Deadweight
My Turn To Win Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What do we do this for?
There's no contest
There's no score.
We're screaming for something more
Than what we have.
So what do we do this for?

To find out why
Why we've spent so much time
Wondering what
What else is out there for us

You dropped out of this game.
YOU'RE DEAD WEIGHT.
Sold out yourself for the bottom line.
And then you went away.
And now you're not the same.
That's why we call you dead weight.

WE DON'T NEED YOU.
WE DON'T NEED ANYONE.
THIS IS OUR LIFE.
AND WE DO THIS ALL FOR FUN.
And we'll pass




Or we'll fail.
But we'll still do this for us

Overall Meaning

The song 'Deadweight' by My Turn to Win explores the idea of questioning the purpose of one's actions and decisions. The lyrics provoke the listener to ponder over why they do certain things, and to make sure they are doing them for the right reasons. The lines "What do we do this for? There's no contest, there's no score" suggest that there may not always be a clear goal or reward for the endeavors we undertake. However, the singer asserts that there is a desire for something greater, as evident in the line "we're screaming for something more than what we have."


The chorus of the song targets someone who left the game, sold out for the bottom line, and has now become dead weight. The term "dead weight" refers to someone who is no longer contributing or helping, and instead dragging things down. The lines "And now you're not the same. That's why we call you dead weight" suggest that the person in question has changed for the worse, and is no longer the same person they once were. The assertion that "we don't need anyone. This is our life. And we do this all for fun" further highlights the band's need for self-reliance and individuality. The song concludes with the statement that whether they pass or fail, they will continue doing what they do for themselves.
