MUCH AGAINST EVERYONE'S ADVICE
I'M STILL TRYING I'M TRYING I'M TRYING I'M TRYING
The lyrics to Soulwax's song "Much Against Everyone's Advice" are a reflection on the song's narrator's failure to connect with others despite their efforts to do so. The singer is described as being absentminded, unable to communicate effectively, and struggling to care enough about others. This is exemplified in lines like "seem to have a history at missing the point at this stuff" and "I care but never enough for you."
The second verse's opening line "faith cheated me of everything but I laughed until I stopped" suggests that the singer has lost faith in something or someone, but they continue to try to make connections despite feeling let down. The chorus, with its repetition of "I'm still trying I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying," reflects this perseverance despite the odds.
Overall, the song is a introspective look at the difficulties of communicating with others and the struggle to maintain connections even when faith is lost.
