Good For You
Fruit Juice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

well that's awfully good of you to talk about something right now
that's a, a bit different from that other thing we were talkin' about
i'm glad your voice is being heard by me right now
and then when you asked me a question you certainly made it
all about yourself, and perhaps seem to think your advising me, in some way
that's good for you
that's great for you
that's good for you
i wish that i was you right now
cause i'm sure you wouldn't wish, that you were me right now if you were me right now
and especially since you wouldn't like yourself right now if you were me right now
it's probly best, you're not me right now
i hope you leave right now, hope you leave right now and now that you're gone, i'm relieved right now
but left blank and distracted, and completely lacking in direction, so thanks
i wish i was you
i wish that i was you
i wish that i was you
i know you think you mean well but in fact i don't know if you have any idea what is going on
i don't care about your esoteric sarcastic social commentaries, no matter how poignant you think they are, read your audience, life is a stage, be respectful, everyone has to pay to live here on earth, and i already paid you, so go away
all bad things here come from below
it's true that everyday i choose to live here, but do i?
do we really choose anything? i kinda don't think so
so on that note i really don't blame you for sucking right now, moreover
it sure feels good to yell
that's good for you
that's great for you
that's good for you
i wish that you were me one minute ago
cause you sure wouldn't like yourself one minute ago, sh-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-dah i hope you leave right now
i hope you leave right now




and now that you're gone, i'm relieved right now
but left blank and distracted, and completely lacking in direction so thanks

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Good For You" by Fruit Juice convey a sense of frustration and resentment towards someone who consistently shifts the conversation to focus on themselves. The singer acknowledges that it is good for this person to have their voice heard, but they also express their wish to be in their position, implying that they would not want to be in the singer's shoes. The sarcastic repetition of "that's good for you" and "that's great for you" highlights the singer's bitterness and longing to escape their current situation.


The second part of the song takes a more confrontational tone, as the singer addresses the person directly. They criticize the person's social commentaries, describing them as esoteric and sarcastic. The singer urges the person to understand their audience, suggesting that they lack respect and empathy. They express their frustration with the person's presence and emphasize the relief they feel when the person finally leaves.


The song also touches on the idea of choice and agency. The singer questions whether they truly have control over the life they are living and suggests that we may not have as much control over our circumstances as we think. This further adds to their resentment towards the person who they perceive as not understanding the challenges they face.


Overall, "Good For You" reflects the singer's frustration with someone who consistently makes the conversation about themselves, their lack of empathy, and their longing for a better situation.

@veltriv914

While I found this video informative, it would be nice to know if there is a healthy orange juice option. Ones with no added sugar make sense, but what about ones with extra pulp? Does that help? And if not, how could there not be an option that's as healthy as the fruit for something as popular as orange juice? Also isn't natural sugar from oranges different than artificial/corn syrup?

@GundryMDYT

Hi Vincent, thank you for your patience! A small amount of fresh squeezed is okay 🙂

@ethimself5064

Bang on👍👍 Although back in the 90's I had a gf that drank OJ 2-3 times a day - 8 oz. + tumbler. I told her about the sugar spikes etc. She asked when she sips a tumbler for a couple of hours is it ok, I said likely is ok at that speed. OJ was her go to like Java is for others. She made me think some on that one. Rock on👍

@Loniyke

So I guess the fibre is the important bit for those that want to avoid adding weight. I thought because it's fruit everything will be alright.

@sifugurusensei

I gave up soda. Now I gotta give up O.J. too? Life suck. I just love the taste of O.J.

@hankfrank2436

Good video, - what help me at times and is super refreshing is a glass of a 50 50 blend of cold mountain dew and OJ!!

@jessicajohnston5693

So, I have a tall glass of 50% orange juice and 50% water every morning. Is this a good way to offset the sugar or is a normal orange still better?
