Forever the Sickest Kids Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So get in or get out before your mom cracks down
Honest, it's a touch, too much to get down
So get up or lie down 'cause either way we're making out tonight
Alone, alone tonight

I put forth the effort to keep you happy for a while
We're two weeks in and here we are again, here we are again
And when it's over and done

I cannot get out of this place that I am in
When every one of your words, they mean nothing
I cannot get closer to you
Where do you get off telling me constantly, what I'm gonna be
That I'll be just fine if I cannot be close to you
(To you)

And so you gave me a second chance
It was my first intent to make you believe me
So tell me the way you felt the morning after
Tell me the way you felt, you wanted to hear it, so here it goes

And when it's over and done

I cannot get out of this place that I am in
When every one of your words, they mean nothing
If I cannot get closer to you
Where do you get off telling me constantly, what I'm gonna be
I'll be just fine if I cannot be close

Can't we just agree to disagree? It's a sad thing
(Come on, baby, I don't want to)
Can't we just agree to disagree? It's a sad thing
(And I love you too)

Can't we just agree to disagree? It's a sad thing
(Come on, baby, I don't want to)
Can't we just agree to disagree? It's a sad thing
(Come on, baby, I don't want to)

And when it's over and done
I cannot get out of this place that I am in
Oh, this place that I am in

I cannot get out of this place that I am in
When every one of your words, they mean nothing

If I cannot be close to you, where do you get off telling me constantly
What I'm gonna be, that I'll be just fine if I cannot be close to you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Indiana" by Forever the Sickest Kids talks about a complicated relationship between two people where one is trying to make it work while the other seems distant and uncommitted. The song starts with a warning to either get in or get out of the relationship before someone's mom "cracks down". This could be interpreted as the pressure from society or family members that might not allow them to continue with their relationship. The singer then expresses his desire to make out with his partner but acknowledges that it might be a touch too much to ask for. He then says that regardless of what his partner chooses to do, they will end up alone tonight.

In the next verse, the singer talks about his effort to keep the relationship together but after two weeks, they end up back to where they started. He seems to be frustrated with the situation that he cannot get out of and how his partner's words mean nothing to him. The chorus repeats itself, and the singer explains that he cannot get closer to his partner while she constantly tells him what he is going to be. He ends the song with a plea to agree to disagree and that he cannot get out of this place that he is in.

Overall, the lyrics of "Indiana" describe the struggle of trying to maintain a relationship with someone who seems uninterested or distant while also feeling trapped and unable to leave despite their words not meaning anything. The song's catchy chorus and upbeat melody contrast the somber lyrics, making it a bittersweet anthem for anyone experiencing similar feelings.
