Good News
Yearning for Innocence: Exploring the Depths of Something Corporate's 'Good News'
Lyrics
She's trapped inside her room
Feeling confined and isolated in her room.
With reruns on the screen
Watching repeated TV shows.
Old books and movies
Engaging with old books and movies.
But she can't stop thinking
Despite distractions, her thoughts persist.
I'm torn between myself
Torn between different aspects of herself.
My radio my friends
Balancing personal space, music, and friends.
I want to write this one off over and over again
Repeating a cycle of wanting to dismiss something.
And then she looked at me to scream
A moment where she looks at someone and expresses distress.
"My castles are falling"
Metaphorically, her personal structures are collapsing.
But I can't look into the street
Unable to face reality outside her comfort zone.
Without everything changing
Resistance to change in the external world.
I want to read good news
Expressing a desire for positive information.
I want to be innocent again
Longing for the simplicity and purity of innocence.
I want to read good news
Reiteration of the wish for uplifting news.
But nothing good is happening
Contrast between the desire for good news and the lack thereof.
She waits all day
Waiting with anticipation throughout the day.
She stands a stranger in her skin
Feeling disconnected from her own identity.
She moves the science with her hands
Interacting with the world through scientific exploration.
She lines her walls
Decorating her space with documented thoughts and events.
With every paper she can see
Surrounding herself with information but feeling trapped.
These words consume her
Words and information are all-consuming but not liberating.
But they never set her free
The knowledge she accumulates doesn't bring freedom.
And then she looked at me to scream
A repeated moment of distress shared with someone.
"My castles are falling"
Reiteration of personal structures crumbling.
But I can't look into the street
Avoiding confronting the changing external world.
Without everything changing
Reluctance to accept the transformations around.
I want to read good news
Yearning for information that brings joy and hope.
I want to be innocent again
Nostalgia for the purity and simplicity of childhood.
I want to read good news
Continued wish for positive and uplifting news.
But nothing good is happening
Emphasizing the absence of positive developments.
I want to read good news
Longing for the innocence and carefree nature of childhood.
I want to be a little kid again
Reiterating the desire for positive information.
I want to read good news
Continued nostalgia for the simplicity of childhood.
But nothing good is happening
Stressing the absence of positive occurrences.
I want to read good news
Repetition of the longing for uplifting news.
I want to go to sleep at night again
Expressing a desire for peaceful and undisturbed sleep.
I want to read good news
Reiterating the wish for positive information before sleep.
But nothing good is happening
Final emphasis on the lack of positive developments.
