What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Born from hippies back in sixty nine
2
I was bored by 1992
3
I walked into a recruitment office a year before that
4
They said, "Son, we've been waiting for you"
5
Discharged from the Gulf War the very same year
6
I came home with a carton or two
7
Of cigarettes and mix tapes and bullets from a gun
8
That my dead best friend never did use
9
Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you
10
Let your sweaty embrace open wide
11
'Cause Atlanta, I'm falling like most people do
12
And I need all your ground to survive
13
Wasted and downtrodden, only in vain
14
I cried myself blind at the sight
15
Of the old shopping center where we used to ride
16
Now condos as sterile as I
17
So I bought me an old air stream for three thousand bucks
18
From a drug dealer I used to owe
19
And I thought to myself as I slept off a high
20
The irony is starting to show
21
Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you
22
Let your sweaty embrace open wide
23
'Cause Atlanta, I'm falling like some people do
24
And I need all your ground to survive
25
Drove out to Asheville 'cause that's where you were
26
Where you married into money and pills
27
And I wanted so bad to be good with you now
28
The fact is that you never will
29
'Cause some become lovers because of the sex
30
And some you know, they just become friends
31
In our case I just became bad at it all
32
I never got good at it again
33
Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you
34
Let your sweaty embrace open wide
35
'Cause Atlanta, I'm suffocating like some people do
36
And I need all your air to survive
