Less from You
Anticipating Disappointment: We Are Scientists' 'Less from You' Reflection
Lyrics
I've been around for long enough
I have experienced life for a considerable time.
By now, you'd think I'd know what to expect
Given the duration, one would anticipate understanding what to anticipate.
It's not profound
The situation or realization is not deep or insightful.
I hope I'd have figured out
I wish I would have already figured things out.
I really ain't seen nothing yet
Despite the time, there are still new experiences to encounter.
I wouldn't be here if I thought
I wouldn't be in this situation if I believed this was the best you could offer.
This was all you've got
Expressing disappointment or dissatisfaction with the current situation.
I shouldn't need this so much
I shouldn't depend on this to such an extent.
But, come on
Expressing a sense of disbelief or frustration, urging for improvement.
I expected nothing less from you
Anticipating a subpar outcome, in line with previous expectations.
Not once or twice
This disappointment is not a rare occurrence.
It happens every night
The disappointment repeats regularly, possibly nightly.
Recovery can take for days
The recovery from this disappointment takes a significant amount of time.
It might be nice for this to come without the price
Expressing a desire for positive experiences without negative consequences.
That I know's gonna have to be paid
Acknowledging that a cost will inevitably be associated with the experience.
Enough is always enough
There is a limit to tolerance, but it can change.
Until it's not
The limit continues until it is no longer sustainable.
Someday it's gonna catch up
Despite the current situation, consequences are expected in the future.
But, so what?
However, the speaker seems indifferent or resigned to these future consequences.
I expected nothing less from you
Reiterating the expectation of a disappointing outcome.
Somehow I know but can't believe it
Despite having some understanding, disbelief remains.
There's must be something I'm not seeing
Indicating a lack of complete understanding or awareness.
I expected nothing less from you
Reaffirming the expectation of receiving less than desired or anticipated.
