What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
It all began with the bright light
2
The bright light and the noise
3
The chaos of the senses
4
And the scream of desire
5
Touchin' and bein' touched
6
A million lose ends to tie up
7
Tickin' of the clock
8
And the cradle rock
9
The colors stand still
10
And then they move around
11
Comin' in and out of focus
12
Upside down
13
Empty winter trees
14
How space feels
15
Love of the soft
16
Flowers and the sky
17
One fine day
18
The chaos subsides
19
Bleeds into awareness
20
And a lifetime of surprise
21
The beauty of your mother's eyes
22
The pain when you fall
23
You drink it in and marvel at it all
24
But you never really figure it out
25
You get used to it
26
The babble of the family
27
And the dumb TV
28
Roar of the traffic
29
And the thunder of jets
30
Chemicals in the water
31
Drugs in the food
32
The heat of the kitchen
33
And the beat of the system
34
The attitude of authority
35
And the laws and the rules
36
Hit me square in the face
37
First morning at school
38
The heroes and the zeros
39
The first love of my life
40
When to kiss and to kick
41
And to keep your head down
42
When they're choosin' the sides
43
I was never any good at it
44
I was terrified most of the time
45
I never got over it
46
I got used to it
47
Alone in the city
48
At seventeen
49
With the hollow, the lonely
50
The drowning and the drowned
51
I was made to feel worthless, the wretched and the mean
52
Beat me up like a weapon
53
I can't run away from or find a way 'round
54
Holdin' on, holdin' on
55
The greed and the missiles
56
Exploding somewhere every day
57
Hideous dark secrets under the sea
58
And in holes in the ground
59
The cold war's gone
60
But those bastards'll find us another one
61
They're here to protect you, don't you know?
62
So get used to it, get used to it
63
Oh, the clash of religions
64
And the loaded prayers
65
Information the face of starvation
66
And the state of the nation
67
The sense that it's useless
68
And the fear to try
69
Not believin' the leaders, the media that feeds us
70
Livin' with the big lie
71
You get used to it
72
Hey, you get used to it
73
It's okay, it's okay, you get used to it
