Cover art for A Little Better lyrics by Gnarls Barkley

This song is about how trials can bring you feelings of a higher quality than the ones you've had before. Compare to the song "Finer Feelings" by Spoon. "you dont' have to be grown to go" he learned at a young age to feel deeper things than he had before. Corey Austin once said "If you want to give a man a muse, stab him with a knife and twist." and it holds true for many artists. He says that he's had pain in him, but it's given him a sense of purpose-- he's going to do big things (which is probably what he's doing singing) and says "The circumstances put soul in me... I've got a heart made of gold in me" Overall, he realizes that he needed to go through the fire in order to refine himself. He feels better about his trials, because he realizes they had a purpose. After all the world has done, he's come out alive, and he's optimistic about it.
