Not That Bad
Navigating Social Tides: Offshore Projects' 'Not That Bad' Reflections
Lyrics
God damn I did it again,
Expressing frustration for repeating a certain behavior.
Got too drunk and overstayed my welcome in several conversations
Acknowledging instances of excessive drinking and lingering in conversations.
I knew as soon as he said, ""I'm gonna get another drink"",
Anticipating further social challenges when someone decides to get another drink.
But didn't even go to the bar.
Failing to act on the intention to go to the bar despite the situation.
It's probably not that bad
Downplaying the severity of the situation, suggesting it may not be as bad as it seems.
I'm sure there's worse things I could have said
Reflecting on the possibility of having said worse things in the conversation.
If it's left up to me
Expressing a willingness to continue the conversation if given the choice.
We would talk indefinitely
Desiring an extended conversation, perhaps avoiding an impending end.
They're tired of me again
Noticing that people are tired of the speaker's presence.
Every person in the course of the evening making an excuse to get up
Observing others finding excuses to leave and take a break during the evening.
And go and have a smoke
People going for a smoke, indicating a missed opportunity for the speaker to excuse themselves.
Which means I missed my little window to excuse myself at a good time
Regretting the missed chance to leave the conversation at a suitable moment.
It's probably not that bad
Reiterating the belief that the situation may not be extremely bad.
I'm sure there's worse things I could have said
Reflecting on the possibility of having uttered more problematic statements.
If it's left up to me
Expressing a willingness to prolong the conversation if given the choice.
We would talk indefinitely
Desiring an extended conversation, suggesting the speaker's preference.
It's so hard to never drink
Acknowledging the difficulty of abstaining from drinking.
When you're usually quiet without it, the alcohol's inspiring me
Describing how alcohol inspires the usually quiet speaker to express themselves.
To say what I wanna say. It carries me away.
Highlighting the intoxicating effect of alcohol, enabling the speaker to speak freely.
It's probably not that bad
Reiterating the belief that the situation may not be extremely bad.
I'm sure there's worse things I could have had
Considering that there are worse things the speaker could have experienced.
If it's left up to me
Expressing a willingness to prolong the conversation if given the choice.
We would talk indefinitely
Desiring an extended conversation, reinforcing the speaker's preference.
It's probably not that bad
Reiterating the belief that the situation may not be extremely bad.
I'm sure there's worse things I could have said
Reflecting on the possibility of having uttered more problematic statements.
If it's left up to me
Expressing a willingness to prolong the conversation if given the choice.
We would talk indefinitely
Desiring an extended conversation, suggesting the speaker's preference.
Its probably not that bad
Reiterating the belief that the situation may not be extremely bad.
If its left up to me, we would talk indefinitely
Expressing a desire for an endless conversation if the decision were up to the speaker.
