Be Here Now

And every time the sun's up its a new yesterday..fuckin brilliant

these are kind of off.

I love this song.

this song is obviously about a guy that is suffering. he can't sleep, and when he does he sleepwalks, hes under pressure, he can't tell what is what, and is justifying his suicide. "It's been a good life, I'll be sad to see it go"

I think it's about contemplating suicide. Wanting it but not having enough courage to go through with it. Possibly asking some one to join in. That's just my opinion though. Great song.

I think the character in this song is severely depressed. So many things could have happened to him to get him to this state, but he's there, and he wishes he weren't. His way out is suicide. Everything in his life is blurring out, and if it were possible, he'd turn his life off for a moment to recollect. However, he knows that if he turns it off, there's no turning it back on, and he's reasoning with himself to the point of deciding.. it's worth it.

This is about a man giving up on life...the term sleepwalking isnt meant to be literal i don't think..its more of a adjective here instead of an action. He's living his life on autopilot. going through the motions..not caring about anything. He knows alot of people crowd themselves out with people and are constantly busy and trying to stay busy. Thats why he says are you afraid of turning off? He has no right or wrong because he simply doesn't care. He's a deer in headlights..not knowing wich direction to turn but not caring wich direction to go. Its a very existentialist point of view represented here but it also captures society's business What he does is a form of "sleepwalking" but are the people that are so busy and scared to turn off living life on autopilot just as much as he is?

this song makes me think.

I don't know, I kind of thought of this song as meaning that the character is pretending to be someone / something he isn't, and he feels like he lost everything and is martyring himself (I'm not an extremely religious person, but he does say "I'm on the cross") and things aren't okay, it's more like a cry for help. And as for accusing the person he's speaking to about wanting a better life or bigger home, that's what he thought he wanted but he lost himself trying to "rearrange" his life. He is scared and is trying to explain it to someone he feels like he's losing. I never really thought of it meaning suicide until really thinking about it, but I think it's more like "truth or a lie" continuing living a lie or die in truth. He's confessing something, he can't handle what's going on in his life, and he's letting someone know that. I don't think he really wants to commit, but he's struggling with tons of emotions.

At least that's my personal interpretation...

I know there was a song about a friend of the band who commited suicide when they were in highschool. This might be it...

"i'm on the cross, i'm on the cross" this song makes me feel 14 again. <a href="https://ggstreetview.com">google street view</a> maps
