In an era marked by pervasive disillusionment and existential angst, this song articulates the profound sense of frustration and emotional numbness experienced by individuals grappling with modern life's complexities. The lyrics vividly depict a state of mental paralysis where fundamental human experiences—such as laughter, love, and sleep—become unattainable. The repeated plea for "something to take the edge off" reflects a desperate search for temporary relief from overwhelming despair. Furthermore, the imagery of wanting to "put a chainsaw through the wall" symbolizes an intense desire to break free from societal constraints and emotional confinement. Ultimately, the song critiques contemporary existence as "a waste of time," encapsulating a collective sentiment of futility and yearning for escape in an increasingly alienating world.
So Called Life
Lyrics
Can't laugh, can't cry, can't live, can't die
Can't do anything anymore, no
Can't love, can't breath, can't talk, can't sleep
But I can't seem to stay awake anymore, oh
What a time to be alive
Such a waste of fucking time
Oh, gimme something to take the edge off
Something to kick the night off
Something to keep my mind off
This so called life
Oh, gimme something to take the edge off
Something to kick the night off
Something to keep my mind off
This so called life
Feels like I wanna jump
Wanna scream, wanna run
Wanna fucking put a chainsaw through the wall, yeah
Feels like I'm living in a world where everybody's all for none
And none for all, yeah
What a time to be alive
Such a waste of fucking time
Oh, gimme something to take the edge off
Something to kick the night off
Something to keep my mind off
This so called life
Oh, gimme something to take the edge off
Something to kick the night off
Something to keep my mind off
This so called life
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
Such a waste of fucking time
Feels like I wanna jump
Wanna scream, wanna run
Wanna fucking put a chainsaw through the wall
Oh, gimme something
Oh, gimme something
Oh, gimme something to take the edge off
Something to kick the night off
Something to keep my mind off
This so called life
Oh, gimme something to take the edge off
Something to kick the night off
Something to keep my mind off
This so called life
