this might be just my own head talking, but to me, this sounds like a song about the Up phase of a person with bipolar disorder.

At least, that's how I relate it to me......

"sunshine been keepin' me up for days" - but in the silent background, another force of nature stirs - destruction. And sometimes, you know it.

Hard to explain I guess.

you whas the the best,is so fuckt up that you are i hope you find you,r peace wherever you are my friend we miss you so very much all my love to you.peace

You might be right there Starving but I always took it in a slightly more litterary feel, like drugs or alcohol, you know 'keeping me up for days' 'There is no nightime, only a passing fase'! We've all been there if we like this video, even if we're not junkies!

@spartandx

You know what? I think you're right. Keep the sunshine for "another hour or two" does it for me.

[spartandx]

to me is about drugs and how you feel ugly inside and out before you take them, then when you take them you feel perfect like the sun is out even though is night and you can't sleep

i hope your in peace elliot

@navarino94 so true

[NorthWriter]

I love the guitar solo here.  It's so jangly and beautiful.

[boxnacage18]

@StarvingForTruth nah I think I hear what you're saying.

I watched a documentary on Cobain today, he wasn't half the artist Elliott was, yet he had a documentary made about him. Wheres Elliott's documentary? I wanna see that fuckin movie.
