Go Find Yourself a Dry Place Lyrics
I wish there was something I could do for you
I wish there were some words I could say
But I know that you thought it out so well
And I know there is nothing I should say
Figured it all out, figured it all out
And nothing stands up to my ideology
And truth is built on shaky ground
Depression's all I get from philosophy
Do I really, do I really want the truth I found?
Who is to blame
The educated remains of dead scholars?
So tell me, what's the point of surviving?
Why do we try so hard to stay alive?
We know that nothing we do really matters
And it will wash away with time
It will wash away with time (wash away with time)
But there's a feeling I get when the amp is loud enough
There's a feeling I get when she smiles at me
And there's a feeling I get when staying awake with you
Stay awake with you
And that is all there is, then that is all I need
And someday you will see it's true
Body grows tired when no sleep can mend it
And time has chased and killed all of our friends
There is no place left in the sky for them to send us to
Just lay down and let the light come under the door?
Cover up our dreams, cover up the years
And you take, our bodies will make raspberries grow
I wish there were some words I could say
But I know that you thought it out so well
And I know there is nothing I should say
And truth is built on shaky ground
Depression's all I get from philosophy
Do I really, do I really want the truth I found?
Who is to blame
The educated remains of dead scholars?
Why do we try so hard to stay alive?
We know that nothing we do really matters
And it will wash away with time
It will wash away with time (wash away with time)
There's a feeling I get when she smiles at me
And there's a feeling I get when staying awake with you
Stay awake with you
And that is all there is, then that is all I need
And someday you will see it's true
And time has chased and killed all of our friends
There is no place left in the sky for them to send us to
Just lay down and let the light come under the door?
Cover up our dreams, cover up the years
And you take, our bodies will make raspberries grow

"And nothing stands up to my ideology" although this does make sense- i think it may be: "And nothing stands up to biology"
mentioning a subject based on truths, ect. ideology doesnt really fit
why is this song so damn good.
'just lay down, and get black in the dirt'
i assumed the dirt would 'cover up our dreams'
cover up our dreams, cover up the years and you take, our bodies will make raspberries grow. That is such an odd line, but it makes it memorable. i love bright eyes.
Discovery of the fake concept of life, we are far more material than we would like, I dont know. He cant find the point of keep going on, everything is temporary and will wash away eventually, but realizes life is far more wide than nihilistic side is trying to credit it for.
And nothing stands up to biology And truth is built on shady ground Depression's all I get from philosophy Do I really, do I really want the truth I found?
I think those are the real lyrics, but I'm not totally sure. I LOVE this song. It's so nice because you can relate to it- it conveys a feeling of real helplessness and fatigue. I think it's very nice.
wow this song is amazing, if anyone has a recording of it, please let me know on AIM, my sn is L337Klopping
"refused by light" (by commander venus) has the line:
go find yourself a dry place where the storm can't touch you any more
i love the way conor sings this song.
i always thought it was "truth is built on SHAKY ground". anyway, good song.
I think there are a few corrections to these lyrics:
and nothing stands up to my idealogy and truth is built on shaky ground depression's all i get from philosophy and do i really, do i really want the truth i've found? do i want the truth i've found?
who's to blame? the educated remains *of dead scholars?
so tell me what's the point of surviving why do we try *so hard to stay alive? we know that nothing we do really matters and it will wash away with time it will wash with time
but there's a feeling i get when the amp is loud enough and there's a feeling i get when she smiles at me and there's a feeling i get when i'm staying up late with you stay up late with you that is all there is and that is all i need and someday you will see it's true
the body grows tired when no sleep can mend it and time has chased and killed all of our friends there is no place left in the sky for them to send us to just lay down and let the light under (through?) the door cover up our dreams, cover up the years and you take, our bodies will make the raspberries grow.
Hope that helps.
