about

Going back slightly on the sentiment of Start Again, this is a song about guilt and the pleasure derived from self-pity. There isn't much optimistic about this one, but its a pretty honest description of how things are living as an aimless 20 something afraid of doing anything of note. I've been a bit of a substance abuser in the past and such a lifestyle for me personally is conducive to self-loathing and unhappiness, I suppose this kind of expresses that.

lyrics

give me your hunger
and your distance
I've been feeding my addictions
by the drunken mother's bottle
and the holes I burn in my brain
left the light on
in my memory
wish I didn't have to look
at the crimes of passion, crimes of love
crimes of being an asshole, crimes of being misunderstood

but if we tally up our failures
then I'll finally be a winner
get the first placed tin medal
for being the greatest sinner
and I'd never have to buy another drink
in another nowhere bar
I wouldn't have to go very far

I've never been one to consider
what the righteous like to call
the bigger picture
just as long as I can wish myself to sleep
for another night
I fell in love yesterday
with another on the screen
who I saw and for a moment
felt again like I was eighteen
not afraid of waking up
aware of who I am
and who I'm destined to be

cos I've lost my share of fights
that I've never even started
and I've lost my share of love
that I've never been a part of
and I've lost my share of fucks
that I've never even given
but still I am yet to forgive
or to be forgiven
