strained

fading like a vowel
would you wanna dive with me
you won't regret and if you sing
please yourself while it's still free
and
oh I think I'm in trouble again
oh I think I'm in trouble again
oh I think I'm in trouble again
I think I'm in trouble

drink your beer while no one's watching
afraid of knowing solitee
a cool aid while not follow
and I know a girl that swallows seed

oh I think I'm in trouble again
oh I think I'm in trouble again
oh I think I'm in trouble again
I think I'm in trouble

this songs about a singing friend
who doesn't know wich way to bend
he sings he sings his life away
and he cannot carry a tune

oh I think I'm in trouble again
oh I think I'm in trouble again
oh I think I'm in trouble again
I think I'm in trouble

stress strain (X6)

I really didn't get what the song meant..

it's about a friend of mine, who claims to be a singer. I have known him for a long time and now he's kinda dissapearing (fading like a vowel) like a vowel, I used the vowel to refer to his singing. he asked me to play a show with him on my guitar(would you want to dive with me) but that's a risky job because he can't sing, that's why I used dive. please yourself while it's still free is related to the fact that he can't get girls easily and he always complains about money.
the chorus refers to how I feel when he askes me what I think about him, and his singing.

I like the first verse best.

solitee - is there such a word? Do you mean 'solitary'. Well, you may invent new terms, of course.

and I know a girl that swallows seed - if you mean what I think you mean 'seed' is the wrong term (it only applies to plants)

this songs about a singing friend
who doesn't know wich way to bend
he sings he sings his life away
and he cannot carry a tune

I don't think it is a good idea to place the interpretation or explanation of the song within the song. Also, the change from 'you' to 'him' is not exactly elegant. I would recommend leaving it at 'you': e.g. "so, now you, my singing friend don't know ... you sing, you sing your life away ...". Possibly, you should work on this verse anyway.

Keep going!

Cheers,
Bernd

yes I used the word seeds as a wordplay on semen, and yes solitee is extracted from solitude I just liked the sound of it
