Good 4 Nothin'
Breaking Free: Unveiling the True Colors of Deception
Lyrics
Always walking around like you're so cool
Expressing the subject's demeanor of confidence or arrogance.
And I must admit even you had me fooled
The subject's behavior was deceptive, fooling the speaker.
One year later on I wonder why
Reflecting on the passage of time and questioning the situation.
It's taken me this long
Expressing surprise or regret at the time it took to reach a decision.
Just for me to say goodbye
Finally deciding to say goodbye after a prolonged period.
I know it's a dirty job
Acknowledging a difficult task that needs to be done.
But someone's got to do it but maybe
Suggesting the responsibility is necessary but questioning its recipient.
You're so thick in that head of yours
Implying a lack of receptivity or understanding in the person being addressed.
That nothin' will ever get through it baby
Highlighting the person's stubbornness or resistance to change.
You're so good 4 nothin'
Labeling the person as good for nothing.
You better get better at doing somethin'
Encouraging improvement or competence in the individual.
You ain't done a damn thing lately
Pointing out the lack of recent accomplishments or efforts.
You couldn't even drive me crazy
Asserting that the person couldn't even affect the speaker emotionally.
Don't make a difference if I shout it
Stating that expressing frustration or anger has no impact.
So sad I laugh about it
Turning a serious situation into something to laugh about due to its futility.
It's so bad that baby you're so good
Ironically describing the person as exceptionally good at being worthless.
You're good 4 nothin'
Reiterating the sentiment that the person is good for nothing.
Now I don't mean to over critisize
Clarifying the intention not to excessively criticize.
But I've had better conversations with someone lobotomized
Comparing the quality of conversations unfavorably.
And I'm not sayin' I've done nothin' wrong
Acknowledging a shared responsibility for past mistakes.
It takes two to make just one mistake
Emphasizing that mistakes require the involvement of both parties.
And now I'm movin' on
Deciding to move forward and leave the past behind.
I know what you're all about
Claiming to understand the person's true nature.
And it ain't much I'm sorry baby
Expressing limited remorse or sympathy for the person.
I'm just goin' somewhere else
Choosing to go elsewhere, away from the person.
There's no place left where you can take me
Asserting that there is no place the person can take the speaker.
You're so good 4 nothin'
Reiterating the belief that the person is good for nothing.
You better get better at doing somethin'
Encouraging the person to develop some useful skills or qualities.
You ain't done a damn thing lately
Pointing out the lack of recent accomplishments or efforts (repeated).
You couldn't even drive me crazy
Emphasizing that the person couldn't even affect the speaker emotionally (repeated).
Don't make a difference if I shout it
Stating that expressing frustration or anger has no impact (repeated).
So sad I laugh about it
Turning a serious situation into something to laugh about due to its futility (repeated).
