Giving Up, Giving In
Embracing Life's Little Problems: Streetlight Manifesto's Anthem
Lyrics
I got no cash, got no girl, got the world in the palm of my hand,
Expressing a sense of control over the world despite lacking money and a romantic partner.
I don't care if you care, or if you understand,
My indifference towards whether you care or comprehend my situation.
Cause I'm a little kid and I've got little problems yeah, and
Emphasizing the trivial nature of personal problems as a young individual.
I don't give a shit if you don't even understand,
Asserting that it doesn't matter if others don't understand my perspective.
I got me (But I got me)
Self-reliance, acknowledging one's own existence.
That's all I need (that's all I need)
Contentment with having oneself as the only necessity.
And I live comfortably (and I live comfortably)
Living a satisfactory life with minimalistic needs.
And I sleep peacefully
Finding peace and tranquility in sleep.
GO!
Expression of determination or a call to action.
I got no cash, got no girl, got the world in the palm of my hand,
Reiteration of financial and relationship struggles.
I don't care if you care, or if you understand,
Reemphasizing indifference to others' opinions or understanding.
Cause I'm a little kid and I've got little problems yeah, and
Reiterating the insignificance of personal problems as a young individual.
I don't give a shit if you don't even understand,
Stressing the lack of concern for others' comprehension.
I got me (well I got me)
Self-affirmation, emphasizing personal existence.
That's all I need (that's all I need)
Reiteration of contentment with oneself as the only necessity.
And I live comfortably (and I live comfortably)
Reiterating a satisfactory life with minimalistic needs.
And I sleep peacefully
Repeating the idea of finding peace in sleep.
GO!
Another expression of determination or a call to action.
I give up,
Declaration of surrender or giving up.
I don't wanna hear,
Expressing a desire to avoid listening or being close to someone.
I don't wanna be near,
Reiteration of the unwillingness to be near someone.
You, your friends, your dime a dozen miseries,
Disregard for the problems and miseries of others.
I don't care if you care about the way you wear your hair,
Indifference towards others' concerns about appearance.
Your shoes, your idiot attitude,
Disregard for others' choices in clothing and their attitude.
Don't stop cause I wanna hear your problems,
Expressing a willingness to hear about others' problems.
Don't stop cause I wanna help you solve them,
Offering help to solve others' problems.
Don't stop whatever I might say got a problem,
Encouraging others to continue sharing their problems.
About your day, I'm moving things out the way.
Expressing determination to move obstacles in one's way.
I GIVE UP!
Reiteration of giving up, possibly emphasizing frustration.
I GOT NO CASH!
Restating the lack of financial resources.
