Lyrics
I guess we used to be the lucky ones
Reflecting on a past time of good fortune.
Good fortune smiled on everyone
Positive circumstances favored everyone.
Stop (stop)
A warning about impending bad luck.
A voice said you best beware
-Stop (stop)
-Bad luck is everywhere
-And sure enough the voice was right
Confirming the accuracy of the warning.
My luck had changed overnight
Fortune suddenly changed for the worse.
Stop (stop)
Expressing confusion and distress about the change.
Please tell me what went wrong
-Stop (stop)
-I can't take these ups and downs
-Hard times come, and hard times go
Life's challenges come and go, leaving hidden scars.
And in between you hope and pray
-The scars don't show
-'Cause life is strange and so unsure
Life is unpredictable with moments of despair.
The days you hardly make it through
-You swear that there's a curse on you
-When nothing seems to fit
Feeling overwhelmed and questioning fate.
And things won't go your way
-You know you've had enough
-You've got the right to say
-Why me? Why me?
Pleading the question, "Why me?" in the face of adversity.
Rubelator
"Rubelator" – unclear reference, possibly representing a challenge.
Stop (stop)
Dealing with anxiety and seeking relief.
Here comes anxiety
-Stop (stop)
-Won't you please let me be, I need relief
-Hard times come, hard times go
Reiterating the theme of life's uncertainties and curses.
In between you hope and pray
-The scars don't show
-'Cause life is strange and so unsure
-The days you hardly make it through
-You're sure that there's a curse on you
-And nothing seems to fit
Expressing frustration and inability to endure further challenges.
And things don't go your way
-You know you've had enough
-You can't take another day
-Where to go and what to do
Navigating responsibilities and acknowledging shared struggles.
You've got those bills to pay
-You're really not alone you know
-'Cause everybody says
Repeating the question "Why me?" with a sense of confusion and frustration.
Why me?
-Why me?
-"Why me? That's what I want to know
-You know what I mean?
-Huh, I don't know"
An expression of uncertainty and resignation.
