See These Bones
Nada Surf Lyrics

Everyone's right and no one is sorry
People feel confident in their opinions and actions but often don't take responsibility for any negative consequences.

That's the start and the end of this story
This recurring behavior is a fundamental aspect of human interaction and will never truly go away.

From the sharks and the jets
This tense dynamic exists in many different groups and contexts.

To the call in the morning
Even simple and mundane experiences can highlight the complexities of human connection.

And life is just bets anyway
The outcomes of human experience are often unpredictable and taking risks is part of what makes life interesting.

Look alive, see these bones
Be present in the moment and recognize the fundamental truth of our mortal existence - that we are all just flesh and bone.

What you are now, we were once
We are all human and have shared experiences in our lives, despite any differences we may perceive.

Try as they might, no ones immune to
Even with our best efforts, we cannot avoid making mistakes and acting on bad judgment at times.

Misfiring and acting on the wrong clues
Negative outcomes can result from bad decision-making and a lack of understanding of important details.

And thinkin' it's time to redo and redo
It's important to recognize when we've acted in a way that needs to be corrected and take steps to learn from our mistakes.

I feel rain in the movies and the talk before the screen lights
The emotions and atmospheres of different experiences can blend together in unexpected ways, leading to unique associations with seemingly unrelated things.

I hear strings in the park
Even in the peaceful and serene setting of a park, we can still be reminded of the complexities and beauty of the world around us.

I don't like to call her right, except when its too late at night
There are some conversations that we may be reluctant to have, but we might feel the most compelled to reach out when we are feeling vulnerable or alone.

I mostly just think in the dark
Our thoughts and emotions can be complex and hard to articulate, and sometimes it's difficult to acknowledge them even to ourselves.

You were too tired to eat, too hungry to sleep
We may experience conflicting desires or emotions that don't have easy solutions or expressions.

Just imagine the speed, it's just what you need
It can feel liberating to move quickly and decisively through life at times, even if it brings with it a sense of chaos or instability.

The lights in the city are more or less blinking
The urban environment can be both electrifying and overwhelming, with competing senses of energy and confusion.

Which side of the story decides what you're thinking
The way we understand and make sense of events is often shaped by our prior experiences and perspectives.

We'll amount in cold faces??
In the face of complex or difficult situations, we may feel ourselves closing off emotionally or becoming more detached from our surroundings or others.

We're squinting, we're hurrying
Life can seem overwhelming and chaotic at times, and it can be hard to maintain a sense of clarity or focus.

We'll take inventory
From time to time, it's important to pause and reflect on our experiences in order to gain perspective and understand our own values and priorities.

We're digging, we're burrying
Even as we move forward in life, we often carry with us the memories and experiences of the past, sometimes by choice and sometimes by necessity.

Do you remember when the line was blown
Even small moments and occurrences can take on outsized significance in our memories and our understanding of our personal histories.

Do you remember when it fell
We may experience moments of loss or change that fundamentally alter our lives and our perceptions of the world around us.

Do you remember when you went to her house, remember ringing the bell
There are certain experiences and moments in life that stick with us, even as the years go by, and continue to hold a certain emotional resonance.

Just like we are, you'll be dust
No one is immune to the universal human experience of ultimate mortality and the cycle of life and death.

And just like we are, permanent
At the same time, people and experiences can leave an indelible mark on the world and on the lives of those around them, even after they have passed on.
