Lyrics for Pinch Me as interpreted by ojms

Pinch Me Lyrics
It's the perfect time of year
Somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough I guess
Considering everything's a mess
There's a restaurant down the street
Where hungry people like to eat
I could walk, but I'll just drive
It's colder than it looks outside

It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone, then you
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn when you
Try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time cos the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile when you
Realize that a guy my size might take a while just to
Try to figure out what all this is for

It's the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
And run through with my gym shorts on
Take a drink right from the hose
And change into some dryer clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
Sleep away the afternoon

It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone, then you
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn when you
Try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time cos the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile when you
Realize that a guy my size might take a while just to
Try to figure out what all this is for

Pinch me, pinch me
'Cause I'm still asleep
Please God, tell me
That I'm still asleep

On an evening such as this
It's hard to tell if I exist
Pack the car and leave this town
You'll notice that I'm not around
I could hide out under there
I just made you say underwear
I could leave but I'll just stay
All my stuff's here anyway

It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone, then you
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn when you
Try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time cos the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile when you
Realize that a guy my size might take a while just to
Try to figure out what all this is for

Try to figure out what all this is for
Try to see the world beyond your front door
Try to figure out what all this is for

This song is about someone said but they can't understand why. They just go through life on autopilot. My favorite line is "it's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone" because you're trying to grasp happiness again, but you can't seem to remember how. Great song.

I've had times where I am just sitting there, not doing anything, not thinking about anything in particular, and a feeling washes over me that I can't begin to describe. I feel like I'm dreaming. I don't like it. And I think that this is what the song's about. With some humor thrown in there for good measure.

This song brings me close to tears when I hear it. It's the story of my life, practically.

I swear, these guys could write a song about committing suicide and it would still put everyone in a good mood.

I agree with the idea that it's about depression. This is by far my favorite BNL song. Even though the lyrics and meaning are sad, and even though I agree/think almost everything said in this song, this song still never fails to put me in a good mood. So kudos, BNL.

I love the lines;

"I feel fine enough I guess,
Considering everything's a mess."
&
"I could leave but I'll just stay,
All my stuff's here anyway."

Amazing. :]

This is why I only listen to my fave band when I'm crying my eyes out... Because the most depressing lyrics are set to the happiest music.

I think it's awesome.
It just represents one of those crummy days you have, but it still makes you laugh.
It's up and down like a day or life is.
It just works.

i think this song is about a guy trying to just figure out his life.

"when you try to see the world beyond your front door"

I love this part...reminds me of the semester I spent abroad and was experiencing different ways of thinking. I got to do a lot of growing.

I like this one a lot... kinda Beatlesque, and that's cool by me.

Anyway, I think it's about a guy whose life sucks, and he's trying to figure out why, more or less.

its about laughing it off.
its about getting the fuck over it.

its about sucking it up and moving on with your life while having a good time.

basically...

shit happens, but life goes on.

I think that in the last part of the song the person gets back to normal by taking a step back and cracking jokes about what he was thinking. "Hey, I was going to leave because I was sad about being lazy, but I'm too lazy to leave, ha ha" Sorry if that was a bit confusing...

this song is about reminiscing on the past and how great things once were. it's about love, being a kid, and how innocent things once were. How great it is to have such a dream...when you were young, and life's obstacles were as difficult as running through the sprinkler with your gym shorts on.

pinch me!

because life isn't that simple...and life really sucks...but this song gives me hope.

It's about understanding yourself and asking big questions about the world, but then realizing how life doesn't need to be complex and you don't need to understand everything to enjoy it.

This song for me reminds me of my relationship everything is so gret when I'm with my boyfriend everything is simple and easy like the words in the song and when I try to think about what good things I must have done to deserve him in my life its more like the chorus, more complicated and deep. But really I didn't do anything, sometimes amazing people come in to your life for no reason at all :)

just an upbeat song about chronic depression/being stuck in rut.

I agree with what 90 % of you here said : The song is definitely about the apathy in going over routine in suburbia and feeling slightly depressed.

I want to add one thing. I think the song ended kind of positive way with the line :

I could leave but I'll just stay
All my stuff's here anyway

I'm probably affected by the music video but that line there, seems to say " You know, my life sucks but I'll make a best of it."

Like, the guy in the song knows he's not going to make a dramatic change in his life but he's coming to term with his life and learning accept his lot and try to make a best of it.
