Story Behind The Song

Song Description

This is a song about conflicting emotions; the realization of years wasted, failure, etc., all while still somehow feeling like a million dollars. Living, unaffected; unemotional; responding without response. The entire song is a living paradox...

Lyrics

Verse 1:

It starts with the ringing of my ears; a spinning sensation, a realization. Five years to nowhere fast, and I'm still failing. And that's fine by me -- I can sing this song and forget everything that's not right. It's all right...

Pre-Chorus 1:

'Cause I'm kinda sorta somewhat starting to feel like I'm alive; it just won't stop, and that's fine by me...

Verse 2:

Well maybe I'm lost, or am I just blind? 'Cause everything is wrong, and I'm having the time of my life.

Pre-Chorus 2:

It doesn't matter much to me, I'll just move along, smile and nod, 'cause I --

I don't feel much of anything...
I don't feel much of anything...
I don't feel much of anything...

Chorus:

So I raise the volume higher, and I'll spin this record on and on and on. 'Cause nothing's ever what it seems, and I'm just tired of pretending that all is wrong. So sing along...
