Lyrics
Go Away
Expressing a desire for someone to leave.
Say nothing as you Leave
Encouraging the person to leave without saying anything.
Let it Go
Advocating for letting go of a situation or relationship.
Disown me
Feeling rejected or disowned.
And my family
Feeling a sense of separation from one's family.
Just let us go, just let us be
Expressing a desire to be left alone as a family.
You don't like us anyway, so let's just throw it all away
Acknowledging a lack of acceptance and suggesting letting go of everything.
whatever it was, it was never enough
Implying that past efforts were insufficient.
We gave it our all but we're always
Despite giving their best, feeling unappreciated or unsuccessful.
We're Damned if we do, We're Damned if we don't
Feeling trapped or condemned whether they take action or not.
(We're Damned no matter what)
Reiterating a sense of being condemned regardless of their choices.
So why waste our time trying to make amends
Questioning the value of trying to reconcile when it seems futile.
(When it's so worthless)
Expressing the belief that reconciliation efforts are worthless.
We're Damned if we do, we're damned if we don't
Repeating the feeling of being damned regardless of actions.
(We're damned no matter)
Emphasizing the inevitability of damnation.
(No Matter What)
Repeating the idea of damnation, regardless of circumstances.
With bated breath we waited
Describing a period of anticipation and hope with caution.
Hoping things would change
Expressing a desire for positive change.
We'd find a way to coexist in this town we call a home
Hoping for coexistence in the place they consider home.
But you're so bitter
Noting a negative and resentful attitude from the other party.
You hate us all
Perceiving a general dislike from the other party.
So we exhale and we move along
Choosing to exhale and move forward despite challenges.
We're Damned if we do, We're Damned if we don't
Reiterating the feeling of being condemned, regardless of choices.
(We're Damned no matter what)
Repeating the idea that they are damned regardless of actions.
So why waste our time trying to make amends
Questioning the value of making amends in a seemingly futile situation.
(When it's so worthless)
Expressing the belief that making amends is worthless.
We're Damned if we do, we're damned if we don't
Reiterating the feeling of being condemned regardless of choices.
(We're damned so why don't)
Suggesting the futility of continuing in a damned state.
We call it quits and just move along
Deciding to end the situation and move forward.
(Whoa)
Adding emphasis to the decision to move on.
Forget what we had it's never coming back
Acknowledging the loss of what they once had and accepting it won't return.
(No)
Emphasizing the finality of the situation.
Why waste our time when we all know
Questioning the worth of investing time when the outcome is clear.
(It's over)
Concluding that the situation is over and no longer worth pursuing.
