trying to explain
I'm trying to explain
but it doesn't make a difference to you
no!

tried to have my say
I tried to have my way
but there's not a fucking lot I can do
no!

you caught me at the worst time
again I let you down




I know it's not the first time
let me turn this around

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from Nothing Done's song Time Out convey the frustration and helplessness one feels when trying to communicate with someone who refuses to listen. The singer is attempting to explain something to this person, but they are unwilling to understand, leaving the singer feeling stuck and powerless. It's as if the effort to make their point is pointless and will not make any difference in the end. The use of profanity in the lyrics also adds to the feeling of frustration and anger that the singer is experiencing.


Despite their attempts to speak up, the singer is met with resistance, making them feel like they have failed. They've tried to assert themselves and make their voice heard, but the situation remains unchanged. The lyrics suggest that this is not the first time this has happened and that the singer can't do anything about it. The line "let me turn this around" leaves a glimmer of hope that the situation can be rectified, but it's unclear whether this is achievable.


Overall, these lyrics capture the struggle of trying to communicate with someone who refuses to understand, leading to a feeling of powerlessness and frustration. It's a relatable and emotional theme that many people have experienced at some point in their lives.

'Cause I still see
With the same green eyes from when I was a kid
Young and scared of the world
'Cause I still kiss
With the same chapped lips from when i was six
And I still feel
With the same frail fingers, does my scent linger
In the linen sheets of your bed
I'm still full of shit, you don't buy a word that I say
But it's okay, I wouldn't either
