Something Good
Unveiling Life's Redemption: A Reflection on Deeds and Love
Lyrics
Perhaps I had a wicked childhood
Reflection on a possibly troubled childhood
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
Reflection on a potentially unhappy youth
But somewhere in my wicked, miserable past
Suggesting a connection between wickedness and misery in the past
There must have been a moment of truth
Acknowledging a moment of truth in the past
For here you are, standing there, loving me
Expressing surprise or gratitude for someone loving despite past flaws
Whether or not you should
Questioning the appropriateness of receiving love
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
Connecting love received to actions in youth or childhood
I must have done something good
Expressing a belief in having done something good in the past
Nothing comes from nothing
Stating a philosophical idea that nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
Emphasizing the impossibility of something coming from nothing
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
Linking the philosophical idea to actions in youth or childhood
I must have done something good
Reiterating the belief in having done something good in the past
For here you are standing there, loving me
Expressing gratitude or surprise for current love
Whether or not you should
Questioning the appropriateness of receiving love again
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
Connecting current love to actions in youth or childhood
I must have done something good
Reaffirming the belief in having done something good in the past
Nothing comes from nothing
Repeating the philosophical idea that nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
Emphasizing the impossibility of something coming from nothing once again
So somewhere in my youth
Highlighting the timeframe of the past (youth or childhood)
Or childhood
Reiterating the timeframe and suggesting a positive action in the past
I must have done something
Reiterating the belief in having done something good
Something good
Emphasizing the positive nature of the past action
