Car Underwater

"I'm in a car underwater
with time to kill"
-Armor For Sleep: Car Underwater

I don't know how you feel about the little pop rock scene we have going on here.... I'll admit I'm a fan.... haha. They just have these catchy, cleaver lyrics.... and it's fun for me to listen to.

The first time I heard the song "Car Underwater" by Armor for Sleep... I was in fact asleep lol. The first verse passed through me without striking much of a nerve, but as soon as the chorus came on I woke up to actually give a thorough listening to the song.

"I'm in a car underwater with time to kill, Thinking back I forgot to tell you this
I didn't care that you left and abandoned me, what hurts more is I would still die for you"

I felt I could really relate to the words coming out of the speakers. The notion that it really didn't matter how much someone may have hurt me, because I'll still care about that individual. It's such an "emo" concept... but I don't even think of it in that way. I mean, Isn't it a selfless act to care for someone, even if it isn't returned to you?

In some ways I listen to the song and take it completely out of it's context, but I also think it's improtant to be able to pull your own individual meaning out of the music. Thats the beauty behind it all... the fact that all of us can relate to an individual song in very diffrent ways....
