Lyrics
Once in a lifetime
Highlighting a rare occurrence or opportunity in one's life.
You do something
Action or decision made.
Something totally fucked
Describing the action as deeply problematic or chaotic.
That it totally changes everything
The action has a profound impact on one's life.
Now you've got to live with it
Living with the consequences of the action.
But you never live it down
Difficulty moving past or overcoming the action.
And it hounds you to the ground
Feeling pursued or haunted by the consequences.
Yeah, it hounds you to the ground
Reiterating the persistent impact of the action.
This was your fifteen minutes
Referring to a brief period of fame or recognition.
Hope you had fun now
Reflection on the fleeting nature of fame.
Have a nice life, yeah
Wishing a pleasant life after the fame has passed.
You're basically done now
Acknowledging the end of significant attention or success.
(Na na na na)
(Repetition) Possibly emphasizing or mocking the situation.
(Na na na na)
-(Na na na na)
-(Na na na na)
-Karma is a killer
Introducing the concepts of karma and regret.
Regret can really nail you too
Emphasizing the lasting impact of regret.
And nothing you can do or say
Recognizing the inability to rectify the situation.
Can fix this for you
Conveying a sense of helplessness.
Sorry to say it
Expressing regret for the situation.
But you can't go back in time
Highlighting the irreversible nature of time.
This is your life now
Acceptance of the present reality.
Until the end of the line
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the consequences.
Forever unforgiven
Feeling perpetually unforgiven for the action.
The cure will not be found
Expressing the unavailability of a remedy or solution.
As it hounds you to the ground
Reiterating the haunting nature of the consequences.
Yeah it hounds you to the ground
Reemphasizing the inescapable impact of the action.
This was your fifteen minutes
(Repetition) Reiterating the transitory nature of fame and its aftermath.
Hope you had fun now
-Have a nice life, yeah
-You're basically done now
-This was your fifteen minutes
-Hope you had fun now
-Have a nice life, yeah
-You're basically done now
-(Na na na na) You're done now
(Repetition) Possibly underscoring the finality of the situation.
(Na na na na) You're done now
-(Na na na na) You're done now
-(Na na na na) You're done now
-(Na na na na) You're done now
-(Na na na na) You're done now
-(Na na na na) You're done now
-(Na na na na) You're done now
