i suppose i...should take away a lesson...take away what's mine and leave behind impression...impression...impression...impression
i suppose it's you...in a deep and dark depression.. you take away the truth and leave behind confession...confession...confession...confession
i'm coming round the corner...i'm sure i'm at the end... i'm sitting in the bell tower...27th below, where are my friends?
a silly circle-k, dirtbag's in my way.. i know it's strange...i'm emptying my pockets...empty...i guess i'll make the change
there are vague references to my childhood here as a contrast to an extremely pivotal juncture in college...on the brink, as it were, and the difference of going this way or that way came down to the fact i had not a penny on my person...
this is the other piano part that starts in the song "i rushed in"...our approach was akin to a 'classical' piece with lots of paint strokes with many instruments...Steve pulled myriad instruments out of the proverbial ether (most of which, i would not normally recognize as a "musical" instrument) he made them work quite nicely..
for such a deep personal song, the title is actually a slam joke on a commercially successful song that i cannot stand...to leave the title as it is is a sublime social comment about what is successful in the music business and what is not, and what is successful in life, and what is not...
