Cover art for Tip lyrics by Finger Eleven

"I try to cancel out Whatever I can't laugh about" "I've done my worst and no one knows" "One more day to fool them all One more day to drop the ball One more day to fade away"

It's a song about doing the same thing over and over and failing every time and not being able to improve, but he's been getting away with it every time. Each day he makes the same mistakes and it doesn't seem to matter. Whatever about it he can't enjoy/understand, though, he ignores or "cancels out".

"Fill a head with sand just to make it better I had the chance to beat it in but I never I should have taken it right then"

He's had chances to make things better or to make things less stressful/depressing/demanding, but he's always looked over them or disregarded them as unimportant. He sometimes wishes he could go back and take those chances.

My interpretation, sort of a deep song from an awesome album.
