Why Can't You Be Nicer To Me? Lyrics
somebody's screaming
looking at the ceiling
everything's so funny
i don't have any money
people don't even know me
but they know how to show me
why can't you be nicer to me?
my pride is dying
i think i'm all done lying
nobody's sharing
so i stop caring
all alone and walking
nobody's talking
why can't you be nicer to me?
well the wind is blowing
where am i going
off a bridge and falling
nobody's calling
on the ground and laying
nobody's praying
why can't you be nicer to me?
looking at the ceiling
everything's so funny
i don't have any money
people don't even know me
but they know how to show me
i think i'm all done lying
nobody's sharing
so i stop caring
all alone and walking
nobody's talking
where am i going
off a bridge and falling
nobody's calling
on the ground and laying
nobody's praying

I hate the Zeppelin comparisons. They are their own band, buzz off.
whats the deal with 3 of the same post's. we get the idea the first time
led zepplin, my arse...
if you heard any led zep song, you'd realize that this sounds nothing like them. Anyway, this song is about suicide, i think
"off a bridge and falling nobody's calling on the ground and laying nobody's praying"
these lines explain that
christ people, it's not about being nicer to your fellow man. "people don't even know me, but they know how to show me" isn't empathy; it's bitter and dejected. He's lonely and wants to die, and wants everyone to know he's unhappy. It's probably about a girl.
i like this song a lot. the rhyming is very nice
ne way, the song means : plz be nicer to him, and people arnt nice
not about suicide
well the wind is blowing
where am i going
I thought it was about suicide as well. its pretty bouncy melody-wise, but there's something really dark about it
i never realized it but yea. people don't even know me but they know how to show me
no one understands him
all alone and walking nobody's talking
well the wind is blowing where am i going
he's running away
off a bridge and falling nobody's calling on the ground and laying nobody's praying
so he jumps off a bridge and still no one cares about him
the last verse is the only suicidal one, and I think the line "well the wind is blowing, where am I going?" refers to the lifelong question about whether you go to hell or heaven when you commit suicide.
