Utopia's Shit
Ephemeral Echoes: Unveiling Life's Contradictions in Donnie Doolittle's 'Utopia's Shit'
Lyrics
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing is permanent or eternal.
Things don't hold together
Things tend to fall apart or disintegrate.
The younger we get
As we grow younger or less experienced.
The future don't quit
The future doesn’t cease or stop.
And we don't have to wait for never
There's no need to wait indefinitely.
No we can't be friends
We cannot become friends.
And yes I probably will
The speaker will likely comply.
These are things i know
These statements are the speaker's knowledge.
Better than you still
The speaker knows these things more than the listener.
I know you're not alone
The listener is not alone in a situation.
But guess who's had his fill
The speaker has had enough or is fed up.
Life's not meant for living
Life isn't necessarily fulfilling or enjoyable.
You give and then misgiving
There's giving followed by doubt or mistrust.
Utopia's shit
Utopia or perfect society is worthless or unattainable.
And nothing don't quit
Nothing remains static or unchanged.
And all that's left is time for sinning
Only time is left for indulging in wrongdoing.
No we can't be friends
We cannot establish a friendship.
And yes i probably will
The speaker might still conform to it.
These are things i know
These are facts known to the speaker more than the listener.
Better than you still
The speaker is more knowledgeable about these things.
I know you're not alone
The listener has company but the speaker is done with it.
But guess who's had his fill
(Empty line)
Deeds don't die
Greetings and farewells; a cycle of hellos and goodbyes.
Hello, goodbye
Dogs have dreams, but males suppress emotional expression.
Dogs do dream
It's time to conclude or finish this situation today.
But boys don't cry
(Empty line)
Let's end this thing
We cannot develop a friendship.
Tonight
The speaker might comply once again.
No we can't be friends
The listener has some support, but the speaker is done with it.
And yes I probably will
(Empty line)
These are things i know
The consequences of actions persist.
Better than you still
A cycle of hello and goodbye remains.
I know you're not alone
Canines dream, but men suppress emotions.
But guess who's had his fill
It's time to put an end to this situation today.
