Worthless
Michael Barr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Roll with the bat to the practice
Take to me to my casket, yeah
I don't think you fully understand
Took a chance on myself, check in like the rent due
Six pounds in my kitchen getting vacuumed
Ivory on the porcelain in the bath room
Ask me for a pill, gonna' ask you
Yeah Imma' slow up
Yeah Imma' pour up
Yeah I think I did enough
Girl your out there, doing too much, let me bend your back
Painted a plan
I already toured in a van
Back of the pic, always been the plan
Couldn't predict I would of quit the band
Tell me I'm worthless
I don't wanna' die alone
Tell me is it high enough?
High enough?
So tell me, are we high enough?
High enough?
Hold up, wait another minute
Test up in the middle, when I'm finished with it
Dark Kid been up all night with her
When she go into the bathroom every fuckin' five minutes
And she break her back if she let me touch my digits
Her gang bad and she know she with the business
Hold me back cause' I feel it creeping in
She got enough to keep me up consuming everything she bringing
Yeah Imma' slow up
Yeah Imma' pour up
Yeah I think I did enough
Girl your out there, doing too much, let me bend your back
Stayed in demand
24 hours with the fans
Two years back, told me I wouldn't land
They try to tell you how to feel when your dad's a dead man
Tell me I'm worthless
I don't wanna' die alone
Tell me is it high enough?
High enough?
So tell me, are we high enough?
High enough?
When I feel your drug surface
How long 'til I hit the floor? Yeah
Baby, is it high enough?
High enough?
So tell me, are we high enough?
High enough?
And I don't ask for much
Needed the world, how much does it cost?
When your driving me wild, you're insane
Tell me I'm worthless
I don't wanna' die alone
Tell me is it high enough?
High enough?
So tell me, are we high enough?
High enough?
When I feel your drug surface
How long 'til I hit the floor? Yeah
Baby, is it high enough?
High enough?
So tell me, are we high enough?
High enough?
In Michael Barr's song "Worthless," the lyrics reflect a troubled mindset of a person who struggles to find meaning in their life. The first verse sets the tone for the song, as the singer describes himself as a man without a plan, just rolling with the bat to the practice. The following lines, "Take me to my casket, yeah/ I don't think you fully understand," suggest that the singer is not only aimless but also on a self-destructive path. However, despite this, he takes a chance on himself and pours himself into his work, even if it means indulging in drugs.
In the chorus, the singer's emotional turmoil is laid bare as he asks to be told that he is not worthless and that he will not die alone. The second verse is more visceral and centers around his relationship with a woman who keeps him up all night and helps him forget his pain. Nevertheless, the singer is still searching for something more, something that will make him feel high enough. The final lines of the song, "When your driving me wild, you're insane/ Tell me I'm worthless," suggest that the singer sees worthlessness as a self-fulfilling prophecy and that he may be in a destructive cycle that is difficult to break.
