Lyrics
I didn't mean it
Expressing regret for saying something hurtful or inappropriate
When I told you to go
Advising someone to leave or depart
I didn't expect you
Not anticipating the person to comply or agree with the advice
To submit to my meaningless
Realizing the impact of one's hurtful words
harmful words
Recognizing that the words spoken were damaging
'Cause it's all for nothing
Understanding that the actions were without purpose or value
If you ain't here
Emphasizing the significance of the other person's presence
To taste some of it
Implies that the meaning is lost without the other person
I didn't mean for this
Expressing unintended consequences or regret for the situation
Times like these I
Reflecting on difficult moments
Remember that since
Highlighting a long-standing realization from birth
I was born I've been
Conveying the passage of time and aging
Growing old
Life's progression toward old age
Yeah, times like these I
Reiteration of contemplating challenging periods
Hope that someday
Wishing for a better future or resolution
I can find my way
Aspiring to find a direction or purpose
All alone
Being alone in personal discovery or reflection
Have you ever
Pondering a metaphorical journey for understanding
Walked through the
Symbolizing a difficult path or struggle
Desert to find
The search for significance or understanding
The meaning
Questioning the essence of existence
The meaning of life?
Highlighting the potential futility of seeking meaning
Only to die of thirst?
Metaphorically dying while seeking answers
'Cause it's all for nothing
Reiterating the idea that things lack meaning without a specific person
If you ain't here
Reemphasizing the importance of someone's presence
To taste some of it
Similar to line 8, importance is placed on another's presence
I didn't mean for this
Regret or unintended consequences reiterated
Times like these I
Reflecting on challenging times from birth
Remember that since
Reiterating the long-held understanding since birth
I was born I've been
Continuing the theme of aging and the passage of time
Growing old
Reemphasizing life's journey towards old age
Yeah, times like these I
Reiteration of longing for a better future
Hope that someday
Hoping for eventual direction or resolution
I can find my way
Longing to find a path or purpose eventually
