Double Life
Navigating the Maze: Unraveling the Double Life in Matthew Good's Lyrics
Lyrics
How now are you gone awry?
Questioning how things have deviated from the expected path.
How now are we back here tonight?
Reflecting on a return to a familiar situation or place.
That's all there is
Expressing a sense that the current situation is all there is.
Roll the dice
Metaphorically suggesting taking a chance or making a decision.
This is all there is
Reiteration that the present circumstances are the entirety of existence.
Roll the dice
Repeating the idea of taking a risk or making a choice.
How now baby is a little bit enough of it
Questioning if a small amount is sufficient when living a double life.
When you live a double life?
Pondering the adequacy of a minimal existence when leading a dual life.
How now are you going to bite both hands?
Asking how one can manage conflicting situations or relationships.
That's all there is
Reiteration of the notion that the current situation is all there is.
Roll the dice
Symbolizing the act of making a choice or taking a risk.
This is all there is
Emphasizing that the present circumstances encompass everything.
Roll the dice
Repeating the idea of taking a risk or making a choice.
How now baby is a little bit enough of it
Questioning the sufficiency of a small amount in the context of a double life.
When you live a double life?
Reflecting on the challenges of living a dual life.
Well I knew but I've forgotten
Acknowledging past knowledge that has been forgotten.
Because everyone keeps asking
Describing the repetition of inquiries from others.
How come they feel so terrible
Questioning why feeling terrible is prevalent despite being in fashion.
If terrible is in fashion
Highlighting the paradox of feeling terrible even when it's considered fashionable.
