Shut the fuck up she said
I'm going fucking deaf
You're always too loud
Everything's too loud

Now that all my friends left
This place is fucking dead
I want to move out
When can we move out?
This shit has got to stop
I'll run away

Get the fuck up she said
Your life is meaningless
It's going nowhere (nowhere)
You're going nowhere (nowhere)

You're just a fuck up she said
I'll live alone instead
She said, you don't care (you don't care)
I know I don't care (I know I don't care)

I'll never ask permission from you
Fuck off, I'm not listening to you
I'm not coming home
I'm never going to come back home

I got too fucked up again
And passed out on the plane
Tried to forget you (forget you)
I can't forget you (I can't forget you)

No sleep on this flight
I'll think about the nights
We had to get through (we had to get through)
How did we get through? (How did we get through?)

I'll never ask permission from you
Fuck off, I'm not listening to you
I'm not coming home
I'm never going to come back home
I'll run away

I think it's time that I should leave
I think it's time that I should leave
I think it's time that I should leave
I think it's time that I should leave

I'll never ask permission from you
Fuck off, I'm not listening to you
I'm not coming home
I'm never going to come back home
I'll run away

I think it's time for me to leave (I'll run away)
I think it's time for me to leave (I'll run away)
I think it's time for me to leave (I'll run away)
I think it's time for me to leave

    I agree, too. Diffently feeling this about my mom. Always yelling at me and telling me my life is meaningless.

    This is the greatest song ever. Let someone boss you around for a while, then go get a case of beer, a tac hammer,and some epson salt. Oh yeah sing this song as loud as you can. See if they ever boss you around again. Mark is totally pissed at people telling him what to do an do and he fucking let them have it.

Trouble Breathing
Alkaline Trio
While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.

Zombie
Cranberries, The
"Zombie" is about the ethno-political conflict in Ireland. This is obvious if you know anything of the singer (Dolores O'Riordan)'s Irish heritage and understood the "1916" Easter Rising reference. "Another head hangs lowly Child is slowly taken And the violence caused such silence Who are we mistaken - Another mother's breaking Heart is taking over" Laments the Warrington bomb attacks in which two children were fatally injured on March 23rd, 1993. Twelve year old Tim Parry was taken off life support with permission from his mother after five days in the hospital, virtually braindead. "But you see it's not me It's not my family" References how people who are not directly involved with the violence feel about it. They are "zombies" without sympathy who refuse to take action while others suffer.
