Re-do

Modern Baseball's song 'Re-do' delves into the desire for a fresh start and the internal battles that come with it. The opening lines express a longing to erase past mistakes and replace them with a sense of innocence. This desire for a 'complete re-do' and even changing one's name signifies a deep yearning to escape from the burdens of past decisions and the voices of regret that haunt the narrator. The mention of 'pissing away our time' and 'pissing away these beers' highlights the futility and self-destructive tendencies that often accompany such feelings of regret and dissatisfaction.

The song also touches on the inevitability of time and the collision of dreams with reality. The narrator's attempt to 'forget that your bones will dismantle' and the acknowledgment that dreams will 'collide with time' reflect a struggle with the passage of time and the harsh realities that come with it. The phrase 'unrequited love for life' suggests a deep-seated passion and longing for a fulfilling life that seems perpetually out of reach. This unfulfilled desire leads to overthinking and anxiety, particularly about the future, which 'freaks out' the narrator.

Despite the bleak outlook, there is a glimmer of hope in the narrator's love for simple pleasures like watching movies and spending time with loved ones. However, this is juxtaposed with the fear that these small joys may not be enough to counterbalance the overwhelming dread of the future. The repeated refrain of 'try to forget' underscores the ongoing struggle to find peace and contentment amidst the chaos of life. Ultimately, 'Re-do' captures the universal human experience of grappling with regret, the passage of time, and the search for meaning and happiness in an uncertain world.
