Sick of Feeling Useless
Neon Dreams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We had our hearts on our sleeves so reckless
Open minds to whatever came next yeah
Living our best life no stress yet
Whatever happened to all our good faith
We used to be so free in the old days
Anxiety got us shattered
Telling us, "Shut up, you don′t matter"
It's hard to heal
When the world gets too real
Inside of us
We just need to feel some love
Scream out but nobody listens
Try hard but it don′t make a difference
Sick of feeling useless
Sick of feeling, sick of feeling useless
Everybody is living so selfish
Got us feeling young dumb and helpless
Sick of feeling useless
Sick of feeling, sick of feeling useless
Do you remember that old school mixtape
We put it on to forget our mistakes
Hanging out like every single weekend
Good vibes all smiles on the east end
Can we find our way back to those nights
Get lost in the neon bar lights
Never had a care to give
No one told us how to live
It's hard to heal
When the world gets too real
Inside of us
We just need to feel some love
Scream out but nobody listens
Try hard but it don't make a difference
Sick of feeling useless
Sick of feeling, sick of feeling useless
Everybody is living so selfish
Got us feeling young dumb and helpless
Sick of feeling useless
Sick of feeling, sick of feeling useless
Scream out but nobody listens
Try hard but it don′t make a difference
Sick of feeling useless
Sick of feeling, sick of feeling useless
Everybody is living so selfish
Got us feeling young dumb and helpless
Sick of feeling useless
Sick of feeling, sick of feeling useless
Sick of feeling useless
Sick of feeling useless
The lyrics to Neon Dreams's song "Sick of Feeling Useless" reflect a sense of nostalgia and longing for a simpler, carefree time. The opening lines reminisce about a time when the singer and their partner had a carefree, optimistic outlook on life, wearing their hearts on their sleeves and embracing whatever came next without stress. However, as time went on, anxiety seemed to shatter their sense of security and purpose, leaving them feeling insignificant and unheard. The chorus emphasizes the difficulty of healing in a world that feels overwhelming and real, and yearning for love as a source of solace and comfort.
The second verse adds to the longing for the past, specifically highlighting the nostalgia of listening to an old school mixtape as a means to escape from their mistakes. The reference to hanging out every weekend and the neon bar lights evoke a sense of youthful freedom and joy. However, the lyrics also express a frustration with the selfishness and helplessness that seems to dominate the present, with everyone focused on themselves rather than looking out for one another.
Overall, "Sick of Feeling Useless" portrays a desire to return to a time when life felt simpler and relationships were more genuine, where the singer and their partner felt truly alive and cared for. It speaks to the universal longing for connection, understanding, and meaning in a world that often feels overwhelming and disconnected.
