Note To Self Lyrics
No-fly list. No-drive list. No-walk list. No-talk list. No muckraking journalist left to take stock of the wholesale omission of outside perspectives. How does it make you feel to know that you voted for this? So much for your hopes and your dreams and your children. You just sat there believing in this bullshit system. Just wishing the mob would magically come to its senses. How does it make you feel to know you just stood by and watched it? Dazed. Numb. Powerless. Stunned. While we frantically click our heels, already home. The bands. The sports. The booze. It's all that's left of you. When the cops and the courts refuse To confess the sins of the few, What is there left to do? The answer's there right before your eyes: rise.
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
Todd Kowalski: This song is written by Chris [and] is about your own laziness and personal conformity and a yearning to rise out of a preoccupation with yourself. You’re watching TV or sports or, in my case it’d be excessive [time spent] listening to Razor. It’s about trying to get out and do something to make the world better rather than marinating in your juices at home. So many people spend too much time getting wasted and doing things that aren’t really helping anybody. They’re not creative, they’re not doing anything for themselves or anybody else. It’s just a note to self to go and do something.

"So much for your HOPES and your dreams and your children". This is in reference to the Obama presidency. So is this, "How does it make you feel to know that you voted for this"?
