Everything Happens to Me
Fateful Symphony of Misfortune: Everything Happens to Me
Lyrics
Black cats creep across my path
Feeling unlucky, encountering ominous signs like black cats
Until I'm almost mad
Feeling pushed to the brink of madness due to unfortunate events
I must have 'roused the devil's wrath
Believing to have angered fate or evil forces
Cause all my luck is bad
Experiencing a series of bad luck
I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains
Planning an activity only for it to be ruined by unexpected events (rain)
I try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains
Attempting to host a gathering, but facing complaints or obstacles
I guess I'll go through life
Expressing resignation to a life filled with setbacks
Just catchin' colds and missin' trains
Consistently experiencing setbacks like illness and missed opportunities
Everything happens to me
Summarizing the theme: a series of unfortunate events
I never miss a thing
Being exceptionally observant, not overlooking anything, including misfortunes
I've had the measles and the mumps
Having encountered various illnesses
And every time I play an ace
Despite having a good hand in a card game, always losing to a better hand
My partner always trumps
Continuously being outsmarted or bested despite efforts
Guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps
Admitting to impulsiveness, acting without considering consequences
Everything happens to me
Reiterating the theme of constant misfortune
At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me
Initially believing that love could change one's luck
That love would turn the trick to end despair
Hope that love could bring an end to despair
But know I just can't fool this head that thinks for me
Realization that one cannot deceive oneself about the reality of their situation
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air
Having invested all hopes and dreams, now facing disappointment
I've telegraphed and phoned
Attempts to communicate through various means, seeking a response
I send an "Airmail Special" too
Expressing efforts made to reach out, even with urgency ("Airmail Special")
Your answer was "Goodbye"
Receiving a clear rejection or goodbye
And there was even postage due
Even the communication had additional problems, symbolizing more misfortune
I fell in love just once
Falling in love once, and it happened to be with someone who brought more misfortune
And then it had to be with you
Highlighting misfortune attached to the romantic relationship
Everything happens to me
Reaffirmation of the ongoing series of unfortunate events
