Lyrics

It's not as bad as it's been

Reflecting on a past situation, acknowledging it's not currently as bad as it once was.

I don't remember, exactly when

Uncertain about when the referenced situation occurred.

Still it's not as good as it used to be

Comparing the present to a better past, expressing a sense of decline.

Shifting sands drift like memories

Metaphorically describing the fleeting nature of memories, implying instability.


Yeah I'm a winner 'cause I've got nothing left to lose

Embracing a winning mindset despite having nothing to lose.

Been wrung through the wringer

Having endured hardships, emerged victorious, and now identified as a winner.

And spit out a winner

Reiterating the triumph after going through challenges.


I can still see you standing in the doorway

Recalling a specific moment when someone departed, possibly leading to a change in perspective.

Everything went white when you walked away

Describing a significant emotional impact, symbolized by the whiteness when the person left.

The sky behind you was clear and the sun was high

Depicting a clear and bright setting as the person left, creating a lasting memory.

My eyes were blinded, my mind went clear and I felt all right

Experiencing a transformative moment as the person departs, feeling clear-minded and okay.


And spit out a winner

Reiterating the victorious feeling after overcoming challenges.

Yeah I'm a winner 'cause I've got nothing left to lose

Affirming a winning attitude despite having nothing to lose.

Been wrung through the wringer

Confirming the struggles faced and conquered on the path to victory.


I got nothing and that's fine with me

Expressing contentment with having nothing materialistic.


I got nothing and I feel all right

Feeling satisfied and alright despite having nothing.

Been wrung through the wringer

Reiterating the challenges faced and the subsequent victory.

And spit out a winner

Emphasizing the winning outcome after enduring difficulties.

I got nothing I got nothing and I feel free

Expressing freedom and contentment with having nothing.

Yeah I'm a winner 'cause I've got nothing left to lose

Affirming the winning mentality despite lacking material possessions.
