what's the use
Fastbacks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And people's words have me floored
There's not much that you can say
That's not been said some other way
I don't think that it's so wrong
Try to run, stumble along
Follow what's inside your heart
If something there sets you apart
That I even know you
I don't want to do
Anything that I see you do
It gets harder every day
To figure out of I'm okay
I don't like the way things go
No one asked me, I don't know
There are fewer reasons left
Why I should take another breath
What's the use of reasoning?
What's the use of anything?
I don't really think
That I even know you
I don't want to do
Anything that I see you do
Really wish that I didn't even know you
Doesn't matter what
Doesn't matter if I want to
The song "What's the use in 2-3" by Fastbacks is a reflection on the struggle and confusion that accompanies trying to find one's own path in life. The lyrics of the song suggest that the singer is not quite sure who they are or what they want out of life. They express a sense of frustration with their own lack of clarity and feeling like they are living in someone else's shadow. The repetitive phrase "what's the use" seems to suggest that the singer is in a state of hopelessness and doesn't see the point in trying to figure things out anymore.
On a deeper level, the song may also be commenting on the pressures of conformity and the difficulty of breaking free from the expectations of others. The lines "I don't want to do anything that I see you do" and "no one asked me, I don't know" suggest that the singer is struggling to find their own identity and make their own choices, rather than simply following in the footsteps of others.
