As I know, Anesthetize will be full on DVD. I can't wait.

About Normal and Sentimental... Try to listen to both songs together, read lyrics and I guess you will find some similarities.
These songs compare live style of teenagers and old people. Both have same topic and melody is also same in some parts - part "kids stay"



Normal

Here is my car, my phone and my TV
I've got it all but you can see through me

But am I here?
It's kind of hard to tell I do a good impression of myself
But what's normal now anyhow?

Sullen and bored the kids stay
And in this way they wish away each day
Stoned in the mall the kids play
And in this way they wish away each day

Prescription drugs they help me through the day
And that restraining order keeps me well at bay
But what's normal now anyway?

Wish I was old and a little sentimental
You gotta see the waves, not the wine bottle



Sentimental

I never wanna be old
And I don't want dependents
It's no fun to be told
That you can't blame your parents anymore
I'm finding it hard to hang from a star
Don't wanna be I don't wanna be old

Sullen and bored the kids stay
And in this way they wish away each day
Stoned in the mall the kids play
And in this way they wish away each day

I don't really know
If I care what is normal
And I'm not really sure
If the pills I've been taking are helping
I'm wasting my life
Hurting inside
I don't really know
And I'm not really sure?..
