Wait in line
'Till your time
Ticking clock
Everyone stop
Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Do you believe
In what you see
There doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me
Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel
Nothing is real
Wasting my time
In the waiting line
Do you believe in
What you see
Nine to five
Living lies
Everyday
Stealing time
Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can
Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can
Do you believe
In what you feel
It doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me
Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel
Nothing is real
Wasting my time
In the waiting line
Do you believe
In what you see
Ah and I'll shout and I'll scream
But I'd rather not be seen
And I'll hide away for another day
Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel
Nothing is real
Wasting my time
In the waiting line
Do you believe
In what you see
Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can
And everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can
And everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me

To me it symbolises this dull and depressing existence...the fact that no one really listens or cares about what u say or think, they just want to get their own say and care only for their own opinions.The mood of the song symbolises the daze of depression....that feeling you get when absorbed in misery of just floating through life, time and space and meaning having no coherency...all that exists in this inner battle. I think its a gorgeous song.

This song is so similar to my thoughts it's almost shocking. It's that feeling I get when I wake up at 6am and I'm just broken. I look around and find nothing worth seeing and I find it hard to believe I even exist anymore. The type of depression you have when you are surrounded by nothing but a bunch of human machines with machine like responses. No real friends...just you and your time that you have to kill until you die. The depressing reality which is life lived alone and for nothing.

Hmm.. I think it means we're all in line to die. In the meantime, we're living these meaningless lives. Morbid and depressing, this song offers an excellent juxtaposition to the sort of chill, laid back music that frames it. Me likey!

if any of the real zero 7 fans are out there that have seen the video, you understand this song. none of this garden state crap...but i'll save that for another time.
people have pretty much gotten to the main idea. it's about the monotony of life. everyone has their routine, no one stops to really pay attention to anything around them.
the video shows a robot on a spaceship, whose job is apparently to grow and harvest vegetables for the crew in some sort of 'dead garden' and prepare them for meals. it shows the robot's entire routine, and then as the song progresses it repeats the routine in a sped-up manner, until the robot decides to go water some plants in the dead garden on the ship. he stays there while the flowers glow and bloom, and sunlight comes in through the windows of the ship and the garden is alive and beautiful.
you can draw your other conclusions from that description too. but the video is worth watching, and is out on the net somewher.e. poke around zero7's website and in the older archives you can find it.

I can see where you would be frustrated that people are just now finding out about Zero 7 because of Garden State...it's like people finding out about Bad Religion for the first time because they opened for Blink 182. However, I think it is of importance to see how it fits in with the movie.
Everybody tends to relate songs to their own life, even if that's not exactly what the song is about. I am no exception, and I happen to be a recovering drug addict; so take the following with as much weight as you please.
But, I think it fits in with Garden State absolutely perfectly. When I heard that song, I saw myself in the past...using drugs all the time, not going anywhere, just waiting for something, ANYthing to happen to me. I am the motionless wheel...nothing around me is real, from my "friends" (aka drug buddies) to the manufactured happiness I'm feeling. Everybody is saying different things to me, and like how that line is presented, it's all very confusing and not much of it carries any weight with me. My friends are babbling about things I could care less about in their drug induced states...my parents keep calling me and telling me to do something with my life...my psychyatrist (sp?) keeps telling me that I need to change...etc, etc, etc.
But, that's just what it means to me. I don't think that finding out what the artist intended the song to mean is as important as clarifying what it means to you personally...thus, why this site is so interesting to me. ^_^

This song played in Garden State during the scene where he was getting high with all his friends and they were playing spin the bottle. I'm crazy about this song! I think it describes the kind of feeling that I get when something weird is happening to me and I'm just looking all around me, seeing other people's reactions and taking everything in. The music has such a great sound for what it means. I love it!

i think the song is about this world not being real, that it is all an illusion, and that no else can see it. Such a beautiful song

Siberian Kiss Glassjaw its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard Spirit Within Bertoldi Brothers Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards. Fortnight Taylor Swift The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro. Light Up The Sky Van Halen The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it. Mental Istid Ebba Grön This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.ioRate These Lyrics
