Lyrics
There I was completely wasting, out of work and down
Expressing a sense of aimlessness and frustration while being unemployed.
All inside it's so frustrating as I drift from town to town
Describing the feeling of frustration and restlessness while moving from place to place.
Feel as though nobody cares if I live or die
Conveying a sense of loneliness and the perception that nobody cares about the person's well-being.
So I might as well begin to put some action in my life
Deciding to take action in life, possibly through unconventional means, due to the perceived lack of purpose.

-So much for the golden future, I can't even start
Expressing disappointment in the unfulfilled expectations of a better future.
I've had every promise broken, there's anger in my heart
Feeling anger and betrayal due to broken promises in life.
You don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue
Asserting that others cannot understand the personal struggles and challenges faced.
If you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too
