after the third time listening to this song it became quite obvious what its about,
im a young one stuck in the thoughts of an old ones head
pete is the oldest in the band but he still feels as young as the others
while the others where just stirring awake i'm trying to trick myself to fall asleep again
pete has a sleep disorder where he can sleep for a few hours but if he wakes up it is hard to sleep again.
Mama
If we don't take the medication
We won't sleep for days
We won't sleep for days
Mama
If we pray to the lord
Does he sing on a stage?
Does he sing on a stage?
We waste it all
In the back of a long dark car
And I'm a sunshine machine
I want to get stuck
I want to get stuck
And be glowing in your memory
i think that this is referring to the time pete tried to commit suicide. he is saying if i dont overdose i will never get to sleep (death)
they are saying that they just waste the money on a fancy car and other stuff they dont really need
and pete is saying that if he killed himself he would be stuck in his friends and family's memories forever
