Let's get deep

Alright fine, let's get deep. Life is better when taken lightly, but let's get deep. Because I don't function based on what is better, I function based on how I feel. And I never take things lightly. Maybe that's a downfall.

Well Jesus Christ, I'm alone again.
So what did you do those three days you were dead?
Cuz this problem's gonna last
more than the weekend.
Well Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die,
I'm a little bit scared of what comes after.
Do I get the gold chariot?
Do I float through the ceiling?

-Brand New, "Jesus Christ"

I used to not understand Brand New songs. They used to seem so random. And even everyone I asked didn't understand, they just said that they were all inside jokes. But they started to make sense. Now I get it. It's kind of funny. That no one else understood either, and now it finally makes sense to me. I wonder if it will ever make sense to them.

Was losing all my friends
Was losing them to drinking and to driving
Was losing all my friends and I got them back

I am on the mend
At least now I can say I'm trying
And I hope you will forget the things I still lack

-Brand New, "Sowing Season"

See.

Let's get deep. Let me sleep. the kind of sleep you don't disturb, you dream for days and keep your nerves. Let's get deep, you can bury me into the ground. And when you throw the dirt on you'll hear the sound of my soul finally coming to rest. and then you'll know it was for the best.

Yeah yeah. Problems. They sometimes shouldn't be shared. But sometimes you need an ear. And sometimes the people you throw it on don't want it.

So now I know the meaning of the words

Making it our problem.

A little too well. And I think sometimes life would be easier if you had no one to trust.
