Lyrics
I got nothing to gain
I have nothing to gain.
From sitting around and complaining
Sitting around and complaining is unproductive.
Nobody does
No one benefits from complaining.
But here I am again
Despite knowing this, here I am again.
Complaining to a friend
Expressing dissatisfaction to a friend.
And that's how it goes
That's just the way life is.
I'm not saying I'm in hell
Not claiming to be in hell, but feeling unwell.
but I'm not feeling all that well
Acknowledging a sense of discomfort.
Whoever does
No one is exempt from feeling unwell.
It's dawning on me now
Realizing a harsh reality.
We're all in hell somehow
Understanding that everyone is facing challenges.
And that's how it goes
Accepting the way life unfolds.
Stare down into the abyss
Contemplating a difficult situation.
Toss in a coin and make a wish
Taking a chance and hoping for improvement.
It's gonna turn back kind of like it was
Expecting things to revert to a better state.
It's not that it was perfect, no
Acknowledging imperfection in the past.
But it was pretty good
Despite imperfections, the past was relatively good.
And compared to this shit
Comparing the current situation unfavorably.
It's as good as it gets
The past seems much better than the present.
Like everyday we'd dance around
Recalling joyful moments, like dancing.
Like Rogers and Astaire
Reference to Rogers and Astaire, symbolizing elegance.
We'd dress up in our finest
Enjoying life's finer aspects.
And just breathe the fucking air
Appreciating the simple pleasure of breathing.
I got nothing to gain
Reiteration of having nothing to gain from complaining.
From sitting around and complaining
Highlighting the futility of complaining.
Whoever does
No one benefits from complaining.
But what am I to do
Feeling lost without a significant other.
I'm lonely without you
Expressing loneliness.
And that's how it goes
Accepting the inevitability of loneliness.
Stare down into the abyss
Repeating the theme of staring into a difficult situation.
Toss in a coin and make a wish
Trying to improve the situation through a symbolic wish.
It's gonna turn back kind of like it was
Expecting a positive change, reminiscent of the past.
It's not that it was perfect, no
Acknowledging past imperfection.
But it was pretty good
Despite flaws, the past was relatively good.
And compared to this shit
Comparing the current situation unfavorably.
It's as good as it gets
The present seems much worse than the past.
Like everyday we'd dance around
Recalling joyful moments, like dancing (repeated).
Like Rogers and Astaire
Reference to Rogers and Astaire (repeated).
We'd dress up in our finest
Enjoying life's finer aspects (repeated).
And just breathe the fucking air
Appreciating the simple pleasure of breathing (repeated).
