Knock Yourself Out Lyrics
It's something unattainable
That you can't live without
And now the unexplainable
Has you riddled with doubt
Things began, things decay
And you've gotta find a way to be okay
But if you wanna spend the day
Wondering what it's all about
Go and knock yourself out
Why we're put in this mess
Is anybody's guess
It might be a test
Or it might not be anything
To be too worried about
But if you're still in doubt
Go and knock yourself out
That you can't live without
And now the unexplainable
Has you riddled with doubt
And you've gotta find a way to be okay
But if you wanna spend the day
Wondering what it's all about
Go and knock yourself out
Is anybody's guess
It might be a test
Or it might not be anything
To be too worried about
But if you're still in doubt
Go and knock yourself out

A great song, only just a bit too short. The meaning is simple. People wonder about the meaning of their lives, the point of everything, the reality of the world and for the most part, they will never know what it really is, but it is necessary to them, to think of these things, and that if they want to spend the day they can. People have to find a way to be okay.
its thing decay after things begin....
this reminds me of Elliott Smith songs
ya eh, apparently they have jammed out with each other. that pumped me up
This song is wonderful.
I love this song. Every time I hear it, it makes me feel at peace...
this song is about existentialism
re: It's a song about love, with existentialism as a reason. Or it's a song about getting knocked out, with existentialism as a reason.
this guy is actually ridiculously talented.
and he's been writing soundtracks for some of the best movies (ie, i heart huckabees, eternal sunshine, punch drunk love).
my newfound love.
I like this song a lot. I thought it was very fitting on the "Raymond" retrospective.
