Looks Like A Mess Lyrics
Drank it up slowly
As I looked at the only
People in the room.
“It’s ok to admit that
You have been laughed at,”
Said Mr. Deacon Blues.
Then some broken fool laughed
And hi-fived the bar back,
“I’ll have another round.”
Raised it up to the ceiling, said
“This one with feeling.
What’s the matter with this town.”
If I look like a mess. I must be a mess.
Kick snare and hi-hat,
Crushed cigarette pack,
2 is coming soon.
Kids on a wall plaque,
“AYSO Champs, Summer 1992.”
“Good hands don’t deserve this.”
“Maybe someday you’ll learn kid that
Silence is a sound.”
Raise it up to the ceiling,
“Make this one with feeling.”
We’ll drink until we drown…
Turning on and off and on.
As I looked at the only
People in the room.
“It’s ok to admit that
You have been laughed at,”
Said Mr. Deacon Blues.
And hi-fived the bar back,
“I’ll have another round.”
Raised it up to the ceiling, said
“This one with feeling.
What’s the matter with this town.”
Crushed cigarette pack,
2 is coming soon.
Kids on a wall plaque,
“AYSO Champs, Summer 1992.”
“Maybe someday you’ll learn kid that
Silence is a sound.”
Raise it up to the ceiling,
“Make this one with feeling.”
We’ll drink until we drown…

I absolutely love this band... these guys are just so damn talented. As for the meaning... I think in one way or another we all have been laughed at, let down, or whatever the circumstances may be.. we feel like a mess.. and for some of us alcohol can be a temporary fix to wash away the pain. I do think there's a much deeper meaning then the obvious....
I love this song. It is simply about how messed up life can be in my opinion, and oh, my life is so messed up right now. Lovely song.
