Fireworks – When we stand on each other we block out the sun

  Song Meaning:First of all, I LOVE LOVE this song. But on the other hand, it's hard to tell what this song is really about. It seems like it's all over the place (lyrical content-wise), and the fact that it's hard for us to agree on the lyrics makes even harder to tell the meaning.
  
  I think the general theme is something like "I've come a long way, but some things are still like before, and I like it that way." The chorus is case-in-point; "I still take bad advice from my best friends." Maybe that's one of the few things he did before changing and he still does. (I'm still not sure how to interpret the bridge and the post-chorus, though.)

  "It's been two years
  Since I've taken this way home
  It's comforting to know
  
  Not much has changed
  From the fields we used to roam
  To sneak into those two abandoned Homes
  
  Everyones a writer I just have a general block
  There's signs in every yard
  Everyones a writer but a piece of plastic doesn't tend to make my mind
  
  I still take bad advice from my best friends
  Rather take bad advice from my best friends
  And guide a sinking ship down to the bottom with them
  
  I'll go to the bottom with you
  I'll go to the bottom with you
  
  Thinking back I'm thinking forward
  I always thought I'd be further than I ever am
  (Without this bad knee) Without this bad knee
  I wouldn't have a good one
  These vices don't hold me down
  They fucking carry me
  
  Everyones a writer I just have a general block
  There's signs in every yard
  Everyones a writer but a piece of plastic doesn't tend to make my mind
  
  I still take bad advice from my best friends
  Rather take bad advice from my best friends
  And guide a sinking ship down to the bottom with them
  
  I'll go to the bottom with you
  I'll go to the bottom
  
  Sometimes I can't believe
  the things I get myself into
  Because layin' low has never made much sense to me
  
  Sometimes I can't believe
  the things I get myself into
  Because layin' low has never made much sense to me
  
  I still take bad advice from my best friends (Wa-oh)
  
  I still take bad advice from my best friends
  Rather take bad advice from my best friends
  
  And guide a sinking ship down to the bottom with them
  
  I'll go to the bottom with you
  I'll go to the bottom with you
  
  So keep on spinnin'
  I'll stay behind
  My closing speech
  Fuck your world I'll take mine"
