lyrics

Meaning: Isolation of the highest order. Inability to connect. Frustration with lack of success. Screams at inserts that come with VHS copies of bad Don Bluth movies.

Well, it sucks here
Nature looks nice, but I don’t
I pour myself down the drain
And dispose of myself again.
My prison is here –
Should I sell out?
I did one
And I wasn’t that much happy.

Why do I look at my reflection?
Why do I want to be let down?
Fading out, fading in.

Haven’t turned on the television
I don’t want to relate to the news
Who knows – I might be on it
I might be on it.
I’m tired of being unnoticed –
When will I get my big break?
Even then, would people love me
Or shun me like a stupid singer?

Why do I look at my reflection?
Why do I want to be let down?
Fading out, fading in.

Down the road I go
On to summer camp and its end
And we’ll stop by Goodwill afterwards
Pick up a broken Beta tape
Have a picnic at Ronnie’s
Look over the fragments of my childhood
And I dream about her…
And I dream ABOUT HER-

Maybe it ain’t so bad
I could be worse
I could have no resemblance of independence
Nothing I could call my own
Nothing to live for
Except for a painted girl on paper
Nothing to do
Nothing to be

Why do I look at my reflection?
Why do I want to be let down?
Fading out, fading in.
Fading out, fading in.
