Riff
When you said alright
I thought you meant alright
When you said that's fine
I thought you meant that's fine
G5 Riff
I guess some standards don't always apply
Riff
When that kid goes home
He always goes alone
He hides in the machine
And always stays fourteen
G5 Riff
Well there's really nothing wrong with the plan
G5 Riff
He goes to sleep at night and holds his own hand
G5 Riff
It's inconceivable but could be an end
D5 C F G Riff
Who brings you back when you go go go...
D5 C F G Riff
Who keeps saying your prayers when you blow them off
D5 C F G Riff
Who keeps alive the concept of mind
D5 C F G
Who cares to care when they're really scared
Riff
When they're really scaredBreak:

| this has been here 5 yrs + and no comments? this is a rockin track from the gods...what a trip . the lyrics i think describe just a lonely kid, who is lost and probably pretty naive of course tossed in with the craziness of the sounds, the lyrics dont seem like much | |

| The song is awesome, the lyrics kinda' vague. There's obviously the loner, the fourteen year old boy who has "blown 'em off", he has virtually no-one, perhaps he sits in front of his "machine"/computer all day? He has noone to care when he get's scared, and he obviously gets scared one day. He has someone who cares, probably family/parents. "When you said alright / I thought you meant alright". But he "blows them off" rather than to confess his own problems and loneliness. I can imagine this kid goes along and try to kill himself or something, because the person caring, asking the questions that are answered with "alright" at some point suddenly realize that the boy didn't really mean "alright" at all. | |
