Cover art for Drilling lyrics by Minus the Bear

this song seems to coincide with my life right now, in a few ways. i can't really say much for the parts where he talks on being on a vacation, about the ocean and all that.. but here's how it affects me personally.... right now i'm completely in love with this girl, and i'm about to move from the town i've lived in for the past 10 years to be with her somewhere else. there's alot of things going on between me and my friends i don't feel like explaining in detail, but anyway, the "This old story/when we're gone I feel I'll never miss anyone" pretty much says it for me. The "is this a dream" part, to me, speaks of love, of my relationship, as does the rest of the verse. the "for the moment we'll have our stay" line really captures my exact feelings toward whether or not this love will last. there's always the possibility that it won't, but for now we're happy, and that's what matters now. "You know tomorrow comes like disease to us" says the same thing, but more in fear than in contentment. it's like saying 'one day this will surely end, one way or another.' and the "i'm not cold tonight beside you" goes back to me being happy with what i have. a little worried at times, but tonight i am fine, everything is in its place.

anyway that's what this song means to me right now. it's perfect.
