Karma
Diffuser Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The worst is the best thing that I ever knew,
Moses is my friend,
Since I'm playing second fiddle in the duet,
Paying for what I am regretting
(chorus)
Sometimes you get what you want,
But your always gonna get what you deserve,
It's all about what you want,
If you can get what you need,
You're always gonna get what...
Elvis isn't dead,
He's just on vacation with Van Morrison,
Sold my soul again,
While I was whistling Dixie in a panic,
Powers above were clapping franticly
(chorus x3 1/2)
The lyrics to Diffuser's song Karma are quite intriguing and thought-provoking. The first line, "Starting from the end," sets the tone for the rest of the song. It suggests that the singer is reflecting back on their life and realizing that sometimes the unexpected or seemingly worst things can turn out to be the best, as expressed in the line, "The worst is the best thing that I ever knew."
The mention of Moses as a friend and playing second fiddle in the duet suggests that the singer may feel like they are not in control of their life and are just going along with the flow. This feeling is emphasized by the line, "Paying for what I am regretting," which suggests that the singer has made some mistakes in their life and are now facing the consequences.
The chorus highlights the theme of karma and suggests that our actions determine what we ultimately receive in life. The line, "Sometimes you get what you want, sometimes you get what you need, but you're always gonna get what you deserve," emphasizes the idea that we cannot escape the consequences of our actions. The singer acknowledges that it's all about what we want and need, but ultimately what we deserve will come to us.

Starting from the end,
The song is beginning with the end of a situation or experience.
The worst is the best thing that I ever knew,
This difficult experience is actually valuable and has taught me an important lesson
Moses is my friend,
In times of hardship, I turn to the familiar and the comforting
Since I'm playing second fiddle in the duet,
I'm not the main protagonist or decision-maker in this situation
Paying for what I am regretting
I am facing consequences for choices I now regret
Sometimes you get what you want,
Occasionally life grants our wishes
Sometimes you get what you need,

But you're always gonna get what you deserve,
Ultimately, fate or karma will catch up with us and we'll receive what we deserve based on our actions
It's all about what you want,
Our desires play a major role in what we pursue in life
If you can get what you need,
It can be difficult to differentiate between wants and needs, but fulfilling both can lead to satisfaction

Life will continue to deliver what we deserve based on our past and present actions
Elvis isn't dead,
Something we believe to be gone or lost may just be temporarily absent
He's just on vacation with Van Morrison,
Metaphorically speaking, what we believe to be missing may still be enjoying a fulfilling experience
Sold my soul again,
Compromising ourselves or our values for personal gain or survival can take a toll on us
While I was whistling Dixie in a panic,
I was trying to maintain calm and positivity in a difficult situation
Powers above were clapping frantically
Others with power or control over the situation may be excited or amused by our struggles
