    Lyrics:
    Life's too short to even care at all, oh
    I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control, oh oh
    These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh oh
    Oh oh oh oh
    A wet world aches for a beat of a drum
    Oh
    If I could find a way to see this straight
    I'd run away
    To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
    I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down.
    Life's too short to even care at all, oh, oh
    I'm coming up now, coming up now out of the blue, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    A dark world aches for a splash of the sun, oh, oh
    If I could find a way to see this straight
    I'd run away
    To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
    And so I run now to the things they said could restore me
    Restore life the way it should be
    I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
    Life's too short to even care at all, oh, oh
    I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
    If I could find a way to see this straight
    I'd run away
    To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
    So I run now to the things they said could restore me
    Restore life the way it should be
    I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
    One more spoon of cough syrup now, whoa.

      22.000.000 isnt anything for youtube, also i can click this vid and leave after 3 seconds and stills counts. Nobody talks about the group so yes they are underrated. Actually I only discovered it because Spotifiy put it as related to Kodaline.

      S.A. Nyx are you really saying he should have killed himself? Yes of course in the beginning i hated him too for bullying Kurt but my opinion of him changed. He has in my opinion one of the greatest character developments on the show. He was really struggling emotionally and hating himself and although that is of course no reason whatsoever to bully someone, i can kind of understand him. I am so glad that he was able to accept himself after some time because I know how difficult and sad it can be to hate oneself.

    I'm not sure about the true meaning of this song. but somehow I find it relevant to my situation, at the age of 19 I don't know what I want, and I don't know what I want for my future, and I just feel lost, and feel that my life is going no where, I hope that once the cough syrup goes down, I can clearly see what I want, and see my true purpose.

      When I was your age and younger I and everyone I knew and hung out with for any time, was incredibly jaded toward...well..everything. I don't know now why I refused to give a single solitary fuck about anything back then, least of all my future. I guess I just assumed that I wouldn't be around in that future. It's strange. Even though I did major damage to my body and mind from drug abuse without a thought to co sequences, I don't mind it so much. I just find if strange. I'm here to tell you that I am almost 36 and I have yet to find my purpose in life. I don't have a direction and I guess that is okay B.

    The way it is paced, sang and presented fits SOOO PERFECTLY, it should be a song in itself.

    This song has affected me in so many ways that I can’t explain. There’s so much going on , my ex leaving , parents arguing , suicidal thoughts. I’ve never been such a mess in my life. And this song brings something out in me that no words can express what brings out . “Losing my mind losing my mind losing control” is what I’m feeling with my ex leaving me , I’m losing myself because of her , she saw me through my ups and downs. Now that she left I feel alone and without anyone. Had plans for the future and to realize she can possibly find someone new and restart her love life breaks me so much. If you’re reading this I hope you’re doing alright !

    Lyrics
    Life's too short to even care at all oh
    I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
    These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh oh oh oh oh oh
    A wet world aches for a beat of a drum, oh
    If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
    To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
    I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down
    Life's too short to even care at all oh
    I'm coming up now coming up now out of the blue oh
    These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart oh oh oh oh
    A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh
    If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
    To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
    And so I run to the things they said could restore me
    Restore life the way it should be
    I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
    Life's too short to even care at all oh
    I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
    If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
    To some fortune that I, I should have found by now
    And so I run to the things they said could restore me
    Restore life the way it should be
    I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
    One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa
    One more spoon of cough syrup now whoa

    One of my favorite songs of all time. The tune, rhythm, meaning, and length are perfect. This song used to play on my favorite radio station about three years ago during a much better, simpler time. I wish I could go back to it, but listening to this, Sound of Winter, and Shake Me Down are as close as I get. Sadly, that radio station got shut down and replaced with a country station (like our 6th fuckin country station) so now we have no rock/alternative stations.

    there are so many different theories as to what this song is about and I really love it. they're all so deep and meaningful and I love how everyone has a different perception of the lyrics.

    this song's melody makes me think about the color yellow whenever i hear it. a mustardy yellow that's just so happy and beautiful, it's one of my favourite colors. i created a playlist on Spotify called mustard yellow and i added this song in there, not paying that much attention to the lyrics, because the melody was just happy, like me.
    one day i was sad. i deal with mental health issues and that day was specially rough. and i heard this song. and i actually paid attention to the lyrics. and they're so blue. this dark, kinda teal blue, that is not too bright but not too opaque, just a sad, melancholic blue that just feels nice. that makes me want to swim in an ocean and get lost and just never come back. which is my first favourite color, right before yellow.
    i am a big music lover and I've never had, in my 22 years of life, a song that i could call my favourite.
    until now.

    I think this song means that you have to get though hard things in life to make your life better, because you have to take a terrible tasting spoon of cough syrup before your cough goes away :)

      +tons of tutorials I took it to mean that he's been self medicating (i.e. drugs, alcohol, choose your poison) and that he's decided to stop and face life "Restore life the way it should be. I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down."

    • @TheTman6000
      @TheTman6000 8 років тому +1

      he is more specifically referencing dxm the active ingredient in alot of over the counter cough syrups like musinex delsym ect. that taken in a high enough dose makes you trip balls like you just took 2 or 3 hits of acid(depending on if u take enough) but in a different weird kinda way and it has a different body high than acid u feel kinda floaty
