This album has some of my favorite lyrics in a long time. I've thought in recent years that I connect much less often with the words in songs than I used to. As an impassioned, romantic, volcanic teen, there are thousands of songs available to map yourself onto, whether it's healthy terrain or not.
As a 30-something battling depression in dark times, turns out I needed upbeat, singalong rock-pop songs about burning out and still trying to believe in the possibility of believing in yourself. There aren't enough of these, as far as I can tell.
Where, where do you go
When the tears leave your eyes?
When you feel that burn
I know words can't describeWhere do you go?
Remember when you told me?
When you can't believe in yourself
All you hear is anyone else
And if you'd just believe in yourself
We can tune out everyone else
That's all right!
