MxPx - Doing Time (Between This World and the Next)

Details

Description

In this song, I equate growing up and navigating school and social life to doing hard time in prison. It can feel like you’re trapped in a prison at times, but really, it’s about seeing the bright side and the positive perspective and using the hard times we face as fuel for the next challenge, always waiting around the bend.

The verses are peppered with these oddball awkward experiences I had as a kid. New experiences and feelings were always fuel for lyrics like in this song and others I’ve written. These experiences, like having tons of fun and falling in love, but also feeling anti-social, feeling anxiety for no real reason, rebellion, questioning authority and the norms, drinking tequila with a worm for the first time, getting peed on twice in 24 hours, staying up past my bedtime and writing songs like, Doing Time.

ENJOY!

Lyrics:
Doing Time

I remember times I had
Some were happy, some were sad
Memories, me and my partners in crime
Throwing up a thousand times

I got through it, I feel fine
I went to school and I did my time
In a sense I'm out in a sense I'm free
To do what I want to be

Fun was cartoons Saturdays
Fun was staying up past eight
Lame was trying to fit in
Lame was the wrong crowd let me in

I got through it, I feel fine
I went to school and did my time
In a sense I'm out in a sense I'm free
To do what I want to be

Yeah you gotta stick together
With who you are, and who you know
You gotta remember
Where you've been and where you wanna go

I never did homework after school
Did all the things I thought were cool
Went out every Friday night
I still do and I'm alright
