Good Intentions
For Love Not Lisa Lyrics

The song "Good Intentions" by For Love Not Lisa is an emotional exploration of trauma and its effects on decision-making. The singer talks about their struggle to overcome past trauma and how it has affected their ability to navigate through life's challenges. The opening lines of the song introduce a new list, which serves as a metaphor for the singer's attempt to organize their thoughts and actions. However, despite their efforts to stay true to size and fit into the mess, they seem to be failing as they state they have made it too tall. The trauma they have experienced has also led to weak decisions, leaving them feeling weak.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of fitting into the mess, but it's not a choice the singer has made willingly. They feel forced to fit the mold that has been created for them by others. They have tried to tame their trauma, but it has left them feeling broken and weak. The second verse mirrors the first, with the same lines about indivision, worst tuition, and weak decisions.

The bridge of the song encourages the listener to start something up, to break free from the mold that has been created for them, and to choose their own path. While the singer has been forced to fit into a mold, they suggest that starting something new can help them break free from the decay and take control of their life.
