The Day I Lost My Voice (The Suitcase Song)

For a moment I was one man and the world made sense For a moment in this storm made of consequence

this part is supposed to be:

For a moment I was warm and the world made sense For a moment this storm had no consequence

I think.

I'm not sure if anybody even comes here anymore, but I really feel like this song is about depression.

When you're depressed you tend to (or at least I tend to) feel like running away and leaving everything behind. In the beginning of the song he describes how strange and distant he feels as compared to the rest of the world ("that I was superimposed somehow in this life"). And this loneliness makes him wish his friends would call him to remind him of his existence in reality.

And when he says he has "no time", it's because he's too busy comtemplating running away from reality. And when he says "what could be an anchor here with a storm on the rise" he's desperately searching for something to hold on to while his depression takes over, something to keep him from running away for real.

It's

It's sure as the floor 'neath my toes And somehow not surprised That I was superimposed, somehow in this life And if my friends and my foes would just drop me a line, it'd be nice.

And then: I've got my life in a suitcase, I'm ready to run, run, run away.. I've got no time, 'cause I'm always trying to run, run, run away 'Cause everyday in here feels like it's only a game. I've got my life in a suitcase, a suitcase, a suitcase...

Then: What could be an anchor here, with a storm on the rise, When you never meant to see so clear, when smoke gets in your eyes And the men in the moon never makes his replies Understood

I love this song. :] It's one of my favorites on the new album!

it's so sad =( but i do love it

To me, this song is about being lost. You are too busy worrying about trying to be found that you can't even stop and find yourself. All you have is your suitcase, a container that houses your memories of a time when things made sense and you could sit down and breathe.

I like this song. I'd like it a little more if it wasn't that girl's vocals briefly in the song...

Great song.

This is definitely one of my favorite songs off of You Are My Sunshine.

I agree with le_savant, I think it's about being lost.

Whos the girl singing in this? I loveeeeee this

her name's Rae Cassidy
