Lyrics
I resent the winter the depression that it brings
I resent the winter, and the depression it brings.
kills hope and the air can hurt so much it stings
Winter kills hope, and the cold air is emotionally painful.
It’s always tempting to act like I don’t care
There's a temptation to act indifferent despite caring.
To feel nothing for a minute is only fair
Temporary emotional numbness feels justified at times.
I remember in the summer drinking warm beer with my friends
Recollection of enjoyable times in summer, sharing warm beer with friends.
But now we all have dead end jobs and don’t get fucked up on the weekends
Present contrast: friends now have unfulfilling jobs, and weekends are different.
Where’d the time go I don’t know and I’ve got nothing to show for it, but nothing to regret
Reflection on the passage of time, unsure of where it went, and no tangible achievements or regrets.
I wake up defeated innocent but filled with guilt
Waking up feeling defeated, innocent yet burdened with guilt.
I’m bored of mourning problems that I’ve built
Boredom with self-created problems, tired of mourning.
It’s always tempting to act like I don’t care
Reiteration of the temptation to appear indifferent.
To feel nothing for a minute is only fair
Reiterating the fairness in feeling nothing momentarily.
I remember in the summer drinking warm beer with my friends
Nostalgia for past summers, contrasted with the present reality.
But now we all have dead end jobs and don’t get fucked up on the weekends
Friends now in dead-end jobs, weekends lacking the previous excitement.
Where’d the time go I don’t know and I’ve got nothing to show for it, but nothing to regret
Uncertainty about where time went, acknowledging the absence of both achievements and regrets.
I’ve been told my whole life that you’ve got nothing to loose
Throughout life, the notion that one has nothing to lose is emphasized.
And you’ve got your whole life ahead of you
The belief in having a whole life ahead is challenged.
But it’s not true, no it’s not true
Contradiction: the previous notion is deemed untrue.
I’ve been told my whole life that you’ve got nothing to loose
Repetition of the idea that one has nothing to lose.
And you’ve got your whole life ahead of you
Reiteration of the belief in having a whole life ahead.
But it’s not true, no it’s not true
Repetition of the contradiction: it's not true.
I remember in the summer drinking warm beer with my friends
Recollection of past summers, emphasizing the contrast with the current situation.
But now we all have dead end jobs and don’t get fucked up on the weekends
Friends now in dead-end jobs, and the weekends are no longer carefree.
Where’d the time go I don’t know and I’ve got nothing to show for it
Questioning where time went, acknowledging the lack of tangible achievements.
Where’d the time go I don’t know and I’ve got nothing to show for it, but nothing to regret
Reiteration of the uncertainty about where time went, with a lack of both regrets and achievements.
