My Will Is Good
Port O'Brien Lyrics

The lyrics to Port O'Brien's "My Will Is Good" are open to interpretation, but they appear to be about the singer's inner struggles with themselves and their relationship with another person. The opening lines "Let you ice your ache / Cross your fingers / Did you find somebody to blame?" suggest that someone is hurting and seeking someone or something to blame for their pain. The singer then asks if this person has found someone to blame, implying that they may be the target of their anger. The following line "Bank it all upon next year's lottery" suggests that this person is placing all their hope on something outside of themselves, rather than taking responsibility for their own life.

The chorus "I think my will is good" implies that the singer has a strong sense of self and is confident in their ability to navigate life's challenges. They then talk about finding comfort in settling down, but also feeling frustrated with their partner who they claim they warned not to repeat the same mistakes ("And you tell me that I told you so"). The lines "Try to trade it for a cheapskate holiday / I think my will is good" may suggest that the singer is unwilling to compromise their values or settle for less than they deserve. The repeated phrase "every other time / try to come to terms / try to tag along / will you never never learn" suggests that this is a recurring pattern in their relationships, and the other person never seems to learn or change their ways.

Overall, the lyrics seem to explore themes of self-worth, personal responsibility, and the challenges of navigating relationships. The singer appears to be struggling with their own sense of identity and place in the world, while also grappling with the expectations and demands of those around them.
