Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All this shit shines in my head
And I’ve found you’ve found someone else
Buy a car, get fucked, be dead
You and me have got to find have got to find a place to sleep
You and me have got to get away from all these whores and freaks
You and me have got to find have got to find a place to sleep
Even though I’ve done you wrong
I don’t wanna be a good kid
Just tell me what to think
And I wanna be forgotten
When I’m gone you’ll have a drink
The lyrics of Bass Drum of Death's song "I Wanna Be Forgotten" express the desire for escape and a break from problems. The opening two lines, "I need respite from my problems/All this shit shines in my head," display the weight of the singer's issues and how they seem to be glimmering and overwhelming. The following line reveals that the singer has recently had to deal with heartbreak as he states, "And I’ve found you’ve found someone else," which could have been a trigger for his problems. The singer's reaction to this situation is intriguing and nihilistic. The line "Buy a car, get fucked, be dead" shows his disregard for material objects and impassivity towards life, with nothing seeming to matter. He then calls out for companionship, someone to help him escape his problems, and states this twice. The phrase "all these whores and freaks" conveys his intense frustration with the people surrounding him.
