| We Are Scientists – Nice Guys Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
Honestly, considering this entire album is about cheating... the song takes on a whole different meaning to me. Like.. he talks about the nice guy coming last anyway... but then he says "If you want this, I want it more than you." So, he's basically pushing aside the nice guy and saying I want her more than you. Being the alpha male, being aggressive. "Nice guys finish last anyway, and that's just the problem." And even more... "It's fine to say this isn't a game When you've already lost it It's pointless to go through it again But perhaps you've forgotten You've gotta know there's nothing to gain So why even bother?" When you're the "nice guy" when he's around, it's pointless. Just give up, you can't win against him. So just give up. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it makes sense to me, considering the rest of the album is about cheating. |
