Lyrics
What if we went back and told ourselves not to take this path
Reflecting on the possibility of advising past selves to avoid the current life path.
We could have free will and break the chains on the pain we feel
Contemplating the potential for free will and breaking away from emotional pain.
And every now and again we might look back on what could've been
Nostalgically considering alternate paths and what might have been.
Fortune, fame and the like
Desire for success, recognition, and similar aspirations.
Something to tell ourselves at the end of the night
Using achievements as a form of self-reassurance at the end of the day.
My boss stiffs all my pay checks
Expressing dissatisfaction with a boss who mistreats both payment and friends.
He's breaking all my friends necks
Indicating harm to friends caused by the mentioned boss.
So I rinse and repeat
Adopting a repetitive cycle (rinse and repeat) in response to workplace difficulties.
I reach out never touching
Feeling disconnected, unable to make meaningful contact or impact.
My whole life reeks of nothing
Expressing a sense of emptiness or lack of purpose in life.
Cause I rinse and repeat
Continuing the repetitive cycle as a coping mechanism.
I rinse and repeat
Emphasizing the recurring nature of the rinse and repeat cycle.
Four years down the line I still got high school on my mind
Mentioning lingering thoughts about high school despite the passage of time.
Now I'm 23 a thrill of the arts and a useless degree
Reflecting on being 23 with a degree that seems useless in the pursuit of a fulfilling life.
So I tell myself that what could've been is for somebody else
Accepting that certain opportunities are meant for others, not oneself.
And now days turn into years
Noting the passage of time, with days turning into regretful years.
The life that I live is the regret that I feared
Living a life that is synonymous with the regret feared in the past.
My boss stiffs all my pay checks
Reiterating dissatisfaction with the boss and the impact on friends.
He's breaking all my friends necks
Highlighting the negative influence of the boss on personal relationships.
So I rinse and repeat
Continuing the rinse and repeat cycle as a response to workplace challenges.
I reach out never touching
Expressing a futile attempt to reach out or connect with others.
My whole life reeks of nothing
Describing a life that lacks meaningful experiences or accomplishments.
Cause I rinse and repeat
Persevering in the repetitive cycle as a way to cope with life's challenges.
I rinse and
Repeating the phrase to emphasize the ongoing nature of the cycle.
My boss stiffs all my pay checks
Reiterating dissatisfaction with the boss and the impact on friends.
He's breaking all my friends necks
Emphasizing the negative influence of the boss on personal relationships.
So I rinse and repeat
Continuing the rinse and repeat cycle as a response to workplace challenges.
I reach out never touching
Expressing a futile attempt to reach out or connect with others.
My whole life reeks of nothing
Describing a life that lacks meaningful experiences or accomplishments.
Cause I rinse and
Persevering in the repetitive cycle as a way to cope with life's challenges.
My boss stiffs all my pay checks
Reiterating dissatisfaction with the boss and the impact on friends.
He's breaking all my friends necks
Emphasizing the negative influence of the boss on personal relationships.
So I rinse and repeat
Continuing the rinse and repeat cycle as a response to workplace challenges.
I reach out never touching
Expressing a futile attempt to reach out or connect with others.
My whole life reeks of nothing
Describing a life that lacks meaningful experiences or accomplishments.
Cause I rinse and repeat
Persevering in the repetitive cycle as a way to cope with life's challenges.
I rinse and repeat
Repeating the phrase to emphasize the ongoing nature of the cycle.
