Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Everyone keeps asking me how come I'm such a fucking cynic. Staring at the rubble of another bombed abortion clinic. Make more cuts in the welfare system close a school to build a prison. Better keep the blinders on it helps you to maintain the vision..
Change your fucking channel man. It's more control than I can stand.
Everyone keeps asking me why I can't be more optimistic, every time I step outside it makes me want to go ballistic. Aids smack and segregation take their toll on the population. Yeah for sure they've got the cure turn on the news for information.
Change your fucking channel man. It's more control than I can stand.
Now my friends keep asking me just when did I get so complacent. Cathode signs behind my eyes just advertise my space as vacant. Wish that I could turn it off take a nap or read a book. But every time I close my eyes the dying cries say,
"What the fuck?!"
Change your fucking channel man. It's more control than I can stand.
Change your fucking channel man. It's more control than I can stand.
Everyone keeps asking me why I can't be more optimistic, every time I step outside it makes me want to go ballistic. Aids smack and segregation take their toll on the population. Yeah for sure they've got the cure turn on the news for information.
Change your fucking channel man. It's more control than I can stand.
Now my friends keep asking me just when did I get so complacent. Cathode signs behind my eyes just advertise my space as vacant. Wish that I could turn it off take a nap or read a book. But every time I close my eyes the dying cries say,
"What the fuck?!"
Change your fucking channel man. It's more control than I can stand.
