On the Radio
Nathan Johnson Lyrics

This is how it works
Life can be unpredictable and often difficult to understand

It feels a little worse
Sometimes life can be more challenging than expected

Than when we drove our hearse
Even the darkest memories can seem less daunting when compared to present hardships

Right through that screaming crowd
Navigating through chaos and challenges is often necessary to move forward

While laughing up a storm
Finding humor, even during difficult moments, can relieve some of the tension and make it easier to handle

Until we were just bone
Extreme situations can take a toll on a person, both physically and mentally

Until it got so warm
The intensity of a situation can reach a point of discomfort and even danger

That none of us could sleep
The stress and anxiety of a tough situation can affect one's ability to rest and recover

And all the Styrofoam
Even objects that once seemed sturdy can succumb to the pressures of a difficult situation

Began to melt away
Sustaining a situation for too long can cause irreversible damage

We tried to find some worms
In desperate times, people may resort to unconventional methods to cope or survive

To aid in the decay
Even decay and destruction can serve a purpose if it means moving forward or letting go of something harmful

But none of them were home
Sometimes solutions can appear out of reach or impossible to achieve

Inside their catacomb
Hope for a solution can sometimes be found in the darkest, most unlikely places

A million ancient bees
The weight of difficult circumstances can be overwhelming and feel like the constant sting of a bee

Began to sting our knees
The pain and difficulty of a situation can seep into every part of a person's life

While we were on our knees
Faced with the enormity of a situation, people may feel powerless and defeated

Praying that disease
In moments of hardship, people may turn to prayer or other forms of hope and comfort

Would leave the ones we love
The pain of a situation can extend beyond oneself and affect those closest to us

And never come again
There is hope that in moving forward and learning from difficult experiences, similar hardships can be avoided

On the radio
Music can provide solace and escape during tough times

We heard November Rain
Even in the midst of difficulty, moments of beauty and hope can be found

That solo's really long
Music, like life, can be complex and difficult to navigate

But it's a pretty song
Even amidst chaos, beauty can be appreciated and provide comfort

We listened to it twice
People may find solace in repetition and familiarity during tough times

'Cause the DJ was asleep
Even in moments of chaos, people can find moments of levity and humor

You're young until you're not
Life can change unexpectedly and quickly

You love until you don't
Relationships can be complex and difficult to navigate, and feelings can change with time

You try until you can't
People may push themselves to their limits in an effort to achieve their goals

You laugh until you cry
Humor can provide relief even in the midst of sadness or difficulty

You cry until you laugh
The weight of a situation can be so heavy that even humor seems like the only release

And everyone must breathe
In moments of hardship, it's important to remember to take care of oneself

Until their dying breath
The importance of self-care and self-preservation extends to the end of one's life

You peer inside yourself
In order to move forward, one must first explore and understand themselves

You take the things you like
By exploring one's personal likes and preferences, one can gain a better sense of self

And try to love the things you took
Learning to appreciate and love the things one once took for granted can lead to a fuller and more satisfied life

And then you take that love you made
Once a sense of self-love is achieved, it can be shared with others

And stick it into some
Through love and connection, one can make positive changes in the world

Someone else's heart
Compassion and empathy can help connect people and create positive change

Pumping someone else's blood
A sense of shared humanity can drive people to help others and make a difference in the world

And walking arm in arm
By coming together, people can create more positive change than they could alone

You hope it don't get harmed
Working towards positive change can be difficult and vulnerable, and there's always a risk of setbacks or harm

But even if it does
Even in the face of setbacks, it's important to continue striving towards positive change

You'll just do it all again
Even in the face of hardship, people will continue to adapt, grow, and make a difference in the world
