Cover art for Regret lyrics by Ten Foot Pole

That line is really powerful and does make you think about whether there is such thing as a selfless deed or not. I think this song is basically about a scitzophrenic or someone going through a tough time mentally and emotionally, and feel so helpless having considered suicide, trying to make things better, and basically they're just thinking everything over and it's frustrating.
