Decade Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You turn up the volume on the radio
You drown out my voice and I give up
(How did this fuck up).

Driving in your car never felt so slow
I couldn't wait to leave and never come back again.

The only thing that's keeping you

Is your attitude.

I spend these nights wide awake
Reliving choices I made
From every word that I said
To every show we played.

I'm not saying that punk rock saved my life
But it taught me how to do this right.
Go home and rethink your game
You talk cheap and you'll stay the same.

Where the hell were you?
It took you so long
I'm getting older day by day.
And for you I won't hold on.

The only thing that's keeping you
From moving on is you.

I spend these nights wide awake
Reliving choices I made
From every word that I said
To every show we played.

I'm not saying that punk rock saved my life
But it taught me how to do this right.
Go home and rethink your game
You talk cheap and you'll stay the same.

I'm in trouble now
I'm saying too much.
Don't want to push my luck.

I mean trouble now.

I spend these nights wide awake
Reliving choices I made
From every word that I said
To every show we played.

I'm not saying that punk rock saved my life
But it taught me how to do this right.

Go home and rethink your game
You talk cheap and you'll stay the same.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Decade's "Good Luck" describe a relationship that has gone sour. The singer is clearly unhappy and at a loss for what to do next. In the first verse, the singer is trying to communicate with their partner, turning up the volume on the radio, but their partner drowns out their voice. The singer is frustrated and unsure of how their relationship got to be in such a bad state.

In the chorus, the singer tries to convey the fact that the only thing keeping their partner from moving on is their own attitude. The singer then spends nights wide awake, remembering every choice they have made in their relationship, from every word they said to every show they played. The punk rock genre "taught [the singer] how to do this right" and to understand how to move on from something that is causing frustration and unhappiness. The song ends on an ominous note, with the singer realizing that they may be saying too much and not wanting to "push [their] luck."

"Good Luck" is an emotional, introspective song that explores the complexities of a relationship that has run its course. The lyrics describe feelings of frustration, regret, and introspection. The punk rock undertones of the song add to its emotional intensity, and the overall message of the song is one of hope and self-discovery.

Punk rock didn't save my life, but it taught me important lessons. You need to re-evaluate yourself and your actions; cheap talk won't amount to anything.

Where the hell were you? It took you so long I'm getting older day by day. And for you I won't hold on.
You took forever to show up, and I'm not willing to wait around for you while time passes me by.

The only thing that's keeping you From moving on is you.
You're holding yourself back from progressing.

I'm in trouble now I'm saying too much. Don't want to push my luck. I mean trouble now.
I can sense that I'm about to make things worse by speaking out more, I don't want to risk it.
