Thanks For Nothing
Thanks for Nothing: Resilience in the Face of Betrayal
Lyrics
Here's to all the lost years wasted in your absence
Reflecting on wasted years during your absence.
Slowly fading are the good days
The positive moments are slowly diminishing.
As I feel your dagger coming in
Sensing betrayal as a metaphorical dagger approaches.
Nowhere near from all the promises we once made
Distance from unfulfilled promises made in the past.
We just parted on the way
Separation with no chance of reconciliation.
And we're never going back
Irreversibility of the decision to move forward.
We're playing with fire at the wrong time
Engaging in risky behavior at an inopportune moment.
Putting my life on the front line
Putting oneself in a dangerous position.
I carry the weight of the world while you wait for blood
Bearing a heavy burden while awaiting harm.
Just wish you would fall asleep forever now
Expressing a desire for the other person's eternal rest.
If you want me to feel sorry
Challenging the expectation to feel remorse.
Well I'm not sorry
Declaring a lack of remorse.
Not for shit
Emphasizing a complete lack of regret.
If you want me to feel sorry
Reiterating the absence of remorse.
Well I'm not sorry
Reaffirming the lack of sorrow.
I never really cared
Indifference to the situation and the other person.
It might be over now but I'm not dead
Surviving the ordeal, not succumbing to death.
So thanks for nothing
Expressing gratitude for receiving nothing.
Do you feel the barrel staring in your own face
Asking if the other person feels imminent danger.
Down and out is where you should stay
Suggesting that staying down and out is appropriate.
You wouldn't need me anyway
Asserting independence, implying not needing the other.
So gather round the dead and find yourself a grave
Encouraging acceptance of demise and finding peace.
No I don't care if you throw your life away
Disregarding consequences if the other throws life away.
Cause I'm never coming back
Confirming a permanent departure.
I felt in your trap for the last time
Falling into a trap set by the other for the final time.
Sorry you fought on the wrong side
Expressing regret for being on the wrong side.
Turning away from the storm while you wait for blood
Turning away from a crisis while anticipating harm.
Just wish you would fall asleep forever now
Repeating the desire for the other's eternal rest.
If you want me to feel sorry
Declining to feel sorry as requested.
Well I'm not sorry
Reaffirming the absence of remorse.
Not for shit
Emphasizing the lack of regret for the situation.
If you want me to feel sorry
Rejecting the expectation to feel sorry.
Well I'm not sorry
Stating the absence of sorrow once again.
Not for shit
Affirming the lack of remorse or regret.
I never really cared
Reiterating indifference to the other person.
It might be over now but I'm not dead
Surviving despite the current situation.
So thanks for nothing
Expressing gratitude for receiving nothing (repeated).
If you want me to feel sorry
Reiterating the refusal to feel sorry as requested.
Well I'm not sorry
Declaring a lack of remorse or regret once more.
Not for shit
Emphasizing the absence of sorrow for the situation (repeated).
If you want me to feel sorry
Rejecting the expectation to feel sorry (repeated).
Well I'm not sorry
Affirming the continued lack of sorrow.
I never really cared
Reiterating a general lack of caring.
I never really cared
Affirming once more the lack of genuine concern.
I never really cared
Further confirming the indifference expressed throughout.
I never really cared
Continuing to emphasize a lack of genuine concern (repeated).
