Navigating Life's Contradictions: Lousy, Thanks by Tired Radio
Lyrics
I still curse god
I still express anger or frustration towards a higher power or fate.
When something doesn't go my way
When things don't go my way, I continue to resent or blame a higher power.
Although I claim to not believe in any deities or saints
Despite claiming not to believe in any gods or saints, I contradict myself.
And so I guess
Consequently, I acknowledge this internal conflict or inconsistency.
That makes me some kind of hypocrite
This contradiction labels me as a hypocrite, a person contradicting their own beliefs.
Some stupid fucking piece of shit that don't know anything
Feeling like a foolish and ignorant individual who lacks understanding.
I wish I could power down my brain
Expressing a desire to escape or shut down my thoughts and emotions.
My memory
My recollection tends to focus on negative experiences rather than positive ones.
Well it never plays the hits
My memory does not recall pleasant memories; it dwells on things I want to forget.
It always likes to reminisce on things that i'd like to forget
Getting lost in recurring thoughts that persistently surface.
And I get lost
Feeling overwhelmed and confused by persistent thoughts.
In these thoughts that come way
These thoughts emerge unexpectedly and frequently.
They're shooting rapid fire every single day
Experiencing a barrage of thoughts every day, overwhelming in their frequency.
But if only I could power down my brain
Expressing a desire to temporarily shut down or reset one's mind.
A hard restart would make it all okay
Believing that a complete restart of the mind would solve problems.
It's not getting any better
Acknowledging that the situation or mental state is not improving.
But it can't get any worse
Despite the current difficulties, recognizing that things could be worse.
As long as things just stay the same
As long as the situation remains unchanged, there's a potential for improvement.
I guess I could make this work
Considering the possibility of making the current situation work.
I could probably make it work
Expressing confidence in the ability to make things work despite challenges.
Cause i've rehearsed my lines
Having practiced or prepared for various situations many times.
At least a hundred thousand times
Repeatedly rehearsing responses to different scenarios.
People they don't want the truth so you gotta learn to lie
Recognizing the need to sometimes withhold the truth and resort to deception.
So when someone asks me
Preparing to respond to inquiries about well-being with a less than truthful answer.
"Hey man how you doing?"
When asked about my well-being, I respond positively even if it's not entirely true.
I'm doing fine
Responding to inquiries about my well-being with a socially acceptable response.
