They say an end can be a start
Feels like I’ve been buried yet I’m still alive
It’s like a bad day that never ends
I feel the chaos around me
A thing I don’t try to deny
I’d better learn to accept that
There are things in my life that I can’t control
They say love ain’t nothing but a sore
I don’t even know what love is
Too many tears have had to fall
Don’t you know I’m so tired of it all
I have known terror dizzy spells
Finding out the secrets words won’t tell
Whatever it is it can’t be named
There’s a part of my world that' s fading away
You know I don’t want to be clever
To be brilliant or superior
True like ice, true like fire
Now I know that a breeze can blow me away
Now I know there’s much more dignity
In defeat than in the brightest victory
I’m losing my balance on the tight rope
Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please, tell me please
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it’s all over I’ll let you know
Hang on to the good days
I can lean on my friends
They help me going through hard times
But I’m feeding the enemy
I’m in league with the foe
Blame me for what’s happening
I can’t try, I can’t try, I can’t try, I can’t try
No one knows the hard times I went through
If happiness came I miss the call
The stormy days ain’t over
I’ve tried and lost know I think that I pay the cost
Now I’ve watched all my castles fall
They were made of dust, after all
Someday all this mess will make me laugh
I can’t wait, I can’t wait, I can’t wait, I can’t wait
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it’s all over I’ll let you know
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it’s all over I’ll let you know
It’s like somebody took my place
I ain’t even playing my own game
The rules have changed well I didn’t know
There are things in my life I can’t control
I feel the chaos around me
A thing I don’t try to deny
I’d better learn to accept that
There’s a part of my life that will go away
Dark is the night, cold is the ground
In the circular solitude of my heart
As one who strives a hill to climb
I am sure I’ll come through I don’t know how
They say an end can be a start
Feels like I’ve been buried yet I’m still alive
I’m losing my balance on the tight rope
Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please, tell me please
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it’s all over I’ll let you know
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it’s all over I’ll let you know
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it’s all over I’ll let you know
Probably the best representation of depression that I've ever heard. It was exactly like that. Being in league with the foe, knowing that if you get through it you lose something of yourself and the world you have. I'm glad it's over for me now though I know too well, it truly never leaves. But at least I know, the aftermath, It's a mess but I'm glad I finally felt better. "If I ever feel better" were once the words. Now I feel it. But nothings like before. How can it be?
I really feel this song. My gf broke up with me after 6 years of relationship, and getting over it has been truly awful, she has a new relationship so she doesn’t want to know about me and neither I wanna know about her. 9 months have passed and even tho I’m not crying for her, i feel like im not ready for someone new, saddest thing is that I’ve met lots of nice girls but i just don’t feel ready. I’m still sad.
Six months back, I stumbled upon this song while listening to the radio on my phone. I instantly found it cool. I loved it upon first hearing.
I was convinced it was a brand- new song. This song got stuck in my head all day long when I was at work. When I came back home from work, I searched for this song on the Internet. I couldn't believe that it was released almost 20 years back! When I found out that the band was from my own country, France, it only added to my amazement.
I have no idea how I missed this gem when it initially came out. And I have no clue why I never heard of Phoenix before.
I'm really glad that I eventually did. Better late than never.
This is a classic example of a song where the lyrics don't necessarily rhyme.. Yet the artist cleverly modulates his tone and music there by making it amazing to hear.. N coupled with the french accent it has elevated itself to a whole new level.
