Things aren't so bad
Navigating Life's Turmoil: Great Lumbering Beast's Reflections
Lyrics
Things aren't cool here anymore Feels like we've seen this place 1000 times before
Expresses dissatisfaction with the current situation, feeling of repetition and staleness.
And now we're stuck but it's ok Sometimes you gotta move and now we gotta wait
Feeling trapped but accepting the need to wait for change.
And I'm thinking once again Should we leave this place or stay here and pretend
Contemplating whether to stay and pretend everything is fine or leave the situation.
I know that I don't wanna leave But one day everything will just be memories to me
Reluctant to leave as memories are attached, but aware that everything will eventually become memories.
Things aren't so cool here anymore
Reiteration of dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs.
Things are not so bad but are they getting worse?
Questioning if things are worsening despite not being extremely bad initially.
There's nothing I need that I don't have but my heart is filled with hurt
Despite having what's needed materially, there's emotional pain or discontent.
And I don't mean to scare you off I swear I'll try my best stop
Apologizing for unintentionally causing discomfort or concern to someone.
Hey wait you left your soda pop When you sped off
Referencing a small, inconsequential item left behind, possibly indicating an abrupt departure.
Think I need a cigarette Sometimes I still dream of it but wish I could forget
Desiring to escape or forget certain memories, perhaps through smoking or other means.
Been a long long time, Think I'm getting over it and now I might be fine
Implying progress in overcoming something difficult, feeling like healing is underway.
Been going back to my old ways Good things always come but never often stay
Acknowledging a return to past habits despite the occasional arrival of positive things.
Can't really say that I don't know Used to try to call me on your flip phone not so long ago
Recalling a past form of communication (flip phone) indicating a specific timeframe in the past.
Things aren't so cool here anymore
Reiterating dissatisfaction or a sense of change for the worse in the current circumstances.
Things are not so bad but are they getting worse?
Repeating the question about a potential decline in the situation despite not being entirely bad.
There's nothing I need that I don't have but my heart is filled with hurt
Expressing emotional pain despite possessing everything materially.
And I don't mean to scare you off I swear I'll try my best stop
Repeating the apology for possibly causing discomfort to someone unintentionally.
Hey wait you left your soda pop When you sped off
Repeating the mention of an inconsequential item left behind during a departure.
Things aren't so cool here anymore
Reiteration of dissatisfaction or a sense of deterioration in the current situation.
Things are not so bad but are they getting worse?
Repeating the question about potential worsening despite not being extremely bad at the start.
There's nothing I need that I don't have but my heart is filled with hurt
Reiterating emotional pain despite material possessions.
And I don't mean to scare you off I swear I'll try my best stop
Repeating the apology for unintentionally causing discomfort or concern to someone.
Hey wait you left your soda pop When you sped off
Repeating the mention of an inconsequential item left behind during a departure.
Things are not so bad but are they getting worse?
Reiterating the question about potential deterioration despite not being extremely bad initially.
There's nothing I need that I don't have but my heart is filled with hurt
Repeating emotional pain despite having material possessions.
And I don't mean to scare you off I swear I'll try my best stop
Repeating the apology for unintentionally causing discomfort or concern to someone.
Hey wait you left your soda pop when you sped off
Reiterating the mention of an inconsequential item left behind during a departure.
