A walk like a burned out porn star
With aching feet for a car
My buddy had a baby with a girl named star
Makes me appreciate how the little things are

But crossing a road isn't easily told
To a young has-been centerfold
Labelled a winner's episode

Yeah, I'm really clean if you know what I mean
Except for this recurring dream
Of losing total feeling
While the windmill's squealing
The windmill's squealing

I paint to kill the dead saints
I paint to make it clear
My colors run in blue and gray
But they give hope to someone dear

Yeah, yeah, yeah, 2AM lovesick
With a walking pneumonia drumkick
And this candle does't have a wick
But I'm really not that scared
No, I'm not that scared

A walk like a burned out porn star
With aching feet for a car
My buddy had a baby with a girl named star
Makes me appreciate how the little things are

    i can't believe no one has commented this.

    BLUE OCTOBER IS THE BEST. this song is kind of difficult to interpret. it's going in so many different directions.

    My colors run in blue and gray But they give hope to someone dear

    my theory for that is that people expect things in black and white, but it can't always be that way, and sometimes it's better to see things in shades of gray.

    its very relatable to any situation but i think its basically about someone who feels empty inside.

    I love the line "A walk like a burned out porn star" and I'm not quite sure why.

    alright peeps. I'm a huge Blue October fan, as well as a huge lyrical kinda gal, and this song holds great meaning to me in my heart.

    The first lines are refering to his walk...obviously...like a burnt out porn star...kinda dragging yourself along. "But crossing the road isn't easily told To a young has-been centerfold" again refers to the initial reference to porn star. It's not easy to go to the other side, when you've been in the pit of something for so long. "labels the winner's episode" means when this person is seen to be able to have a chance at something, even though they may not think so. "Yeah, I'm really clean, if you know what I mean Except for this reoccuring dream Of losing total feeling While the windmill's squealing" Clean, refering to drugs of course, but has a reoccuring thought about losing emotions and becoming numb. And the windmill I think can refer to the world keeping spinning while this is happening-or the sequeling symbolizing something wrong with the windmill (him.) Now my fav part : "I paint to kill the dead saints I paint to make it clear My colors run in blue and grey But they give hope to someone dear." Justin often refers to his music as being a beautiful painting; an art that helps ease his pain. "Painting" to "kill the dead saints" refers to writing about the things that have added to his seed of depression....the colours of blue and grey refer to this dark, sad world he was once it, but the fact that he is writing to help cleanse his soul, gives hope to those who care for his recovery. A "walking pneumonia drum kick" can be reference to his "sickness," helped by music. Candle not having a wick, this never ends. I'm not that scared...adds a positive outlook towards the end.

    A song that truly makes me happy when I'm down. Brilliant writer and man Justin is :)

    Song Meaning

    DISCLAIMER I have just obtained a copy of Justin Furstenfeld's book Crazy Making. It's not very detailed, but it contains all the lyrics to all current (The Answers - Approaching Normal) Blue October songs, and his inspiration behind them. As I said, it's not very detailed, but it's his words on every Blue October song that is in the book. I know everyone interprets a song differently from everyone else, but having the original intent behind the song will be helpful to people who don't fully understand a song. Also, any grammatical errors are not made by me, I'm putting down Justin's words exactly how he writes them. So yea... enjoy :)

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Punchline
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.
