It Gets Better
Madchild Lyrics

I don't know if it gets better
The singer is unsure about the future and whether things will improve

I never pray for stones but this house just ain't a home
The singer doesn't wish for difficult situations, but recognizes that the current environment is not a comfortable place to be

I never pray for pain but sometimes that's what it takes to change
The singer doesn't want to experience hardships, but acknowledges that it can be necessary for personal growth and transformation

I made my share of bad mistakes and felt so much pain
The artist has made errors and suffered a great deal as a result

Left a broken heart and left the people that I love drain
The artist's actions have hurt those closest to them

I've been to hell and back, you can tell 'em that,
The singer has experienced intense suffering and emerged from it

But now I'm back, holding bars like I'm a fellon trapped
The singer is now making music and expressing themselves despite feeling trapped like a convict

Spittin acapella raps, opposite of hella whack,
The artist is confident in their musical abilities and style

Feeling like a kid again, rock like heavy metal tracks,
The artist is energized and enjoying themselves like they did as a child

I'm learning not to judge, never call the kettle black
The artist is trying to be more compassionate and avoid hypocrisy

Close your black umbrella let the rain fall and just settle back,
The singer is encouraging the listener to accept their problems and relax, rather than resisting them

Let the water fall and let it wash away the pain,
The artist suggests that allowing oneself to feel emotions can be therapeutic and healing

Rep the people on the fence cause I'm a monster that's insane,
The singer identifies with and supports those who feel conflicted and misunderstood

Stripes like a zebra, we'll get what we deserve,
The singer believes that everyone will eventually receive the consequences of their actions

This is not a fucking comeback, it's a rebirth
The singer sees their current state as a complete transformation and not merely a return to their former self

I had to go through all the suffering and the pain,
The artist recognizes that their hardships were necessary for their personal growth

To realize I've had enough and I finally want to change,
The artist has reached a point where they are motivated to make positive changes in their life

Had to smash the walls around that I had built for many years,
The singer had created emotional barriers that they had to break down to progress

I'm so happy now but man enough to say I've shed some tears,
The singer feels content with their current state but acknowledges that they have also experienced sadness

And I don't know whats wrong with me or why I self destruct,
The artist is unsure of the root causes for their destructive behavior

Why I built it up and tore it down and didn't give a fuck,
The artist describes their past pattern of behaving recklessly and without regard for their actions

Full of hatred full of anger, I've had just about enough,
The artist has experienced a great deal of negative emotions and reached their breaking point

Now there's love in this volcano and I'm bout to just erupt,
The singer feels a surge of positive emotions, which they are excited to express

I'm bursting with personality, thirst for a new reality,
The artist feels exuberant and is eager for positive change in their life

Lets rally up together and create a new mentality.
The singer is calling for collective unity in fostering a more positive outlook

Watch out for the poison cause this world is full of mad snakes,
The singer warns of the presence of dangerous and deceitful people in the world

And I don't know for sure if it gets better but I have faith
The singer is unsure about the future, but maintains faith in positive change
