I personally believe the live version of this song is better than the studio album version.
As for the song, to me it’s about depression. “There never really is a good time. And there’s always nothing much to say. Pretty good, not doing that fine, getting up most every day.”
When you’re depressed you tend to stay in bed. This is coming from someone who battles depression daily. It’s constant, you don’t want to deal with the outside world. So when someone asks you how you’re doing it’s usually a go to just to say “Pretty good.”
“Stepping out I tried to fix it, pull the thumb out of that hole, give me ingredients I’ll mix it. How can you move without a goal?”
Basically it’s dealing with the everyday or whatever problems you have to face.
“An excuse is all you’re in for. The abuse is all you crave. Sure you know just what is in store. Wait and see if I behave.”
Sounds like a message to the person who put you through hell and left you depressed. But overall wants you to get over it and deal.
That’s just my opinion. Let me know if yours differs.
