That's All
Genesis Genesis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I found out I'm wrong, when I thought I was right
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could say day and you'd say night
Tell it's black when I know that it's white
Always the same, it's just a shame and that's all
I could leave but I won't go
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
But why does it always seem to be
Me lookin' at you with you lookin' at me
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Turnin' me on, turnin' me off
Makin' me feel like I want too much
Livin' with you's just a-puttin' me through it all of the time
Runnin' around, stayin' out all night
Takin' it all 'stead of takin' one bite
Livin' with you's just a-puttin' me through it all of the time
Well, I could leave but I won't go
Well, it'd be easier I know
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
But why does it always seem to be
Me lookin' at you, you lookin' at me
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Truth is I love you, more than I wanted to
There's no point in tryin' to pretend
There's been no one who makes me feel like you do
Say we'll be together 'til the end
Yeah
Where I could leave but I won't go
It'd be easier I know
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
So why does it always seem to be
Me lookin' at you, you lookin' at me
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
But I love you, more than I wanted to
There's no point in trying to pretend
There's been no one who makes me feel like you do
Say we'll be together 'til the end
But just as I thought it was goin' alright
I found out I'm wrong when I thought I was right
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Well, I could say day and you say night
Tell me it's black when I know that it's white
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
That's all

Line by Line Meaning
Just as I thought it was goin' alright
I believed everything was going well
I found out I'm wrong, when I thought I was right
I realized that I was mistaken despite thinking I was correct
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
The pattern of disappointment is recurring, and it's a pity
I could say day and you'd say night
We can never seem to agree on anything
Tell it's black when I know that it's white
You always contradict me, regardless of what I know to be true
Always the same, it's just a shame and that's all
The situation is ever-repeating, and it's a disgrace
I could leave but I won't go
Despite desiring to depart, I am choosing to remain
Though my heart might tell me so
My emotions may urge me otherwise
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
I am numb as a result of this tumultuous relationship
But why does it always seem to be
Despite everything, it still feels like the same scenario every time
Me lookin' at you with you lookin' at me
We're locked in perpetual conflict
Turnin' me on, turnin' me off
You're incredibly fickle and inconsistent in affecting my emotions
Makin' me feel like I want too much
I cannot be content with the amount you provide despite your efforts to please
Livin' with you's just a-puttin' me through it all of the time
Living together is a constant struggle
Runnin' around, stayin' out all night
You engage in irresponsible behavior and neglect our relationship
Takin' it all 'stead of takin' one bite
You bite off more than you can chew
Well, it'd be easier I know
Leaving the relationship would be simpler
Truth is I love you, more than I wanted to
Honestly, I have deeper feelings for you than I intended to have
There's no point in tryin' to pretend
There's no reason to be dishonest about our connection
There's been no one who makes me feel like you do
No one has been able to arouse the passion within me that you can
Say we'll be together 'til the end
Promise you'll stay with me until the end of our lives
That's all
The situation is what it is

It would have been an amazing song for the GTA 6 trailer too. I guess rockstar is just gonna surprise us someday.
@carsoncrews
Didn't expect to see you here hello
@lancecorporalrookie8321
Love your content, also, this whole gta 6 fiasco was the most down bad if u r here lol, ngl, even i found myself clicking on clickbait bcuz i want to see the trailerš
@jmwFILMS
We just want answers so bad lol. I wont be surprised though if the trailer doesn't come out until 2024/5.
@lancecorporalrookie8321
@@jmwFILMS yea, tho this might be me coping hard with hopium, but i will say if it doesnt happen, then it doesnt happen, but rn the halloween event is a bit strange, especially with them celebrating day of the dead, im hispanic and i found it a bit strange that day of the dead is ending nov 1, despite it being a 2 day event, nov1-2, i was born on nov2, but on nov 2, the 1st gtav trailer came out, conviently, its a thursday, a week b4 the investor call; to side track a bit, after the 26th, i ended up watching dark space videos, and in a part of the video, they showed the time it took for rockstar to make their games, gta4 took 3.5 yrs, gta5 took 3 yrs, rdr2 says it took 8 but i reckon it most likely took 5-6yr with a 2-3yr planning process, and we can assume it prolly took those other games around 5 years, the footage of 6 was b4 2020, what if development of the game started around 2017? If they were to release 6 next year of late 24 to early 25, it would be around 6 years of development, they did put out a game like rdr2. Another thing to note, y would rockstar release a trailer or announcement on a day everyone is expecting one, what if the days that everyone was expecting something was right, but the dates were wrong? What if they do something on nov2 thurs day, and showcase something on nov 7, conviently a tuesday, literally a day b4 T2s call? Just a thoery of mine but im gonna go with 50% hopium and 50% theyre not gonna do anything, then again, if nothing doesnt happen, we could expect a trailer early next year of 2024
