Radio with No Sound
Finding Solace in Radio Waves
Lyrics
Come on, mama
Requesting freedom or release from constraints or limitations
Take off these chains
Asking to be placed in a prominent position among others
Why don't you set me up front
Questioning why one isn't given attention or recognition
Where the other's arranged?
Referencing being arranged or placed in a particular order or setting
How come you never take me to town
Expressing disappointment about not being taken out
Dress me on up, parade me around?
Reflecting on being dressed up or shown off to others
Playing make believe, but no one's around
Playing pretend without an audience or acknowledgment
A radio with no sound
Feeling unheard or unnoticed, like a radio without sound
Got it all figured out by the age of thirteen
Claiming to have life figured out at a young age
Video games, and porn magazines
Engaging in activities typical of adolescence
Keep to myself, silent as the snow
Keeping thoughts and emotions to oneself
Slam the door to my room, I don't care anymore
Expressing indifference or resignation towards others
Playing make believe, but no one's around
Continuing to play pretend without an audience
Radio with no sound
Reiterating the feeling of being unheard or unnoticed
Life ain't nothing like a railroad track
Comparing life to a one-way journey, implying its irreversible nature
It'll lead you there, it don't lead you back
Life's path leads forward without the possibility of return
Sit 'round, drink 'til my dying day
Resorting to drinking and resignation to one's fate
And let the death of damnation take me away
Accepting a bleak destiny or outcome
Playing make believe, but no one's around
Continuing the act of pretending without an audience
Radio with no sound
Reiterating the feeling of being unheard or unnoticed
Still playing make believe, but no one's around
Continuing to play pretend without acknowledgment
Radio with no sound
Emphasizing the persistent feeling of being unheard or unnoticed
