The Science of Selling Yourself Short Lyrics
I've come to my senses,
That I've become senseless,
I could give you lessons on how to ruin your friendships,
Every last conviction, I smoked them all away,
I drank my frustrations down the drain, out of the way,
So I sit and wait and wonder,
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
Someone so tired of their routines and disappearing self-esteems,
[Chorus:]
I'll sing along,
Yeah with every emergency,
Just sing along,
I'm the king of catastrophies,
I'm so far gone,
That deep down inside I think it's fine by me,
I'm my own worst enemy
I could be an expert on co-dependency,
I could write the best book on underage tragedy,
I've been spending my time at the local liquor store,
I've been sleeping nightly on my best friends kitchen floor,
So I sit and wait and wonder,
"Does anyone else feel like me?"
I'm so over dosed on apathy burnt out on sympathy
[Chorus]
Let the meaning slip away
Lost my faith in another day,
Self deprication seems okay,
I never thought I'd make it anyway
[Chorus]
I'm my own worst enemy [x5]
This is a really good song. The meaning isn't really hidden, just simply about depression and feeling like you're doing everything wrong. I think we've all felt just like this before, so its really to relate to.
Im listening to this now. And its so good. I mean like its how i feel most of the time. How alot of people feel i bet. The upbeat tune represents me smiling through it when inside im saying things like the lyrics say. Upbeat but negative at the same time.
Its perfect.
It's one of those songs you go to when you're completely fed up with yourself.
"i've come to my senses that i've become senseless" he's realized he's lost touch with feeling and what's important. he's basically wasted by the time he's realized "he's his own worst enemy". wasted because "i smoked them all away", "i drank my frusterations", "spending my time at the local liquor store", "sleeping on my best friend's kitchen floor" he feels he's an expert, a king, of being a fuck up. he wonders if anyone feels this way because it's himself who's damaging him.
:] get it??
I got arrested listening to this song.
Why hasn't anyone commented on this song yet?! This is definitely one of the best Less Than Jake songs, in my opinion. I love Rogers voice.
You can listen to this song and relate to everything he's saying, and probably even remember a time that all of it happened to you, but since the song is so upbeat, it makes everything feel a little bit better. Get yourself a joint, listen to this song, and watch the problems melt away.
"i could give you lessons hwoto ruin your friendships" took the words straight outta my mouh
LTJ write alot about being in a teenage state of mind, and this is a great example. both the lyrics and the laid-backness of the music give the message "i cant do nothing right, but so what?!"
definately the best song by less than jake. i love the upbeat sound to it, and yet the lyrics are so negative at the same time. i just can't believe nobody else has commented on it much?
