This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Sometimes when I lie
I know you're on to me
Sometimes I don't mind
How hateful that I can be
Sometimes I don't try
To make you happy
I don't know why I do the things I do to you but
Sometimes I don't wanna be better
Sometimes I can't be put back together
Sometimes I find it hard to believe
There's someone else who could be
Just as messed up as me
Sometimes don't deny
That everything is wrong
Sometimes rather die
Than to admit it's my fault
Sometimes when you cry
I just don't care at all
I don't know why I do the things I do to you but
Sometimes I don't wanna be better
Sometimes I can't be put back together
Sometimes I find it hard to believe
There's someone else who could be
Just as messed up as me
I want someone to hurt
Like the way I hurt
It's sick but it makes me feel better
Sometimes I can't hide
The demons that I face
Sometimes don't deny
I'm sometimes sinner sometimes saint
Sometimes I don't wanna be better (everything is gone forever)
Sometimes I can't be put back together (sometimes its gone forever)
Sometimes I find it hard to believe
There's someone else who could be
Just as messed up as me
Just as messed up as me
I know you're on to me
Sometimes I don't mind
How hateful that I can be
Sometimes I don't try
To make you happy
I don't know why I do the things I do to you but
Sometimes I don't wanna be better
Sometimes I can't be put back together
Sometimes I find it hard to believe
There's someone else who could be
Just as messed up as me
Sometimes don't deny
That everything is wrong
Sometimes rather die
Than to admit it's my fault
Sometimes when you cry
I just don't care at all
I don't know why I do the things I do to you but
Sometimes I don't wanna be better
Sometimes I can't be put back together
Sometimes I find it hard to believe
There's someone else who could be
Just as messed up as me
I want someone to hurt
Like the way I hurt
It's sick but it makes me feel better
Sometimes I can't hide
The demons that I face
Sometimes don't deny
I'm sometimes sinner sometimes saint
Sometimes I don't wanna be better (everything is gone forever)
Sometimes I can't be put back together (sometimes its gone forever)
Sometimes I find it hard to believe
There's someone else who could be
Just as messed up as me
Just as messed up as me

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
i agree with this song a lot. sometimes i dont wanna be better...
I love Skillet.... I don't know if he meant to do it but he basically spoke the words of an addict or more appropriate a fallible human... We often feel like Paul when he said, “I don’t understand why I act the way I do. I don’t do what I know is<br /> right. I do the things I hate. Although I don’t do what I know is right, I agree that the law is good.” (Romans 7:15, 16)
Anyone with depression, this is perfect. I personally don't understand how someone else could hurt this much. This song describes everything about depression, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts just perfectly.
and i agree with musicaddict...its so true, for some reason when you are hurting you dont want it to get better. i like to hurt sometimes, i do it on purpose...
and i do alot of bad things that i dont want to stop doing, no matter how much i know i should quit...
this song really speaks to me, sometimes i stop caring about God wants and start doing what i want. which is really stupid, i don't really know why i do that.
i'm with you. so many people have told me "god wants you to do this" or "you should go to church". just let me live my life.
This couldnt be more honest.... sometime we just dont want to be better! We find it hard to stick to what we believe and do what we know its right... skillet its actually not an exclusive christian band but their songs speak about the struggle to be a christian and not feeling like a saint sometimes... "IM SOMETIMES A SINNER AND SOMETIMES A SAINT" we all know we aint perfect, we all have our good days and bad weeks hahaha to be saint doesnt mean we are going to be perfect, it means we are able to change from bad to good.. lets keep it honest and sincere to God and he will help us in our struggle
Love this song. Kind of reminds me how I went through a suicide reaction and sometimes I keep trying to hide my true feeling about how I felt with life. Sometimes I would lie about my true feelings. I don't care how I hurt others or how much I say I hate them. There are times I don't try to make others happy because I am very disagreeable what they say. Even I don't know why I do these things. If people ask why do you sometimes do these things? I keep saying "I don't know". There are times I hate people trying to make me better. There are times I don't wanna feel better. I really do find it hard to believe someone has the same problems as me. There are times when something is truly wrong with me, I will deny it and say "I'm fine." I don't care if it's my fault for what I've done to myself was wrong. When my mother cries about how I act towards her, I never cared.
I think this song is about the struggle of someone who's been told to be good all the time, and perhaps by association they're expected to be the image of purity. but sometimes,they just don't want to be. they want to live their own way even if their conscience says not to
I think this is saying Christians aren't perfect, they get mad a whole lot and they regret what they said just as much as anybody else
