Good For
Searching for Purpose: Elizabeth Hull's 'Good For' Reflects on Happiness and Self-Worth
Lyrics
Lost all track of the hour
Feeling disoriented and losing track of time.
Wasting time taking two or three showers in a row
Engaging in unproductive activities, possibly as a way to cope or escape.
Is that a man in the shadows
Noticing a mysterious figure in the background.
Is this a dream or a sign
Questioning whether current circumstances are real or hold significance.
I don't know
Expressing uncertainty and confusion.
Hear the laughter through my door
Hearing laughter from others, potentially feeling isolated.
I wouldn't worry about waking me up anymore
Not wanting others to be concerned about waking them up.
Leave a light in the hallway
Suggesting to keep a symbolic light on for guidance.
That's my key on the door
Identifying a personal key left at the door, signifying a connection.
So if you need me I will stay
Willingness to stay and support if needed.
But if you only want me
Stating readiness to leave if the presence is not genuinely wanted.
I must go away
Indicating a willingness to depart if not valued.
I've never seen you smile this much before
Observing an unusual amount of happiness in someone's demeanor.
If I don't make you happy
Raising the question of personal worth if unable to bring happiness.
What am I good for
Reflecting on the purpose and value in the context of relationships.
What am I good for
Reiterating the question of personal significance and purpose.
I used to write with a passion
Noticing a decline in passion and inspiration for writing.
But lately something's been lacking in my words
Feeling a lack in the depth or meaning of one's expressions.
I keep my friends at a distance
Maintaining emotional distance from friends to avoid causing harm.
And I used to think it was because
Reflecting on past reasons for keeping others at a distance.
I didn't want them to get hurt
Concern for protecting others from potential hurt.
Haven't I had enough
Questioning if personal trials have been sufficient.
But go ahead and wake me up
Encouraging others to wake them up despite personal struggles.
Wake me up
Repeating the plea to be awakened despite inner conflicts.
If you need me I will stay
Reiterating the offer to stay and provide support if needed.
But if you only want me
Restating the willingness to leave if not genuinely wanted.
I must go away
Reaffirming the option to depart if not valued.
I've never seen you smile this much before
Observing an unusual amount of happiness in someone's demeanor.
If I don't make you happy
Raising the question of personal worth if unable to bring happiness.
What am I good for
Reflecting on the purpose and value in the context of relationships.
What am I good for
Reiterating the question of personal significance and purpose.
What am I good for
Repeating the question of personal worth and significance.
If you need me I will stay
Reiterating the offer to stay and provide support if needed.
But if you only want me
Restating the willingness to leave if not genuinely wanted.
I must go away
Reaffirming the option to depart if not valued.
I've never seen you smile this much before
Observing an unusual amount of happiness in someone's demeanor.
If I don't make you happy
Raising the question of personal worth if unable to bring happiness.
What am I good for
Reflecting on the purpose and value in the context of relationships.
Am I enough
Pondering self-worth and questioning if it is sufficient.
Am I enough
Repeating the question of personal worth and sufficiency.
Am I enough
-Am I enough
-Leave a light in the hallway
Suggesting to keep a symbolic light on for guidance.
That's my key on the door
Identifying a personal key left at the door, signifying a connection.
