Lyrics
I used to think that I would always sor of have it good,
I used to believe that life would always be favorable to me.
And never need to try too hard to waste as much time as I could.
I thought I wouldn't have to exert much effort and could waste time freely.
I'd never need to get a job, or have to earn a buch.
Initially, I thought I wouldn't need a job or earn much money.
Now I wish I could just quit it all.
Now, I wish I could quit everything, feeling unlucky.
I guess I'm shit out of luck.
Expressing a sense of misfortune or bad luck.
You could call me a loser 'cause I guess I never win,
Acknowledging a history of not succeeding, possibly self-deprecating.
But who ever's got my voodoo doll must be running out of pins.
Suggesting that the speaker's bad luck might be someone else's doing (voodoo doll).
I'll keep walking down the road, holding up my chin.
Determined to continue despite setbacks, maintaining self-respect.
I'm here for the duration because quitters never win.
Commitment to persisting because giving up leads to failure.
Back when I first met you I was hopeless and confused.
Reflecting on a past state of hopelessness and confusion.
I never cared too much about my knack for self-abuse.
Indifference towards self-destructive tendencies.
Sometimes I feel like climbing in to a hole that's six-foot deep.
Expressing a desire to escape from difficulties, contemplating self-isolation.
But why should I quit on myself?
Questioning the rationale behind quitting when others haven't given up on the speaker.
You never quit on me.
Gratitude for someone who has stayed supportive and not given up on the speaker.
You could call me a loser
Reiteration of being labeled a loser, emphasizing a pattern of not winning.
'cause I guess I never win,
Speculating on the diminishing effectiveness of negative influences (voodoo doll).
But who ever's got my voodoo doll must be running out of pins.
Despite setbacks, determined to maintain a positive attitude and self-esteem.
I'll keep walking down the road, holding up my chin.
Commitment to persisting because giving up leads to failure (repeated theme).
I'm here for the duration because quitters never win.
Reaffirming the idea that persistence is key to success.
Quitters never win.
Emphasizing the concept that those who quit are destined to lose.
