Sunless Saturday Lyrics

I love this song with a bloody passion. Its sounds so upbeat and shit, but then you listen to the lyrics and its like not so happy. I think the expression in it is clear, and only too often I can relate with the helpless feelings and hatred for the rest of the world. The happier rhythms that don't match the lyrics I think is like the mask one might put on to hid the true them from all the too self-absorbed, denying, or oblivious people that think they know them. Its kind of like saying, dig deeper, look to the true meaning of htis song, not the beat, but the lyrics. If you really want to know someone, delve deeper than the hair, the make-up, the clothes, the smile...cos it may all just be a hoax, a way to stream past the "Oh I won't tell" people to the "I'd risk my life for you if it came to that" people.

I think you hit it right on the head. It's that mix of dissatisfaction with the world and your place in it, with the happy façade we put on to face it. You secretly hope that someone will delve deeper and see past the façade, but most aren't willing or just don't think to.

Love this song. Depressing lyrics, but the music gives the song an opposite, invigorating effect.
