Middle Class Rut (MC Rut) – Busy Bein' Born Lyrics 16 years ago
for the meaning: This song is clearly about depression but the mystery is in the why. What I love about music is how it can mean different things to different people. This song in and of it's self could be about the music industry, life in general, a love with a personality disorder, or being bi-polar. But if you listen to the whole EP you pick up a theme of bad relationship. This song seems to explain why, she (could be a he but just easier to pick on gender and move on) she has some issue that drove him to depression:

The days keep draging on Those rafts keep pushing on whoa The slowest race around We all just race around whoa Life, unlike a mountain dew commercial, is slow and dragging. It is a raft race.


and when the hope's gone the weight falls on me (depression)

yeah, when i'm gone the weight falls on me (depression)
no sense in signing up, you're names already in (you have no choice but to be in the race)
go ahead, yeah fuck it up, the next guy pays for it (we have all been in a relationship were the preivous asshairs actions fucked up an otherwise good girl)

coz what i get aint half of what i give and that don't suit me anyway (he is giving all he can, she is not giving shit cause she is crazy or PTSD)

maybe i sacrifice to feel like I'm alive (many people sacrifice their well being to carry someone else, it gives a sense of purpose)
pennyless, it's all the same (emotionally broke)
at least i'll die with a name (marter)

I ain't dead yet (fighting to get out of the depression, the cycle of marterdom, the tempo change in the song is energy and brilliant)

Give it back (loosing the fight)
We're all dead yet (realizing that he can't win)

the rest of the song is the struggle to keep fighting while knowing you can't win. All around a brilliant song, and when you listen and realize it is just two dudes, wow.

Lyrics correction:
The days keep draging on
Those rafts keep pushing on whoa

The slowest race around
We all just race around whoa

and when the hope's gone the weight falls on me

yeah, when i'm gone the weight falls on me
no sense in signing up, you're names already in
go ahead, yeah fuck it up, the next guy pays for it

coz what i get aint half of what i give
and that don't suit me anyway (repeat)

maybe i sacrifice to feel like I'm alive
pennyless, it's all the same
at least i'll die with a name

I ain't dead yet

Give it back
We're all dead yet

Give it back
We're all dead yet

We're all dead yet

maybe i sacrifice to feel like I'm alive
pennyless, it's all the same
at least i'll die with a name

maybe i sacrifice to feel like I'm alive
pennyless, it's all the same
at least i'll die with a name

I ain't dead yet
Give it back

We're all dead yet
give it back
we're all dead yet

and when the hopes gone the weight it falls on me
when I'm gone the weight it falls on me

and when the hopes gone the weight it falls on me
yeah when I'm gone the weight it falls on me
