Something Better
Pietasters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said that I would change my mind
You said I'd lose my only chance to go and get her
In turns out you don't really know what you've been missin', my friend
You might have her now I got something better
Never took a chance on fate
And boredom comes to those who wait
You never get a chance for life unless you live it, my friend
You might have her now I got something better
You said it was a waste of time
You said that I would change my mind
You said I'd lose my only chance to go on get her
In turns out you don't really know what you've been missin', my friend
You might have her now I got something better
The lyrics to Pietasters' "Something Better" seem to be about a lost love and the regret of not taking a chance when it was presented. The singer is addressing someone who had given them advice not to pursue the object of their affection. The advice giver is telling the singer that they were wasting their time and that they would eventually regret it. However, the singer did not listen and took the chance anyway. In the end, the singer is proclaiming that they have found something better.
The song is about the idea that it is better to take risks and try to get what you want in life than to sit back and wait for things to happen. The singer's decision to go after what they wanted paid off, and they have found something better than what they originally wanted. The song encourages the listener to take chances and not be afraid to go after what they want, rather than waiting for things to come to them.
This is reinforced by the line, "And boredom comes to those who wait". Waiting for something to happen can lead to boredom and missed opportunities. The song encourages the listener to take action and make things happen for themselves.
