No Meaning - Juliana Hatfield

If you could see what’s inside my head

You’d be disappointed

I’m just concentrating on not falling down

And not saying anything stupid

Oh why do you do it

Look under the surface

Try to find some kind of meaning

Reason or purpose

The nameplate necklace around my neck

Bears the name of somebody I’ve never met

A name I pulled out of an unreadable book

It’s purely phonetic

Oh why do you do it

Look under the surface

Try to find some kind of meaning

Reason or purpose

My leaking eyes are caused by the wind

It’s a physical condition

Oh why do you do it

Look under the surface

Try to find some kind of meaning

Reason or purpose

The world is sick and in my head

I’m just counting steps or letters in a name

From one to eleven and back again

Trying to get to a place

Where thought has been erased

By ritual systems
