Lyrics
Well I ain't got much to show for
Expressing a lack of tangible achievements or possessions.
Can you guess the reasons why
Prompting the listener to speculate on the reasons behind the situation.
'Cause we gave responsibility
Referring to the delegation of responsibility to others.
To those who let it pass us by
Expressing a sense of missed opportunities or negligence by those entrusted.
Now your words don't mean that much to me
Diminishing the significance of someone's words due to perceived betrayal.
Got to get you off my back
Expressing a need to free oneself from someone's influence or control.
I feel this weight upon my shoulders
Feeling burdened by a responsibility that was unexpected and challenging.
That never thought would bring me down
Reflecting on a weight that was not anticipated and is causing distress.
I got this feeling I've been sold out and used
Perceiving a sense of betrayal and manipulation in personal relationships.
And I must make some changes in my life
Acknowledging the need for changes in response to feeling deceived or taken advantage of.
'Cause I refuse to let people walk on me
Asserting the refusal to be mistreated or walked upon by others.
I got this feeling I've been sold out and used
Reiterating the emotional impact of feeling betrayed and manipulated.
And I must make some changes in my life
Reaffirming the commitment to making positive changes in one's life.
'Cause I refuse to let it be
Emphasizing the determination to resist being victimized or mistreated.
All the actions that I didn't take
Acknowledging past inaction and expressing the intention to rectify life choices.
Gonna try to put my life in place
Committing to organizing and improving one's life situation.
We know that actions speak much louder
Highlighting the importance of actions over words and the value of learning from mistakes.
And we learn from our mistakes this time
Stressing the significance of learning from previous errors or misjudgments.
And it isn't very comforting
Expressing discomfort with the ease at which others can continue without consequences.
To know that you can carry on so free
Commenting on the unsettling realization that some individuals can move forward without consequences.
Got to get us off this one-way ride
Expressing the urgency to divert from a destructive path in life.
Before our lives just pass us by
Recognizing the need to take action before life opportunities are lost.
I got this feeling I've been sold out and used
Repeating the feeling of being betrayed and used, emphasizing its persistence.
And I must make some changes in my life
Reiterating the commitment to making necessary life changes.
'Cause I refuse to let people walk on me
Affirming the refusal to be a passive victim of mistreatment by others.
I got this feeling I've been sold out and used
Reiterating the emotional impact of feeling betrayed and manipulated.
And I must make some changes in my life
Stressing the commitment to positive changes in response to betrayal.
'Cause I refuse to let it be
Emphasizing the determination to resist being victimized or mistreated.
Why don't you tell me
Pleading for guidance or advice on what actions to take and words to say.
What I have to do and what to say
Questioning why someone doesn't take the initiative given their presumed superior knowledge.
Why don't you do it
Challenging someone to take action since they claim to know better.
'cause you know it better anyway
Highlighting frustration with someone's perceived arrogance or superior knowledge.
I'm sick and tired of the games
Expressing weariness and frustration with recurring manipulative behaviors.
You always seem to play
Conveying a desire for someone causing distress to distance themselves.
Just go away, just go away from me
Requesting the person causing frustration to leave and disassociate from the speaker.
