Lyrics
Not 'bout winning or losing
Not about the outcome of winning or losing
Or being confident
Not about having confidence
Not for smiling even crying
Not just for smiling or crying
Or 'bout sentiment
Not about sentimental feelings
Not 'bout richer or poorer
Not about wealth, whether rich or poor
Or being affluent
Not about affluence
Not 'bout sharp or even clever
Not about being sharp or clever
Or intelligent
Not about intelligence
Intelligent
Emphasizing intelligence
Don't really matter at all
None of these matters in the grand scheme
When a house of cards gonna fall
Metaphor: Life is fragile like a house of cards
Before you try again
Before attempting again, reassess
Turn around
Encouragement to turn around and reconsider
Turn around
Repetition: Turn around
Turn around
-Turn around
-Never 'bout being wrong
It's not about being right or wrong
Or ever right
Emphasizing the lack of importance of being right or wrong
Never a winner or loser
Not about being a winner or loser
Or acting outta sight
Not about acting impressively
Outta sight
Emphasizing being out of sight, not drawing attention
Don't really matter at all
None of these matters in the grand scheme
When a house of cards gonna fall
Metaphor: Life is fragile like a house of cards
Before you try again
Before attempting again, reassess
Turn around
Encouragement to turn around and reconsider
Turn around
Repetition: Turn around
Turn around
-Turn around
-Whether coming or going
Regardless of coming or going, uncertainty prevails
Never know what to do
Feeling lost without a clear direction
Never look for a reason
No need to search for reasons when breaking the rules
When you break the rules
Acceptance of rule-breaking without seeking justification
Before you try again
Before attempting again, reassess
Turn around
Encouragement to turn around and reconsider
Turn around
Repetition: Turn around
Turn around
-Turn around
-Before you try again
Before attempting again, reassess
Turn around
Encouragement to turn around and reconsider
