Heartland Feeling Lyrics

Cover art for Heartland Feeling lyrics by Beck

Sam is the only one who is talked about in the past tense.

he was only a person who didn't know shit

was rather than is, didnt rather than doesnt.

So the question is, did getting fired at the cannery make him realize his shitty life and he then went on to become more than a "person who doesnt know shit"

or, did he kill himself?
