College: As Told by Cage the Elephant

Relatable Lyrics

32
College: As Told by Cage the Elephant
Deezer

1. When you go out on a weekday and have an 8:30 A.M. the next day

“You say that I’m insane, I say you’re probably right.” -“Cry Baby”

2. When you have a paper to write, 60 pages to read, and a group project all due the next day.

“Right before my eyes I saw the whole world lose control, the whole world lost control, before my eyes” -“Right Before My Eyes”

3. When you thought you knew everything on an exam, but you failed

“Everything I thought I knew fell to the side” -“Right Before My Eyes”

4. When a frat boy plays mind games with you and breaks your heart

“I don’t think it’s very nice to walk around my head all night” -“Around my head”

5. When your professor asks if you did the homework and you have to lie

“Spoke a lot of words, I don’t know if I spoke the truth” -“Trouble”

6. When your handing in your midterm and questioning whether you’ll pass the test

“We will come to pass, will I pass the test?” -“Trouble”

7. When you check your bank account and have a negative balance

“Money don’t go on trees. I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed. There ain’t nothing in this world for free” -"Ain't No Rest for the Wicked"

8. When you wake up laying on the bathroom floor after a long night out

“Softly laying on the ground” -“Shake Me Down”

9. When you watch Netflix instead of studying and realize hours have gone by

“Time is like a leaf in the wind, either it’s time worth spent or time I’ve wasted” -“Telescope”

10. When it’s just one of those days where you don’t want to deal with anyone, or any of your classes

“He locks his door and never leaves” -“Telescope”

11. When you go to the health center because you feel like you’re on your deathbed

“Doctor can you help me ‘cause I don’t feel right” -“Cold cold cold”

12. When you’re trying to memorize flashcards but just can’t seem to remember anything

“I’ve been trying real hard to realize, but some things take a long, long, long, long time” -“Aberdeen”

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
