Nervous Breakdown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Nervous Breakdown's song "On And On" are a commentary on the frustrating and cyclical nature of political discourse. The songwriter expresses their anger towards the perceived hypocrisy of authority figures such as cops, teachers, and government officials who they feel are constantly creating problems and placing blame on others. However, the songwriter acknowledges that this situation is unlikely to change; they assert that those who do not participate in the political game will never win. The songwriter admits to being savvy to the political posturing of those in power, recognizing that they claim to want to change the world, but ultimately lack the ability to do so. The writer bemoans the endless arguments that ensue and the waste of energy and breath that goes along with it, hence the repetition of the phrase "on and on and on and on."
The song resonates with those who feel frustrated with the political process and the seemingly never-ending cycle of complaints and debate. The songwriter's blunt and disillusioned tone communicates a sense of resignation towards the situation but also a desire to not be taken for granted.

Fucking cops teachers and the government always making shit up always on my back.
The authorities always seem to be fabricating lies and constantly nagging me, causing me frustration and disillusionment.
Well things are gonna stay the goddamn same.
Despite efforts to reckon with the current state of affairs, the status quo is expected to persist.
You're never gonna win if you don't play the game.
If one wishes to achieve victory or success, one must utilize the rules, structures and systems in place to their advantage.
I wasn't born yesterday and I know and I know all your politics,
I am not naive and possess an understanding of the tricks and tactics employed in the world of politics.
I know my place,
I am acutely aware of my position and role in society.
I know you want to change the world, but let's face it kid, you're full of shit.
Although you may have good intentions, the reality is that you lack the ability to make significant changes and are simply spouting meaningless talk.
Another pointless argument, on and on and on and on, another waste of oxygen, on and on and on and on
Once again, another futile discussion, endlessly repeating itself without any constructive outcome and wasting valuable energy and resources.

I thought it was just my usual depression and anxiety but usually I have different symptoms at different times. I guess having all of them at the same time is what a nervous breakdown is. Great. Now I can just...go back to my suffering. Thanks.

You'll know if you've had a breakdown when I had mine I couldn't talk of move off of a sofa for 3 years and didn't know my own name or date of birth, it takes plenty of rest and time ⌚ to heal but I'm halfway there 👍

I had a nervous breakdown when I got humiliated in front of my peers. It was hard to get over it! Now I finally did after talking about it with others & acknowledging that I put myself in that position. 👍
