Nothing But Trouble
Echoes of Desolation: Phantogram's Nothing But Trouble
Lyrics
Do you ever have the feeling
Expressing a sense of questioning or doubt about reality and existence.
That you constantly been dreaming this is life
Suggesting a feeling of living in a dreamlike state or uncertainty about life.
Everyone I know is not around
Noticing the absence of familiar people; feeling alone or isolated.
And Lucy's still been crawling underground
Referencing someone named Lucy who seems to be in a difficult or hidden situation.
They're eating all my shotgun smiles
People taking away the speaker's expressions of joy or happiness.
Yeah eating all my shotgun smiles
-I'm nothing, I see nothing but double
Feeling overwhelmed, possibly by negative emotions or challenges.
Don't listen to me
Advising others not to pay attention or take the speaker's words seriously.
I'm nothing but trouble
Self-awareness of being a source of problems or difficulties.
I'm losing my mind
Expressing a sense of losing one's sanity or mental stability.
I don't want wanna see another night
Desire to avoid experiencing another challenging or difficult night.
No I don't want to taste another life
Expressing a reluctance to go through another phase or version of life.
The walls are breathing in and now I
Feeling suffocated or overwhelmed, possibly by external pressures.
Continue to deny another
Continued denial or avoidance of something undesirable or challenging.
They're eating all my shotgun smiles
Others diminishing the speaker's expressions of happiness or positivity.
Yeah eating all my shotgun smiles
-I'm nothing, I see nothing but double
Reiterating a sense of confusion or distortion, seeing things in double.
Don't listen to me
Reiterating the advice not to take the speaker seriously or listen to them.
I'm nothing but trouble
Acknowledging again that the speaker is a source of trouble or difficulty.
I'm losing my mind [x2]
Reinforcing the idea of losing mental stability or control.
