All for Nothing
Bittersweet Goodbye: Emotions Unveiled in 'All for Nothing'
Lyrics
Open your eyes, what have you done?
Expressing disbelief or dismay at one's actions or consequences.
I've been back, forth stuck yet spun
Feeling stuck in a cycle of back-and-forth motions, unable to break free.
Too keyed to lie still, too tired to run
Feeling restless and unable to stay still, yet lacking the energy to escape.
I can't believe it's come to this
Expressing disbelief at the current situation.
It's safe to say that ignorance is bliss
Suggesting that not knowing the truth or reality can be comforting.
Bittersweet goodbye and one last kiss
Describing a conflicted departure with mixed emotions.
Forever is a long time that I won't miss
Rejecting the idea of an enduring, painful experience.
Too tired to run it's getting late
Feeling too exhausted to escape the situation.
Make up your mind
Urging a decision to be made.
I was never your kind
Realizing a fundamental incompatibility.
This is gonna hurt me black 'n' blue
Expecting emotional pain.
But don't you think that no one measures up to you
Acknowledging the inability of others to match up to a certain standard.
I cant believe it's come to this
Reiterating disbelief at the situation.
It's safe to say that ignorance is bliss
Reaffirming the comforting nature of ignorance.
Bittersweet goodbye and one last kiss
Revisiting the conflicted departure and final gesture.
Forever is a long time I won't miss
Rejecting the idea of enduring an unpleasant situation indefinitely.
Feel the hate we're breeding
Highlighting the negative emotions being cultivated.
Fear the lives we're leading
Expressing fear regarding the direction of one's life.
Cry while you watch me bleeding
Describing emotional pain felt by the speaker.
The blood I have been spilling
Referencing the violence or harm caused by the speaker.
Love we keep on killing
Commenting on the destruction of love or positive emotions.
Was supposed to be for something
Expressing a belief that actions were meant for a purpose.
Guess it was all for nothing
Realizing that efforts and actions might have been futile.
I cant believe it's come to this
Reiterating disbelief at the situation.
It's safe to say ignorance is bliss
Reaffirming the comforting nature of ignorance.
Bittersweet goodbye and one last kiss
Revisiting the conflicted departure and final gesture.
Do you feel the hate we're breeding
Asking if the listener comprehends the negative emotions being fostered.
Fear the lives we're leading
Expressing fear regarding the direction of one's life.
Cry while you watch me bleeding
Describing emotional pain felt by the speaker.
Cry while you watch me bleeding
Reiterating emotional distress being observed.
