I've Been Kicked Around

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whatta ya see, am I alright?
I'm alright
Well, I've been kicked around
Whatta ya see, am I alright?
I'm alright
I once had a heart
Chewed up, then spat out
Like a cherry pit
And if I seem a little hard
It's just that I've been kicked around
I don't know how I got this far
The way that I've been kicked around
Well, I've been kicked around
Whatta ya see, am I alright?
I'm alright
Well, I've been kicked around
Whatta ya see, am I alright?
I'm alright
I once had a soul
It was torn from me
I won't cry a tear
I will carry me
And if I seem a little hard
It's just that I've been kicked around
I don't know how I got this far
The way that I've been kicked around
Don't worry
I'm alright
So if I seem a little hard
It's just that I've been kicked around
I don't know how I got this far
The way that I've been kicked around
The way that I've been kicked around
The song "I've Been Kicked Around" by E (Mark Oliver Everett) is a melancholic and introspective track about enduring hardships. The lyrics depict a person who appears to have been through a lot and has been "kicked around" in life. The opening lines "Whatta ya see, am I alright? I'm alright" suggest that the singer is looking for validation from someone, perhaps a friend or loved one. They have been through a lot and want to be assured that they appear fine to others.
The chorus, which repeats throughout the song, emphasizes the toll that the hardships have taken on the singer: "I've been kicked around, whatta ya see, am I alright? I'm alright." This suggests that despite everything they have been through, they are still pushing through and trying to appear composed and "alright."
The second verse reveals that the singer has had their heart and soul ripped out, but they refuse to shed a tear. It's possible that they have become emotionally numb and detached from their feelings as a result of the trauma they have endured. The lines "And if I seem a little hard, it's just that I've been kicked around" reinforce this idea, as they suggest that the singer has become tough and guarded as a result of their experiences.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the struggle to overcome adversity and continue on despite being "kicked around" by life.

Well, I've been kicked around
I've experienced a lot of hardship and mistreatment
Whatta ya see, am I alright?
Do you think I'm doing okay despite all that's happened to me?
I'm alright
I may have been through hard times, but I'm still okay
I once had a heart
I used to be more open and trusting of others
I was ripped from it
Someone or something caused me a great deal of emotional pain
Chewed up, then spat out
The emotional pain I went through was severe and left me feeling used and discarded
Like a cherry pit
The experience was especially bitter and difficult
And if I seem a little hard
If I come across as unapproachable or untrusting, it's because of everything I've been through
I don't know how I got this far
Despite the difficulties I've faced, I'm surprised I've made it as far as I have
Don't worry
You don't need to be concerned for me, I can handle myself
I once had a soul
I used to feel more deeply and be more connected to myself
It was torn from me
Something happened that caused me to feel lost or disconnected from my sense of self
I won't cry a tear
I'm determined not to let my past suffering continue to affect me
I will carry me
I'll look after myself and try to find my way forward despite everything that's happened
The way that I've been kicked around
The many struggles I've faced and the pain I've endured
