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”

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
