No Picture chava Rhythm Player	#3 by chava at Oct 5, 1974 at 8:42 PM EST
	I am not sure of the meaning of this song but lyrically the last verse is fantastic. This song remind anyone else of smashing pumpkins? the riff and the vocals particularly.

No Picture ===Mr. Brownsto Rhythm Player	#4 by ===Mr. Brownstone=== at Feb 22, 1981 at 9:33 PM EST
	This song is like, "yeah, everyone feels down, dont let it get you down. Get over it." Or at least, thats what i;ve been trying to tell myself...

No Picture shareef Average	#5 by shareef turner at Sep 11, 1981 at 5:43 AM EST
	agreeing> tongue in cheek... but also Shine the headlight, straight into my eyes. Like the roadkill, I'm paralysed. I was thinking this could be the oncoming lights of adulthood.

No Picture Jase Wanna Be	#6 by Jase Dunn at Nov 14, 1985 at 9:58 AM EST
	:'( favourite song. its true. We don't flourish, we decay, we are not getting any younger. poor old needle-favourite waste of time. this song is so sad:'(

No Picture Ålex Jones™ Wanna Be	#7 by Ålex Jones™ at Jan 15, 1986 at 10:24 PM EST
	^ bit obscure, either that or i just never heard the expression "oncoming lights of adulthood" o.O i always thought it's more like "deer in the headlights", the rest of the world is moving too fast and you're going to be run over. angsteh.

No Picture Smellson Wanna Be	#8 by Smellson at May 5, 1988 at 7:01 PM EST
	I heard a piano version of this song and it was so beautiful! I would love to find it but I have had no luck. If anyone knows where I can buy or download it can you please email me at marama72@hotmail.com Thanks

No Picture Chris Frickin L Average	#9 by Chris Frickin LaBenne! LaBenne at Nov 3, 1990 at 11:27 PM EST
	this song makes me cry

No Picture Tyler Average	#10 by Tyler Ruli at Oct 6, 1991 at 2:55 AM EST
	Yeah, I agree with vrai and Strange Child. It's funny because a lot of people dismiss placebo as very angsty, but a lot of the time it's just ironic. Brian has also said that a had a sort of "second adolescence" in his twenties, so it's like he's laughing at the angst from the inside, rather than looking at it from the outside.

No Picture Lucifer Average	#11 by Lucifer at Oct 6, 1999 at 11:45 PM EST
	I know it has nothing to do with the meaning of the song But i had just turned on my iPod in the car and it was playing the opening lyrics as someone crashed into me. True. This happend last night.

No Picture Iron Average	#12 by Iron at Jun 6, 2002 at 12:11 AM EST
	I'd have to agree with vrai, I mean if something has a title with as pretentious a word as 'angst' in it, its bound to be a bit sarky. There are plenty of songs that seem to very accurately capture the stereotypical psych of the teenager and seems to half agree and half laugh along. I love this song ^_^

No Picture jimmy Lead Player	#13 by jimmy matthews at May 5, 2003 at 8:14 AM EST
	Brian Molko is a sexy beast! anywhore, i thought the line -'Airs and social graces' was actually 'anti social braces' which sort of fits and could mean fixing their anti socialism...That was before i looked up the lyrics. im still a teenager at 14 and everytime i get frustrated or angry i think of this song and it fits pretty well.
