Whatever
Dumb Pups Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Guess I'll just stay here forever
Cause I can do this on my own
Why can't things get fucking better
I'm under so much fucking pressure
I can't do this on my own
Any sleep
We aren't what we used to be
I'm afraid of what it's come to be
But I can do this on my own
Nothing's ever getting better
Guess I'll just lay here forever
Cause I can't do this on my own
I don't need any sleep
Any Sleep
I don't need any sleep
Cause nothing's getting better
Nothing's ever getting better
Guess I'll just lay here forever
Cause I can do this on my own
I don't need any sleep
Any sleep
The lyrics of Dumb Pups's song "Whatever" express feelings of despair, hopelessness, and a longing for things to improve. In the first verse, the singer acknowledges that nothing in their life is improving, leading them to feel that they will be stuck in the current state indefinitely. Despite this, they insist that they can handle this situation alone, perhaps indicating a sense of independence or stubbornness.
The second verse intensifies the despair and frustration felt by the singer. They express their disappointment and anger at the lack of progress and the overwhelming pressure they are under. They emphasize that they are unable to handle the situation on their own, potentially suggesting a plea for help or support.
The repetition of the phrase "I don't need any sleep" in both verses may symbolize a relentless determination or resilience. It could also indicate a disregard for self-care or a refusal to rest, metaphorically suggesting that they are constantly fighting against their circumstances.
The third verse reveals a fear of the deterioration of a relationship or a personal identity. The singer is no longer satisfied with the current state of affairs and is afraid of what it has become. Despite this fear, they still believe they can handle it alone, although the repetition of the line "Cause I can't do this on my own" suggests a sense of contradiction or confusion.
In the final verse, the repetition of the line "Nothing's ever getting better" emphasizes the theme of hopelessness and pessimism. The singer reiterates their belief that they will remain in their current state indefinitely, resigning themselves to a stagnant existence. The repeated phrase "I don't need any sleep" reinforces their determination to endure, even though they acknowledge that nothing is improving.
Overall, the lyrics of "Whatever" express a mix of despair, frustration, and a yearning for change. The repeated insistence on independence and perseverance, despite the acknowledgement of being unable to handle the situation alone, highlights the internal struggle and conflicting emotions experienced by the singer.

What an amazing song! Love it. But I'm afraid the lyrics contain a small mistake.
It is:
But when I try to remember
All the pain that we've been through
Something in me says “whatever”
And it brings me back to you
But it should be:
But when I try to remember
All the pain that we've been through
Then I realize the pain
It was mostly caused by you

Can we make surroundings be better for now
Every time something you waste,
it makes you feeling down
should we known that there is something wrong
we could change
everytime we try to save
it always ends the same
But when we try to remember
all the pain
that we've cost through
Something in me says
whatever,
and it brings me back to earth
Our earth
don't know,
how people foolished now
so many times before
the people try to change
our earth
too late
to make it done and save
if we go down in flames
again then we couldn't blame
our earth
oh earth, okay
we couldn't blame
my love earth (2×)

My stupid heart
Don't know
I've tried to let you go
So many times before
Then wound up at your door
My stupid...
Can't believe that I haven't figured out by now
Every time I call you up
All you do is let me down
Should have known there was nothing about us I could change
Every time we try to be friends it always ends the same
But when I try to remember
All the pain that we've been through
Something in me says "whatever"
And it brings me back to you
My stupid heart
Don't know
I've tried to let you go
So many times before
Then wound up at your door
My stupid heart
Too late
Already on my way
If we go down in flames
Again then you can blame my stupid heart
You can blame my stupid heart
You can blame my stupid...
Every now and then I get inside my head
Try to leave your text unread
But I wind up here instead
I should have bit my tongue while we were still ahead
Yeah, I always had to be right
'Til we had nothing left
But when I try to remember
All the pain that we've been through
Something in me says "whatever"
And it brings me back to you
My stupid heart
Don't know
I've tried to let you go
So many times before
Then wound up at your door
My stupid heart
Too late
Already on my way
If we go down in flames
Again then you can blame my stupid heart
You can blame my stupid heart
I've tried to let you go
So many times before
You can blame my stupid heart
Too late
Already on my way
If we go down in flames
Again then you can blame my stupid heart
Too late
Already on my way
If we go down in flames
Again then you can blame my stupid heart
