it's like i dressed up in my mama's clothing
it's like i'm talking to a voice that doesn't exist
it's like i got a wire crossed upstairs
but all i want is just a little truth
and that's it
they say i'm mental but i'm just confused
they say i'm mental but i've been abused
they say i'm mental 'cause i'm not amused by it all
another anchorman is on the t.v.
he's got that far away and vacant look in his eye
i turn the channel but nothing is changing
the only truth is that everything is a lie
they say i'm mental but i'm just confused
they say i'm mental but i've been abused
they say i'm mental 'cause i'm not amused by it all
there's truth in everything
there's truth in lies
with all this knowledge i think i'm gonna be wise
they say i'm mental but i'm just confused
they say i'm mental but i've been abused
they say i'm mental 'cause i'm not amused by it all
not at all

Reminds of way back when I was really depressed and very cynical. When you reach the state of mind where everything seems to be a lie and you're simply not "amused by it all". Then again it might be because that's when I first heard the song. shrug
its about not knowing the truths of life and being deprived of these meanings. he is being really sarcastic and ironic when he says 'with all this knowledge i think im gonna be wise'
@lemon_head Quite the opposite. It's about only caring about real stuff but the whole world thinks you're crazy because you don't buy in to their bullshit.

again, I love this song, it's quite easy to realate to aswell...
the voice of the singer is so impressive, the lyrics do their job aswell. im loving this song. its like its so dark but listening to it makes you warm :p
i love this song, probably cuz its relates a lot to the last year of my life. i felt like everything was changing, and i was going through a lot. everyone thought i was going crazy cuz i didnt tell them wut was going on. awesome song!
I love this song. Eels is what he writes: bitter and sarcastic, yet so intelligent.
