Bottom Line
Navigating Life's Missteps: Michael Lessard's Reflection in 'Bottom Line'
Lyrics
Oh, god, I fucked it up
Expressing regret and acknowledging a mistake or failure.
Isn't that just my luck
Reflecting on a streak of bad luck or unfortunate events.
How strange
Commenting on the unusual or peculiar nature of the situation.
Get by with just enough in hopes I won't get stuck
Surviving with the bare minimum, hoping to avoid getting trapped in difficulties.
How strange
Reiterating the strangeness or complexity of the circumstances.
So don't leave me waiting
Pleading not to be kept waiting, emphasizing the importance of time.
Just to save your bottom line
Highlighting the pressure to prioritize financial interests or the "bottom line."
I'll remain patient
Committing to patience despite challenges or delays.
Like I have for my whole life
Expressing a history of enduring challenges throughout life.
Oh, god, I fucked it up
Repeating the acknowledgment of a mistake, intensifying the regret.
Stupid is as stupid does they say
Referring to the saying "Stupid is as stupid does," admitting to foolish actions.
I mistook praise for love
Misinterpreting approval as genuine love or affection.
So proud of all I've done
Expressing pride in personal achievements, possibly with a touch of sarcasm.
Hooray
Celebrating accomplishments with a hint of irony or self-awareness.
So don't leave me waiting
Reiterating the plea not to be kept waiting for the sake of financial interests.
Just to save your bottom line
Emphasizing the importance of preserving the financial "bottom line."
Oh, and I'll remain patient
Committing to patience despite a sense of running out of time.
But I'm running out of time
Expressing a growing urgency or time constraint in remaining patient.
So don't leave me waiting
Repeating the plea not to be kept waiting, reinforcing the time-sensitive nature.
Just to save your bottom line
Reemphasizing the pressure to prioritize financial interests for self-preservation.
Oh, and I'll remain patient
Reiterating the commitment to patience, despite the perceived time pressure.
Like I have for my whole life
Recalling a lifelong history of enduring challenges with patience.
Oh, god, I fucked it up
Repeating the acknowledgment of a mistake, reinforcing the sense of regret.
Isn't that just my luck
Reiterating the belief that luck is not in one's favor.
How strange
Restating the challenge of getting by with the minimum to avoid being stuck.
Get by with just enough in hopes I won't get stuck
Expressing the hope of avoiding entanglement or difficulties with minimal resources.
How strange
Reiterating the strangeness or complexity of the overall situation.
