    I just made myself some hot chocolate, about to head to bed and I put this song on, I don’t know why but it gives me a sad nostalgic feeling and it makes me feel strangely drawn to the origins of life, like everything’s just a fragment of our imaginations, but oh well, it’s just another thought. Have a good day / night friends :)

    [Chorus] There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt The changing of the seasons never changed my hurt So what's it worth? What's it worth? Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of gin Another drop of poison that is slowly sinking in If we're going down together, better take another hit We won't be here forever, so let's make the best of it [Post-Chorus] Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh [Verse 1] Walking down to the burial ground With a sad song in his brain General Cloud is an old man now But it feels like yesterday He was on the front lines, stranded on the beach Crawling to his best friend, floating in the sea But he didn't make it, he still can't believe How arbitrary fate is, he says [Chorus] There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt The changing of the seasons never changed my hurt So what's it worth? What's it worth? Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of gin Another drop of poison that is slowly sinking in If we're going down together, better take another hit We won't be here forever, so let's make the best of it [Post-Chorus] Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh [Verse 2] She went down to her job in town With a sad song in her heart 33 with a wasted dream to become a movie star Living out a suitcase, serving at a bar Saving up some pennies, working after dark Is she gonna make it? She still can't believe How arbitrary fate is, she says [Chorus] There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt The changing of the seasons never changed my hurt So what's it worth? What's it worth? Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of gin Another drop of poison that is slowly sinking in If we're going down together, better take another hit We won't be here forever, so let's make the best of it [Post-Chorus] Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh [Chorus] There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt The changing of the seasons never changed my hurt So what's it worth? What's it worth? Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of gin Another drop of poison that is slowly sinking in If we're going down together, better take another hit We won't be here forever, so let's make the best of it [Post-Chorus] Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

    Just stumbled across this again after not having heard it for 5 years... I used to play this song on repeat when I was 13 😭

    If you read into the lyrics and really think about them it’s so depressing and nihilistic
  • @Ori_Moon
