
    i agree with this being a song about insecurity, and thinking that if only i was attractive i could be happy and everything else will follow from that.
