Lyrics
Set off on the backfoot
Beginning a journey or endeavor in a defensive or disadvantageous position.
And now you're tired of trying
Feeling exhausted or frustrated from making efforts without success.
Way too hard to trip again
Experiencing difficulty in attempting something again, possibly due to previous failures.
To get out to fall back in
Struggling to escape a situation only to find oneself back in it.
Set off on the backfoot
Repeating the cycle of starting at a disadvantage or setback.
And you were doing so well
Initially making progress but ultimately reverting to previous behaviors or patterns.
But you're still the same old guy
Despite external changes, the person remains unchanged in character.
You've got more things but less inside
Accumulating material possessions but lacking emotional fulfillment or depth.
Stressful days and lonely nights
Enduring challenging days and nights spent in solitude.
Happy happy thoughts and playful fights
Contrast between superficially positive thoughts and playful conflicts, possibly masking deeper issues.
Just to come in a suit and tie wrapped around your neck way too tight
Engaging in formalities like dressing up while feeling constrained or suffocated.
How does the green grass look
Expressing curiosity about the perception of a seemingly better situation.
I can't see that side
Unable to see the positive aspects, possibly due to personal limitations.
But it doesn't look that green
Casting doubt on the perceived attractiveness of a seemingly favorable situation.
Looks like a waste of time to me
Viewing something as a waste of time, suggesting a negative outlook.
Set off on the backfoot
Reiterating the theme of starting at a disadvantage.
Better grow a backbone
Encouraging the need to develop resilience or courage in difficult situations.
Because the line is oh so fine
Highlighting the fine line between success and failure.
And all I do is waste my time
Feeling that time is being wasted on unproductive pursuits.
And I'm done
Expressing a sense of completion or resignation.
Yeah I'm done
Repeating the sentiment of being done or finished.
Oh I'm done
Emphasizing the feeling of conclusion or finality.
Yeah I'm done
Reiterating the sense of being done or completed.
Yeah I'm done
Expressing finality or completion.
Oh I'm done
Confirming the sense of being done or finished.
Yeah I'm done
Repeating the declaration of being done or concluded.
Oh I'm done
Concluding the song with a sense of finality or completion.
