Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Grandaddy's song "Lawn And So On" seem to be addressing a sense of stagnation, frustration, and disillusionment with the world. The singer seems to be reflecting on the futility of trying to create order and meaning in life when everything is so chaotic and unpredictable. They observe that everyone is just "bent on / Being gone" and that "every day's just a day away." They seem to be resigned to the fact that there is no real progress or advancement to be made, and that all of our efforts are ultimately futile.


At the same time, there is a sense of defiant resignation in the lyrics. The singer seems to be saying "sorry, not sorry" to the world for their own sense of disillusionment. They acknowledge that they are "a boring lifeless dove," but also seem to be pushing back against the idea that they need to "perk up" or "shape up" in order to fit in with society's norms. There is a sense that the singer is content to just exist in their own space and accept the world for what it is.


Overall, the lyrics of "Lawn And So On" capture a sense of ennui and disillusionment that many people can relate to. The song seems to be suggesting that it's okay to feel this way, and that sometimes it's better to just accept things as they are rather than trying to force some sort of order onto chaos.
