What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Summer was almost over, I was at the threshold of my life
2
And I didn't have any plans at all
3
All I'd ever done was play in the woods all day
4
And Dungeons and Dragons all night long
5
And when next August came I would be turnin' eighteen
6
And I'd probably have to try to find a job
7
So like most kids do I decided to go to school
8
So that I could put that off
9
And when I told my parents the news
10
Some news I thought that they might like
11
Well, the look in their eyes was nothin' but surprise
12
And the first word that they said was, "Why?"
13
The first year went by just like a bad, bad dream
14
Some curse had turned me into a beast
15
And I was too afraid to ever leave my room
16
For fear of what the sun might do to me
17
But I don't want to talk about that here anymore
18
No, I've said everything I wanna say
19
As the year came to its end, the curse it was lifted
20
I guess sometimes monsters do get slain
21
And that summer I called up Valerie
22
This girl I'd met five years before at the skating rink
23
And it didn't take her long to fall in love with me
24
Sometimes I think that's just what a monster needs
25
She gave me some tapes of some local punk bands
26
And more importantly, the Violent Femmes
27
And I began to see what would become of me
28
And I owe her my life for that
29
When school started again she helped me move in
30
We saw a guy who look just like Robert Smith
31
She said, "My dear, you know you're gonna love this year
32
And you should become friends with him"
33
And that's just what I did, yes, I made so many friends
34
And I convinced my best friend Joe to come with me
35
Together we became so different, so the same
36
Like a newborn cow spreading out its wings
37
And that winter I met entropy
38
As things started to fall apart on me
39
I broke that girl's heart and Joe went home
40
It's hard to fly when you first get your wings
41
After Christmas break, well my room, it was so empty
42
It seemed like everybody had changed
43
Well maybe it was me, maybe I was forgetting
44
The person that I used to be
45
Or maybe I was just waking up
46
To become the person I was to become
47
Either way I knew that my school days were through
48
And that I couldn't stay where I was
49
But I had nowhere else to go
50
And I knew I could never go home
51
And each night in my bed I counted questions in my head
52
This was the first time I really felt alone
