Longtime Sunshine Lyrics

Cover art for Longtime Sunshine lyrics by Rivers Cuomo

Some people believe this song is part of Weezer's unreleased space opera Songs from the Black Hole. This song is Rivers just saying that he misses his simple life, and that he doesn't really enjoy being a rockstar. I love the last stanza:

'Sometimes I wanna get in a car Close my eyes and drive real fast Keep on going 'till I get some place Where I can truly rest"

I posted this on facebook, and people thought it was suicidal, but I don't think that. To me it sounds like he doesn't care where he goes he just wants to be left alone. That fits in with the way that Rivers usually thinks. He doesn't want to be famous; he wants to be alone, and happy.
