VENTING
Ramone Joey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're all screwed up and psychologically bruised
Kids killing kids, make society pay
Just blow up your school and have a nice day
Reality today's much stranger than fiction
A sick fuckin' world with a violent affliction
It really really bugs me
And it really really bugs me
It's a different world today
I just don't understand
It's a different world today
And I just don't understand
Does anything ever really get accomplished?
Does anything ever really get done?
Politicians talkin' through their assholes
Makes you really want to go and kill someone
It's a different world today
I just don't understand
It's a different world today
And I just don't understand
I just don't understand
I just don't understand
I just don't understand
I just don't understand
Ramone Joey's "Venting" touches upon the chaos and despair of modern daily life. The lyrics describe a world in flux, plagued by a violent affliction that causes disillusionment and frustration among the people. The song touches upon issues like school shootings, the stagnation in politics, and the overall feeling of uselessness. Through lyrics like "world out of control," "sick f**king world," and "politicians talking through their assholes," Joey expresses his view that the world has become a dangerous, unpredictable place.
As a response to this environment, Joey encourages people to live their life to the fullest and not care about anything. Interestingly, while there is a sense of despair in the lyrics, there is also a hint of encouragement that suggests that life is still worth living despite the hardships. The chorus, "It's a different world today, and I just don't understand," further amplifies the sentiment that the world is moving too fast and that it feels entirely different from before.
