TV Song, the sixth track off Dan Warren’s 2008 album The Scientist, uses a metaphor of an old, broken television to represent the narrator’s sad, broken outlook on life.
[Verse 1]
The knob on the TV is broken
That's why it's always on
Every word ever spoken finds its way into a song
There are noises in the attic
It's probably water from the storm
Way down deep beneath the static, misty words begin to form
[Chorus]
Lately I've been feelin' a little busted up and dusty
Since the ceiling came crashing down, and I recall
The screamin' of a hundred angry people
I try to plug my ears, but I can't make it stop!
[Verse 2]
I'd like to think that when you're dying
You're gonna know what you should do
That's a lovely thought for thinking, but it probably isn't true
The tube on the TV has shattered
And I fear so has my soul
'Cause everything that ever mattered just got sucked into the hole
[Chorus]
Lately I've been feelin' a little busted up and dusty
Since the ceiling came crashing down, and I recall
The screamin' of a hundred angry people
I try to plug my ears, but I can't make it stop!
[Instrumental]
