| "Hey my friend, it seems your eyes are troubled, care to share your times with me? Would you say you're feeling low and so a good idea would be to get it off your mind? See, you and me have a better time than most can dream, have it better than the best and so can pull on through, whatever tears at us, whatever holds us down, and if nothing can be done we'll make the best of what's around!" - The Best of What's Around "What I want is what I've not got, and What I need is all around me! Reaching, searching, never stop..." - Jimi Thing "Would you not like to be sitting on top of the world with your legs hanging free? Would you not like to be OK, OK, OK?" - Lie In Our Graves "Come and relax now, put your troubles down. No need to bear the weight of your worries here let them all fall away!" - Pantala Naga Pampa "Oh, life it seems a struggle between what we think what we see, I'm not going to change my ways just to please you, or appease you! Inside a crowd, five billion proud, willing to punch it out... Right, wrong, weak, strong, ashes to ashes all fall down." - Seek Up "Roll uptown to midnight, then roll on downtown till its light, because tomorrow we may die, oh but tonight we're dancing in the fate light! Don't you rob yourself of what you're feeling, don't rob yourself of all that you could be - Roll hard 'til midnight, roll 'til its light, come on now!" - So Right "I was just wondering if you'd come along - hold up my head when my head won't hold on? I'll do the same if the same's what you want, but if not I'll go, I will go alone. I'm a long way from that fool's mistake and now forever pay? No, run! I will run and I'll be okay..." **(Basically, this relates to something in my life. It tells me that some things are meant to be, and some are not. If they aren't, then don't waste your life thinking how it would have been if things turned out the way you hoped they would. Some things are in the past, and need to be kept there. Always look ahead in life, don't look back in the rear view mirror.) - The Stone "Celebrate we will, because life is short but sweet for certain. We're climbing two by two, to be sure these days continue - these things we cannot change." - Two Step "Everybody's happy, everybody's free. We'll keep the big door open and everyone'll come around. Why are you different? Why are you that way? If you don't step in line we'll lock you away." **(Dave, talking sarcasitcally about how the world wants everyone to be, to conform to who THEY want you to be, and that uniqueness is not acceptable, and how ridiculous it is to hold people down like that. So be yourself, whoever that may be, and don't think twice about it. You only have one life, live it the way YOU want it to be lived, and you will not be regretting anything when you are 6 feet under...) - Typical Situation "Could I have been anyone other than me, could I have been anyone???" - Dancing Nancies "The future is no place to place your better days." - Cry Freedom "Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die!" - Tripping Billies "Love, Love, Love, what more is there???" - Pig "Don't burn the day away." - Pig "All you need is, all you want is, all you need is LOVE!" - Everyday |

| "Never miss an opportunity to tell someone, anyone, "I Love You" because you never know when your last chance may pass you by. Just 3 little words. It's not so tough to say, but I gurantee it will make somebody's day. - Me "Carpe Diem: Sieze the day." - Someone smart and probably important "Tomorrow, the sun will rise, but you never know what the tide will bring in." - Tom Hanks, Castaway |

| "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." - Matthew Broderick, Ferris Bueller's Day Off "No one knows what is in him till he tries, and many would never try if they were not forced to."

| "Mother Father please explain to me... ...Why a world so full of mystery A place so bitter and still so sweet So beautiful and yet so full of sad sad. ...How it could be so this world has come to be A precious balance in between Such cruelty and such kindness please please. ...How the world has come to be While still blessed in all the things we see Such a sad sad home for you and me." - Mother, Father **(Dave, taking a naive, sort of childish view at the world, and how when you step back and look at it, a lot of it doesn't make sense. How many fucked up things there are in this world, but things we can't directly change. Basically he's saying how sad it is that we have to live our lives in an environment like this.) |
| Most of these are self-explainatory. Most of them have to do with living life to the fullest, and "Carpe Diem," but a few others have some other meanings, and all fit into my life in some way or another. Someone once said that "All the answers in life are in the music YOU listen to," and so I have looked to Dave Matthews Band for an answer or two, and with what I have found, I would consider him one of the best lyricists of my time. |
