Lyrics
Tell me how bad the news is
Talking about receiving unpleasant news
Tell me I lost my fucking job
Expressing the fear of losing employment
Tell me the world is gonna end
Conveying anxiety about the possible end of the world
Tell me that I'm the one you don't want
Feeling rejected or unwanted by someone
Oh lord, not again
Expressing a sense of despair or frustration
Oh lord, not again
Repetition emphasizing the recurrence of distressing situations
I'm so close, I can taste suicide
Describing a feeling of being on the brink of self-harm
Someday I wish I could decide
Expressing a desire for control or decision-making power
Right now it's fucking obvious
Stating the obviousness of current difficulties
I'll go to sleep, never wake up again
Expressing a desire for escape through eternal sleep
Not again
Reiteration of the distressing situation
Oh lord, not again
Repetition of the plea for relief
And I'll wash and comb my hair that day
Planning to attend to personal grooming on a significant day
I'll wear my freshest clothes that day
Preparing to wear the best clothes for the occasion
And I'll keep my scarf right next to me
Keeping a symbolic item close, possibly for comfort
No other way that I can see
Expressing a limited perspective or lack of alternatives
Not again
Reiteration of distress and despair
Oh lord, not again
Repeated plea for reprieve from difficult circumstances
Tell me how bad the news is
Repetition of the initial request for information
Tell me I lost my fucking job
Reiterating the fear of losing employment
Tell me the world is gonna end
Repeating the anxiety about the end of the world
Tell me that I'm the one you don't want
Repeating the feeling of being unwanted
Oh lord, not again
Expressing continued distress and hopelessness
Oh lord, not again
Emphasizing the recurrence of distressing situations
And I'll wash and comb my hair that day
Reiteration of grooming plans for the significant day
I'll wear my freshest clothes that day
Repetition of preparations for the significant day
And I'll keep my scarf right next to me
Reiteration of keeping a symbolic item for comfort
No other way that I can see
Reaffirmation of a perceived lack of alternatives
Not again
Repetition of the sense of despair and hopelessness
Oh lord, not again
Reiterating the plea for relief from difficult circumstances
Not Again
Final reiteration of distress and a plea for reprieve
