Cover art for Be Good To Yourself lyrics by Journey

"Runnin' out of self-control Gettin' close to an overload Up against a no win situation"

Running out of self control could mean that he's beginning to do things that he shouldn't and getting close to an overload means he's getting to the point where he can't stop. He's up against a no win situation because of things that he's either already done or things that are beyond his control.

"Shoulder to shoulder, push and shove I'm hangin' up my boxin' gloves I'm ready for a long vacation"

Push and shove because he's competing with someone/something but he's hanging up his boxing gloves because he's done fighting and he's ready for a long vacation from all of the bullshit.

"Be good to yourself when, nobody else will Oh be good to yourself"

Love and be good to yourself even though nobody seems to be there for you.

"You're walkin' a high-wire, caught in a crossfire Oh be good to yourself"

Taking risks and being caught in the middle of everything, but still be good to yourself.

"When you can't give no more They want it all but you gotta say no I'm turnin' off the noise that makes me crazy"

Don't keep giving everything that you have just because they ask for it because you need some of it for yourself. Just ignore them because the sound of them makes you crazy.

"Lookin' back with no regrets To forgive is to forget I want a little piece of mind to turn to"

Even if you've had a bad past you can't regret anything. As soon as you can forgive yourself you'll forget all of the bad and then you can be at peace with yourself.
