Lyrics

Life is a cruel mistress

Life is depicted as a harsh and unforgiving force.

Fortune only favors the bold

Success and good fortune favor those who take risks and act boldly.

And we die never knowing a purpose

Death occurs without understanding one's purpose in life.

The middle is worthless

The middle of life is portrayed as lacking value or significance.

And I'm fucking done with it

An expression of frustration and exhaustion with life's challenges.

Time moving on and on

Time progresses continuously.

And I had you there but now you're gone

Reflecting on a past relationship that has ended.

Faster and faster with time it seems

Time appears to be passing more quickly, emphasizing life's fleeting nature.

Everyone I love becomes a memory

Lamenting the inevitable loss of loved ones who become memories.

I feel impending doom

A sense of impending disaster or misfortune.

Bad luck, the timing is fucked

Bad luck and unfortunate timing contribute to a feeling of frustration.

I wonder, I wander and wonder

Contemplation and aimless wandering in search of direction.

Where do I go from here

Uncertainty about the next steps in life.

This back-and-forth won't do

Rejecting a cycle of indecision or hesitation.

Out of me and back into you

A desire to break free from a repetitive pattern and reconnect with someone.

I feel impending doom, bad luck

Reiteration of a sense of impending doom and bad luck.

Cant shake the feeling it's all ending soon

A persistent feeling that everything is coming to an end soon.

So we can't get too far ahead

A caution against getting too far ahead in anticipation of the future.

I can't help but feel like I'm better off dead

An expression of feeling that life might be better if it were over.

I'm better off dead, dead, dead

Reaffirmation of the sentiment that the speaker might be better off dead.

YEAH

An exclamation, possibly emphasizing a strong emotion or realization.

Swallowed by the nothing that comes for us

Being overwhelmed or consumed by a sense of nothingness that awaits everyone.

Decides our time

The inevitability of time determining the end of one's existence.
