tried to be friendly
Innpeach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The baby of the better times hates you
So you´ll know just where to go
In this one world that´s never enough for two
When you show your secret goal
Tried to be friendly , now everybody hates me for it
Don´t believe that I could do it again
Too many worries and nobody gave me credit
My saviour´s your demon in the shade
When you crawl , she gives you a call
Yeah , but hey man , don´t blow these minds I´ve made
To be a wall for a baby doll
Having fun is an obligation
A bad habit , a twisted sensation
But don´t worry darling
´cause I really hate to smile when I´m feeling bad
you know that I´m the little f**ker that taints you all
I´m the bad perpetrator , the looser on the wall
Here I go , I break , I never really hesitate
And everything´s great
These lyrics speak to the struggle of trying to be friendly and make connections with others, only to face rejection and judgment. The first few lines describe how someone who is perceived as being from a "better time" hates the singer, likely because of envy or resentment. The lyrics then touch on the idea that this world can be challenging for two people to share, particularly because of secrets and hidden agendas. The singer then reflects on how they tried to be friendly and were met with hate as a result. The singer doesn't believe they could put themselves out there again, because of the lack of credit they received and too many worries. The following lines suggest that the singer doesn't hate the other person, but they're also not friends. When the singer is in a vulnerable position, their "savior" is actually someone's "demon." Ultimately, the singer acknowledges that fun is important, but they take issue with the idea that it's an obligation or a twisted habit. The final lines claim that the singer is the "little f**ker" that taints everyone and is seen as a bad perpetrator and a loser. However, the singer doesn't hesitate and finds everything to be great.
Overall, the lyrics convey the emotions of someone who is struggling to connect with others and is dealing with the aftermath of trying to do so. The singer seems to be somewhat jaded but also reflective on what went wrong.
Line by Line Meaning
The baby of the better times hates you
You are despised by the symbol of prosperity and happiness
So you´ll know just where to go
Your unpopularity will guide you to a specific destination
In this one world that´s never enough for two
The world is incapable of satisfying the desires of more than one person
When you show your secret goal
Once your true aspiration is revealed
Tried to be friendly , now everybody hates me for it
My sincere attempts to be amiable has led to widespread animosity
Don´t believe that I could do it again
My abilities are doubted and questioned
Too many worries and nobody gave me credit
I am burdened by concerns and struggles, but receive no recognition or acknowledgement
Don´t think that I hate you , though you´re not my friend
Despite not being friends, I do not hold any resentment towards you
My saviour´s your demon in the shade
The one who rescues me is the same entity that torments you from afar
When you crawl , she gives you a call
Whenever you are in a vulnerable state, she reaches out to you
Yeah , but hey man , don´t blow these minds I´ve made
Please do not cause any chaos or confusion among those I have influenced
To be a wall for a baby doll
To provide a safeguard for someone who is susceptible and fragile
Having fun is an obligation
Pleasure-seeking is expected and mandatory
A bad habit , a twisted sensation
Indulging in this behavior is both harmful and distorted
But don´t worry darling
There is no need for concern or distress, my dear
´cause I really hate to smile when I´m feeling bad
I prefer not to feign happiness when I am experiencing negative emotions
you know that I´m the little f**ker that taints you all
I am the small but influential negative force that contaminates everything
I´m the bad perpetrator , the looser on the wall
I am the one responsible for wrongdoing, the loser who is powerless
Here I go , I break , I never really hesitate
I am ready to take risks, unafraid of potential failure
And everything´s great
Despite any setbacks or obstacles, everything is going well
