Dissatisfied
Zebrahead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another reckless holiday
Another brain cell floats away
I've had enough, please wake me up
If I'm dreaming

Half these friends, fading fast, burning out, into ash
Where you wanna go, 'ause I will follow?
What you can't stomach, I will swallow.
Dissatisfied, dissatisfied, dissatisfied
Its alright, alright

Don't worry, everything's gonna be alright
It's alright
Don't worry, everything's gonna be alright, alright, alright
Dissatisfied

Another reckless holiday
Another brain cell floats away
I've had enough, please wake me up
If I'm dreaming

If the best of times only last
In a second come to the pass
Where you wanna go, 'cause I will follow?
What you can't stomach, I will swallow
Dissatisfied, dissatisfied, dissatisfied, its alright, alright

Don't worry everything's gonna be alright
It's alright
Don't worry everything's gonna be alright, alright, alright
Dissatisfied

Another reckless holiday
Another brain cell floats away
I've had enough, please wake me up
If I'm dreaming
Another never-ending night
Another long and sleepless life
I've had enough, please wake me up
If I'm dreaming

Twenty more days since we've been gone, and I'm so sick of
Twenty more nights I've spent alone, and I'm so sick of
Twenty more days 'till I get home, and I'm so sick of being here

Another reckless holiday
Another brain cell floats away
I've had enough, please wake me up
If I'm dreaming
Another reckless holiday
Another brain cell floats away
I've had enough, please wake me up
If I'm dreaming
Another never-ending night
Another long and sleepless life
I've had enough, please wake me up
If I'm dreaming
Another reckless holiday
Another brain cell floats away
I've had enough, please wake me up
If I'm dreaming
Another never-ending night
Another long and sleepless life




I've had enough, please wake me up
If I'm dreaming

I recently got a Japanese copy of this album for my Zebrahead physical CD collection. These bonus songs are just too good not to have in max quality.

Artemium

Услышал это из school 13 в 2012 году, сейчас мне 18, а Димон пристрастил слушать Pop Punk

BRIGHTON HELMY

согласен, охуеный был сериал жаль что он закончился в 14 году очень жако

MrEtien

Много песен из school13

MrEtien

Тебе тогда лет 7 было?

SSNAK

Очень долго искал трек, думал оффспринг, наконец узнал о существовании шазама. Школа 13 <3

Ian h

my copy of this album didnt have any of these hidden tracks so it was pretty crazy to discover them all like nearly 20 years later

I swear its endless holiday not wreckless, but everywhere I check says otherwise, I don't hear the "wreck" part, but I do hear "end" probs just the way he's singing it, but I only realised recently i been siging it wrong this whole time.
