Ain't Fit to Live Here
Graveyard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got no friends
Only people that I know
They seems so nice to me
And I don't even work (?)

Looking out the window
At the place I want to go
I thought if I stay here
My head will explode

I ain't fit to live here
Among the people of my time
No, I ain't fit for nothing
Just wanna leave the world behind
If I don't get my head straight
I'll never chase them here again
But if they try to push me
I won't make it here alive

Outside the rain is pouring
The time is passing by
I'm thinking of the passed weeks
But my memory is blind
Someone ?
Then I never would've come
But why should I bother
?

I ain't fit to live here
Among the people of my time
No, I ain't fit for nothing
Just wanna leave world behind
If I don't get my head straight
I'll never chase them here again
But if they try to push me
I won't make it here alive

People ask me what is wrong,
I don't see what's right,
Can't get my thoughts together,
I'm still asking why,
Random days keep passing by,
Don't make sense to me,
I'll stop myself from leaving,
'cause I know where it will lead, alright
I know where it will lead,
I know where it will lead,
Cause know where it will lead.

Why ? ghost
For me to ? dead
Like the cat who caught the rabbit
?

I ain't fit to live here
Among the people of my time
No, I ain't fit for nothing
Just wanna leave world behind
If I don't get my head straight
I'll never chase them here again
But if they try to push me
I won't make it here alive

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Graveyard's song Ain't Fit to Live Here convey a sense of disconnection and alienation from the world around the singer. The first verse speaks to the lack of genuine friendship in their life, with only superficial interactions with people they know. They express a desire to leave where they are, believing that staying could lead to a mental breakdown. In the chorus, the singer declares that they don't belong among the people of their time and wishes to leave the world behind. They feel unable to connect with others, indicating that they won't be able to return if they leave, and may not survive if they are pressured to remain.


As the song continues, the singer expresses confusion and disorientation. They wonder why a ghost is waiting for them to die and compare themselves to a cat catching a rabbit. This symbolism could suggest that they feel trapped, like a predator in a small enclosure. They still feel lost and uncertain, unable to make sense of the passing days. Despite knowing that leaving may lead to a bad outcome, they declare their intention to stop themselves from doing so, suggesting that they are caught in a cycle of feeling disconnected and unfulfilled.

They seem so nice to me, but I don't even know
Looking out the window, at the place I wanna go
I sure wish I could stay here, my head it will explode

I ain't fit to live here, among people of my time
No I ain't fit for nothin', just wanna leave the world behind
If I don't get my head straight, I'll never chase them here again
But if you try to push me, I wont make it here alive

Outside the rain is pouring, and time is passing by
I'm thinkin' about the passed weeks, but my memory is blank
So the days in my life, don't know where to go
But why should I bother, to see my point of life is gone

I ain't fit to live here, among people of my time

I know where it will lead, I know where it will lead
Cause know where it will lead, all right

All of my ghosts, didn't think of anything
Like the dog who caught the rabbit, Don't wanna change no more

I ain't fit to live here, among people of my time
No I ain't fit for nothin', just wanna leave the world behind
If I don't get my head straight, I'll never chase them here again
But if you try to push me, I wont make it here alive

Never heard of this band before. A friend of mine just presented it to me. For someone who's stuck in the 70's/80's songs like me, this is heaven.
