Capital Furs

In the title I'm of course assuming they actually write their own music, which is generally a 50/50 shot these days it seems. However, even if they didn't write it themselves they deserve to be scorned for singing this shit.

I'd like to know if ANYONE knows what the hell half of these lyrics even mean. Obviously the 'theme' of the song is obvious, but I just can't relate half of the lyrics to the theme.

My eyes are open wide
And by the way, I made it
Through the day
I watched the world outside
By the way, I'm leaving out
Today

I just saw Hayley's comet
She waved
Said why you always running
In place?
Even the man in the
Moon disappeared
Somewhere in the
Stratosphere (Seriously. What the hell!?)

[Chorus]
Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance

Please don't cry
One tear for me
I'm not afraid of
What I have to say
This is my one and
Only voice
So listen close, it's
Only for today (This is my one and only voice. But only for  today! ... apparently)

I just saw Hayley's comet
She waved
Said why you always running
In place?
Even the man in the
Moon disappeared
Somewhere in the
Stratosphere (Again. What the hell!?)

[Chorus]
Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance

Here's my chance
This is my chance

Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance

Sometimes goodbye
Is a second chance [x2]

This song is on the radio CONSTANTLY and it's a terrible piece of music. It gives me flashbacks to Led Zepplin and the age of Ego Rock where the lyrics mean absolutely nothing, but they sound like they're deep and beautiful. Emo without the wrist scars.

It's like Simple Plan for tasteless twenty-somethings. Manufactured, cookie-cutter American rock. Also, I hate when bands use the word "Today" (or "tonight") to fill syllables. It usually has nothing to do with the rest of the lyrics surrounding it and it's just filler to round off a verse. Their shit is weak.

Precisely the reasoning behind my disliking of Rap and country music and Grey scale boring Pop that seems to try so hard to shove itself down your throat. Then Again that is just the likely one sided opinion of an Opera lover.
