Smothered Lyrics
I can't tell, I think I might be going crazy
Just wanna leave it all behind
Been on the brink for many years, I'm thinking
Feels like I'm running out of time
I"m getting sick and tired, giving everything
I've got, I get nothing in return
I can't breathe
This never-ending madness, raining down on me
Like a ton of bricks, face in the dirt
Childish delusions, they say it's just a fantasy
You're no good, no chance, you'll never learn
Just give it up and come back to reality
Your dreams are none of my concern
You're nor skinny enough
You're too fat
You're not good enough
You're too tall, you're too short
You're too average
Your skin is not the right color
Sorry, not good enough
You don't speak the right language
You're not smart enough
You should be ashamed of yourself
You're nothing but a loser
No wonder you get no respect
Because you deserve no respect
You'll never succeed, so don't bother trying
Give it up, give up your dreams
Lined up, one by one
They try to bring you down
Don't ever listen what they say
Determination, the battle will be won
And all the pain will go away
Just wanna leave it all behind
Been on the brink for many years, I'm thinking
Feels like I'm running out of time
I've got, I get nothing in return
I can't breathe
Like a ton of bricks, face in the dirt
You're no good, no chance, you'll never learn
Just give it up and come back to reality
Your dreams are none of my concern
You're too fat
You're not good enough
You're too tall, you're too short
You're too average
Your skin is not the right color
Sorry, not good enough
You're not smart enough
You should be ashamed of yourself
You're nothing but a loser
No wonder you get no respect
Because you deserve no respect
You'll never succeed, so don't bother trying
Give it up, give up your dreams
They try to bring you down
Don't ever listen what they say
Determination, the battle will be won
And all the pain will go away

i think that this song is about bullying and prejudice... at the beginning and the chorus it seems to speak about how the victim feels and then progresses to the words of the bully or intolerant person and at the end it seems to be a message from dave or jeff telling the victim to stand strong and that one day this will be over and they will be fine
@-the-decieved- You're right pal
@-the-decieved- You're right pal
This song is about the feelings of frustration, disillusionment, and the struggle for self-acceptance in the face of external pressure and criticism. It speaks to the challenges of staying true to oneself in the face of criticism, societal expectations, and the pressure to conform.
