Creatures(For A While): by 311

My name is volatile I’ve been this way a long while I’d surely like to rest But the energy gets the best of me Check it out It’s been a wild ride I wouldn’t change a minute I can’t slow down inside Guess that’s why I live it Watch it now The years of mischief Followed by weeks of thrift I land on earth’s hard face No legs could keep that pace And through the rest I sift Is there ever a time? When the state of sleeping willingly leaves my mind Highly frustrated wanna feel elated Come Monday morn you feel checkmated You can be uncool and become the rule Exceptions were made to drown I’m not used to it, you’d think I’d be by now The ins the outs the ups and the downs I wanna make a mess I wanna blow off stress I wanna stoke the fire Just creatures for a while I wanna make a mess I wanna blow off stress I wanna stoke the fire Just creatures, just creatures It comes and goes and comes and goes Sometimes I go a little crazy Sometimes I go a little crazy just like you I do I know what you were gonna say You were afraid to cause dismay Your lyrics switched around The mixture watered down And now a pointless display It’s something one won’t understand Unless they're in it with me hand in hand Don’t buy the fear don’t buy that my dear The things you love you must keep near and Carry on and you won’t feel withdrawn Even if you’re coming down Sometimes it’s wearable sometimes is bearable I careen towards balance til’ the glass is full I wanna make a mess I wanna blow off stress I wanna stoke the fire Just creatures for a while I wanna make a mess I wanna blow off stress I wanna stoke the fire Just creatures, just creatures It comes and goes and comes and goes Sometimes, sometimes I get a little out there Sometimes I go off Sometimes just like you Watch it now (whoo) I go a little crazy Sometimes I go a little crazy just like you I do Sometimes I go a little crazy Sometimes I go a little crazy just like you I do

The song talks about being a person with a normal life, and just getting fed up and raging and smashing on everyone. It protests the idea of holding up your emotions, the lyrics suggest just letting it all go.
