Day Fifteen: A Song That Describes You, Entitled "You"

So, when this song came out I was pretty sure it was written about me. I tend to be pretty self absorbed though. I'm sure most ladies of my generation, who are intelligent but unable to find their place in the working world can relate, waitress or not. However, currently being a waitress who also happens to be in the middle of a "what am I doing with my life" crisis, I can easily relate to this song and even find it a bit uplifting. Some shit sucks but other shit is off the hook awesome. I like my friends, I like to dance, I like music, and my dog rules. I suppose that is the Midwestern spirit that fuels many of Atmosphere's tunes and is engrained in all us Minnesotans. Don't let the bullshit get you down. Find solace in the good. Don't complain too much. And try to enjoy life in whatever capacity you are able. Oh, and be honest, work hard, and eat Hot Dish.

So here it is, a song that describes me:

Side note-I just watched the official music video for the first time and it's all finger boarding! I can't escape skateboarding! What the hell?!?



"You"
by Atmosphere

You love the people that love you.
You hear the music they move to.
You give your ode to the fall through.
But you don't know you don't know you don't know you don't know.
You love the people that love you.
You hear the music they move to.
You give your ode to the fall through.
But you don't know you don't know you don't know you don't know you.

You just got off work, huh?
Another night feeling like the worst one.
You didn't even count your tips yet,
But you can tell that it ain't no big step.
I don't see why you so nice to customers
They're all fucks and low lives.
But don't fight, just keep the lip stiff
And get that money it's the weekend shift.
But why they all gotta be freaks.
Wish they would just eat and leave.
And keep they eyes to theyselves, already insecure, don't need any help.
But you can blame the pride that makes you hold your anger inside,
But deep down you wanna curse them all.
Fuck off asshole jerk off dirt ball.

You love the people that love you.
You hear the music they move to.
You give your ode to the fall through.
But you don't know you don't know you don't know you don't know.
You love the people that love you.
You hear the music they move to.
You give your ode to the fall through.
But you don't know you don't know you don't know you don't know you.

Now attitude check,
Still show up? You haven't quit yet?
And even when you're meek and sweet
They still treat you like a piece of meat. Huh.
Outrageous, each day this clock tick tock and you still a waitress.
Trying to pay them student loans
And the lights and the phone and the food and the home.
And you ain't quite broke but you couldn't afford that place on your own.
Gotta roommate, to split the rent with
Now you never feel independent.
And everything seems so hallow
Cause after work, where'd that smile go?
Better bring it back tomorrow.
Now, pick up the pace and you might make bar close.
Perfect, last call then some.
Flirtin', sexual tension.
Surfin', through them men
Cause they all searching for that bent one.
But just one to bend, and you look like you could be my friend.
With a smile like that, I gotta flirt.
Girl, you just look like you got off work.
Huh.. huh... huh...

You love the people that love you.
You hear the music they move to.
You give your ode to the fall through.
But you don't know you don't know you don't know you don't know.
You love the people that love you.
You hear the music they move to.
You give your ode to the fall through.
But you don't know you don't know you don't know you don't know you.
