Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't like you anyway
I don't need your shit today
You're pathetic,in your own way
I feel for you, better fuckin' go away
I will behave, better fuckin' go away
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm doing the best I ever did
I don't need to fantasize
You are my pet, all the time
I don't mind if you go blind
You get what you get
Until you're through with mine
Life,I feel for you, better fuckin' go away
I will behave, you better go away
I feel for you, better fuckin' go away
I will behave, you better go away
I'm doing the best I ever did
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm doing the best I ever did
Now go away!
I'm doing the best I ever did

The song "Whatever" by Godsmack is about someone who is fed up and has had enough of another person's behavior. The singer wonders why the other person is still in their lives, referring to them as "pathetic, in their own way." The chorus repeats the message that the person needs to go away because they are causing stress and trouble in the singer's life. The singer acknowledges that they are doing the best they can, and they do not need the other person's negativity in their life. The repeated message of "go away" is a plea for the other person to leave them alone.
The powerful lyrics in this song could be interpreted in a variety of ways, depending on the listener's perspective. The singer may be dealing with a toxic relationship or simply standing up for themselves in a difficult situation. Regardless, the message is clear - sometimes it is necessary to cut toxic people out of our lives in order to strive for our own happiness.

You're pathetic, in your own way

Until you are finished with what belongs to me
Now go away!
Please leave now
