My parachute didnt open, and when my back up failed, the pixie dust prevailed, and I woke up next to you. All I wanted was to hold you.

I was born in the city, however small it held a hospital, the location where I came into being.
It was all downhill from there.

what do you do when your lifes a disaster, and you're moving faster, and its getting harder to breathe?
what do you say, to someone who's right, but you disagree, even if its the truth?

I was told "You are depressed." by a little bird, that was severely hurt, as it did not notice my window.
It just flew where ever the wind blows.

As it convulsed on the pavement, it whispered "I am hated."
"your genetic flaws" I said "say it all you cant decipher reflections from reality, but neither can I...
i notice neither can I...
I notice neither can I...
I notice neither can I"

You are the cirle, I am the sqaure,
I have the non cut, you have the cool hair.
We both take showers, for almost an hour, but only once a week or two.

What do you do when your lifes a disaster, and you're moving faster, and its getting harder to breathe?
What do you say, to someone whos right, but you disagree even if its the truth.

    General Comment:Typo on the word circle, if anyone cares...

    This song's about someone fighting through depression and denial. I imagine a person who just got out of a relationship which was ended for good reasons, but doesn't want to believe it. Pretty self-explanatory, I think.
    I really like a few lines from this...

    "'Your genetic flaws' I said, 'say it all, you cant decipher reflections from reality, but neither can I...'"

    General Comment:the whole time i listened to the beginning of this song and where the words introduce themselves, all i could think of was singing Nothing Better by the Postal Service.
    it seems like the words almost perfectly fir with the beat at the beginning.

    General Comment:I agree with xDownzm.

    And yeah, he does really sound like the postal service.
    I heard they're one of his biggest influences.
    I truly love playradioplay.
    The lyrics in his songs are so sincere and they really make you think about life.
    This guy also has an amazing voice.
    Going back to this song though, the part about him coming across the injured bird made me cry!

    General Comment:To me, this song is talking about someone who is going through a breif hit of insanity, or maybe depression, and is missing someone insanely. Unable to 'Decipher Reflections From Reality', this person stumbles through day-to-day life, unsure of everything around them.

    Ahh I love this song, PlayRadioPlay! Will be big one day, I'm positive. :]
