So What
Red Rat & Mr. Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So what?
Staring in the mirror at night
So what?
Making the same errors
And I don't know but
I'm looking at your pictures
And my mind goes numb
But I'm like so what?
Staring in the mirror at night
So what?
Making the same errors
And I don't know but
I'm looking at your pictures
And my mind goes numb
Gold still glimmers
But I'm like so what?
Staring it the mirror at night so what?
They won't remember me if I don't show up
Dès qu'ils entendent le beat all their hands go up
Stand and deliver but I'm like so what?
I ain't really eaten in a week, so what?
I feel like a heathen and I might give up
I'm spinning with the season and I might throw up
I'm losing my reason but I'm like so what?
Dance with the demons at night so what?
Don't mind mud dans le club soda
I'm laying on a rug chasing euphoria
I wake up screaming but I'm like so what?
Treason always hang above my mind, so what?
Packing this heat but I want no war
My head on the concrete, got no scar
Better off dead but I'm like so what?
So what?
So what?
So what?
Staring in the mirror at night, so what?
Looking at the pictures and my mind goes numb
I'm making the same error and I don't know but
This gold still glimmers but I'm like, so what?
Staring at your pictures at night, so what?
So many memories, can I never wake up
Sharing my dreams with you, when you wanna hook up
Starving for the tease, I gotta grow up
Sippin on the tea, can you share what's up
Steering down the sea, should I just drown, so what?
So what?
The cheering in my ears, I hope it never stops
Don't make it overwhelm me, I'm about throw up
Can I not be bothered when you ask what's up?
How can't you understand when I ask to stop
You only lend me a hand when I'm fucked up
You don't even care, what a shame, so what?
As for me, all I wanna do is go up
Try to give back to the world and not see it fade up
Has it been enough, can we finally let it rest up
Staring at your pictures and I write so what
So many fissures, can I pull the lever up
Staring at the schemes, my mind's about to blow up
