Figure It Out
Lo-Ball Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It sure wasn't like Camelot
You don't know what you want except for more
And you're sitting so still again
There's nobody to blame when you're insecure
You twist my words around too much
I'm getting dizzy from the smell of urinal mints down the hall
Just go
Figure it out
And now, it's all about giving up
But nothing I do's enough, you make no sense
Still it's all just a game to you
My opinions are strange to you ...at least they're meant
You're talking at me, and now it's comin' down
Figure it out
I hate the way I'm doing this so I can be alright to somebody else
I heard you say, "You don't know what it's all about"
But if you try you'll figure it out.
Lo-Ball's song Figure It Out is about a tough relationship in which one partner doesn't know what they want. The singer is frustrated with their partner's indecisiveness and insecurity. The partner twists the singer's words around and makes them feel dizzy with their behavior. The singer realizes that nothing they do is enough for their partner and that their opinions are strange to them. Despite this, the partner treats the relationship like a game, causing the singer to question their own approach to the situation. The singer hates that they have to change themselves to be okay in the relationship and feels like their partner doesn't understand what's going on. However, the singer tells their partner that if they try to figure it out, they might understand.

It sure wasn't like Camelot
The situation is far from perfect or ideal
You don't know what you want except for more
You are always wanting more without knowing what exactly you want
And you're sitting so still again
You are remaining in your comfort zone despite your restlessness to explore new things
There's nobody to blame when you're insecure
Insecurity is a feeling that originates from within and not necessarily from external factors
You twist my words around too much
You misinterpret what I say, causing confusion and frustration
I'm getting dizzy from the smell of urinal mints down the hall
The environment is unpleasant, making it difficult to think clearly
Just go
Leave, and stop wasting my time and energy
You're talking at me, wondering if you count
You are talking to me without really listening or valuing my input
Figure it out
Find a solution to your problems and take responsibility for your actions
And now, it's all about giving up
You have lost hope and motivation to improve the situation
But nothing I do's enough, you make no sense
You keep changing the rules, making it impossible to satisfy you
Still it's all just a game to you
You don't take things seriously or consider the consequences of your actions
My opinions are strange to you ...at least they're meant
You don't understand or agree with my opinions, but I stand by them
And now it's coming down
The situation has reached a critical point
I hate the way I'm doing this so I can be alright to somebody else
I dislike the fact that I am compromising my own desires to please someone else
I heard you say, "You don't know what it's all about"
You are belittling my understanding of the situation
But if you try you'll figure it out.
If you put in the effort and take a new approach, you can find a solution to the problem
