Lyrics

I know that it never goes away

Acknowledgment that certain feelings or experiences persist.

All I feel, everything I'm not today

Sensation of lacking certain qualities or attributes presently.

So I try and I try to make everything right

Effort to correct or improve situations but feeling inadequate.

I don't feel like I'm doing it, it affects me

Not feeling successful in rectifying issues, impacting emotions.


You wouldn't listen even if I told you

Perception of being unheard despite attempts to communicate.

Who the fuck am I to say?

Expressing uncertainty about authority to express opinions.

You're too busy with the lies they sold you

Perceived distraction by false information or promises.

Another cure to fix your day

Another solution offered to improve one's condition.

Open wide for all the shit they feed you

Metaphorically, being subjected to negative influences.

While the TV defecates

Implies media generating undesirable content.

And blindly walk wherever they will lead you

Following blindly without considering consequences.

While the edges slowly Fray

Metaphor for gradual deterioration or unraveling.


I know that everything can change

Belief in the potential for things to evolve or alter.

What I need is to open up again

Desire to become receptive or vulnerable again.

So never again will I look back in vain

Determination to avoid regretting past actions.

Cause today's not the past

Emphasizing the importance of the present over the past.

I don't need to relive it

Rejecting the need to re-experience past events.


You wouldn't listen even if I told you

Repeated feeling of being unheard when trying to communicate.

Who the fuck am I to say?

Expressing uncertainty about the right to voice opinions.

You're too busy with the lies they sold you

Being preoccupied or influenced by false information.

Another cure to fix your day

Another remedy offered to improve one's condition.

Open wide for all the shit they feed you

Symbolic ingestion of negative or misleading information.

While the TV defecates

Commentary on media producing undesirable content.

And blindly walk wherever they will lead you

Following a path without critical thought.

While the edges slowly Fray

Continued metaphor of gradual deterioration.


Are you satisfied?

Inquiry about satisfaction after giving maximum effort.

I've given all I can

Expressing having given all one can.

And are you pacified

Questioning if the recipient feels content or appeased.

Or do you want more from me?

Wondering if more is expected or demanded.


You wouldn't listen even if I told you

Reiteration of feeling unheard when expressing oneself.

Who the fuck am I to say?

Questioning the right to express personal opinions.

You're too busy with the lies they sold you

Being influenced or consumed by falsehoods.

Another cure to fix your day

Another suggested solution to improve the situation.

Open wide for all the shit they feed you

Symbolic intake of negative or misleading information.

While the TV defecates

Commentary on media producing undesirable content.

And blindly walk wherever they will lead you

Continued following without critical thought.

While the edges slowly Fray

Reiteration of gradual deterioration metaphor.


I've learned that this life's not just a game

Understanding life as a balance between joy and suffering.

Just a line between the pleasures and the pain

Highlighting the fine line between pleasure and pain.


You wouldn't listen even if I told you

Feeling unheard despite attempts to communicate.

Who the fuck am I to say?

Uncertainty about the authority to express opinions.

You're too busy with the lies they sold you

Distraction or influence by misleading information.

Another cure to fix your day

Another proposed solution to improve one's condition.

Open wide for all the shit they feed you

Symbolic ingestion of negative or misleading information.

While the TV defecates

Commentary on media producing undesirable content.

And blindly walk wherever they will lead you

Following a path without critical thought.

While the edges slowly Fray

Continued metaphor of gradual deterioration.
