Counting Crows - Round Here

Step out the front door like a ghost
Into the fog where no one notices
The contrast of white on white.
And in between the moon and you
The angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.
I walk in the air between the rain
Through myself and back again
Where? I don't know
Maria says she's dying
Through the door I hear her crying
Why? I don't know
Round here we always stand up straight
Round here something radiates
Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
And she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
Just like she's walking on a wire in the circus
She parks her car outside of my house
Takes her clothes off
Says she's close to understanding Jesus
She knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous
Round here we're carving out our names
Round here we all look the same
Round here we talk just like lions
But we sacrifice like lambs
Round here she's slipping through my hands
Sleeping children better run like the wind
out of the lightning dream
Mama's little baby better get herself in
out of the lightning
She says "it's only in my head"
She says "Shhhhh I know it's only in my head"
But the girl on the car in the parking lot
Says "Man you should try to take a shot
Can't you see my walls are crumbling?"
Then she looks up at the building
Says she's thinking of jumping
She says she's tired of life
She must be tired of something
Round here she's always on my mind
Round here hey man got lots of time
Round here we're never sent to bed early
and nobody makes us wait
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late
I can't see nothing.. nothing round here
Will you catch if I'm falling
Will you catch me if I'm falling
Will you catch me cause I'm falling down on you
I said I'm under the gun around here
I'm innocent I'm under the gun around here
And I can't see nothing
Nothing round here

Heres how I interpret this song: I'm living in a town where everyone is the same. Individuality isn't the right way. Trying to be my own person is driving me insane, and I feel like "I'm under the gun around here." Me expressing my emotions openly is frowned upon, and I'm "thinking of jumping" which, to me, is killing my uniqueness, falling in line with everyone else here. I wish someone else could see my pain. Just my two cents if you dont like it... screw yourself.. nah jk

"She parks her car outside of my house. Takes her clothes off. Said she close to understanding Jesus." ...something so strong and relatable about this part but i dont know why. I love it.

[adewitt149]

Reminds me of my mentally ill mother when she is sick

[MrRiley1511]

I love this song. I remeber laying in my dorm room in 1995 at 2am listining to this song when I couldn't sleep. Things sure haven't changed much in 17years

[Yoshimatey]

The beginning guitar on this song is IDENTICAL to the Diary of Jane.

My dad died this year....everytime i hear this song i think of his accidental suicidal because he loved this song, i can't help thinking if he listened to this song and then decided- it's time. :'(

[TheJinkil]

[AccurateMistake]

This song has made me cry ever since I heard it somewhere when I was little and I don't know why. :
