Better To Best
From Idiot to Insight: Embracing Happiness in 'Better To Best'
Lyrics
Okay, I'll admit it
Admission of past mistakes or wrongdoings.
This past year I've been kind of an idiot
Reflecting on a year of foolish behavior or poor decisions.
more partial to my room with choices I choose
Expressing a preference for solitude and personal choices over spending time with someone else.
Time I could have spent with you
Regret over the time that could have been spent with a significant other.
Maybe it wouldn't hurt to try to be happy
Considering the possibility of finding happiness and positive change.
Maybe things aren't quite as bad as I let myself believe
Acknowledging that circumstances may not be as dire as perceived.
I'm so much better off than I used to be
Recognizing personal improvement compared to the past.
I spent so much time deciding not to be
Reflecting on the time spent deliberating on whether or not to change.
I'm so much better off than I used to be
Reiterating personal growth and commitment to change.
I think this time I mean it, actually
A firm belief in the sincerity of the intention to improve.
I'm so much better off than I used to be
Emphasizing personal progress compared to a previous state.
I spent so much time deciding not to be
Reflecting on the time spent inactively resisting positive change.
I'm so much better off than I used to be
Reiterating personal growth and positive transformation.
Since that night on Broad and Kennedy
Referencing a specific moment or event (night on Broad and Kennedy) that contributed to personal growth.
Maybe it wouldn't hurt to try to be happy
Reiterating the importance of attempting to find happiness.
Maybe things aren't quite as bad as I let myself believe
Questioning the severity of perceived problems.
Maybe things aren't quite as bad as I let myself believe
Repeating the idea that circumstances may not be as bad as initially thought.
Maybe things aren't quite as bad as I let myself believe
Reinforcing the notion that things may be better than believed.
Maybe things aren't quite as bad as I let myself believe
Repeating the theme of reconsidering negative beliefs about one's situation.
