Good Things
Spengler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really life is dandy
We are what we don't see
We miss everything daydreaming
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end, come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end, come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?
Traveling I always stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets it and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end, come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end, come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?
Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon
So that they could die
Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon
So that they could die
Die, die, die
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end, come to an end
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end, come to an end
Why do all good things come to an end?
Well the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it will come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should
Stay away for a day â€~til the feeling went away
And the sky was falling
And the clouds were dropping
And the rain forgot how to bring salvation
The dogs were tune barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
So that they could die
The lyrics to Spengler's "Good Things" express a sense of disillusionment and longing for something more than reality. The opening lines, "Honestly, what will become of me? I don't like reality / It's way too clear to me" depict a feeling of hopelessness towards the future and a desire for a more fulfilling life. The line "We are what we don't see" suggests that there is more to life than what meets the eye and that there is a yearning for something deeper that cannot be fully understood.
The chorus of the song poses the question, "Why do all good things come to an end?" The repetition of this line evokes a sense of loss and disappointment, further emphasizing the feelings of disillusionment expressed throughout the song. The verse "Traveling I always stop at exits / Wondering if I'll stay" portrays a sense of restlessness and a desire for change. The line "I want to pull away when the dream dies" suggests a fear of becoming stuck in a stagnant or unfulfilling life.
The song's bridge introduces a new metaphor with the imagery of dogs whistling a new tune and barking at the moon. The dogs hoping "it would come soon / So that they could die" depicts a sense of longing for escape or release from the struggles of life. Overall, "Good Things" speaks to a longing for something more than what is currently being experienced and a questioning of why good things seem to come to an end.

Sometimes, you gotta take a rest
Sometimes, you need a positive reflect
Sometimes, you gotta take five: one, two, three, four, five
Sometimes, sit back and jive
Good things, come to those who wait
Good things, always come true
Good things, come to those who wait
Good things… So leave it feeling black and blue and stop acting like a fool
Sometimes, you gotta take a rest
Sometimes, you need a positive reflect
This time you need to make yourself feel
This time, you gotta take a chill pill
Good things, come to those who wait
Good things, always come true
Good things, come to those who wait
Good things… So leave it feeling black and blue and stop acting like a fool
Well, sometimes, you guess you had too much
And sometimes, you get to think it that you had enough
Those times, you gotta take five: one, two, three, four, five
Next time, you stay cool and relax your mind
Good things, come to those who wait
Good things, always come true
Good things, come to those who wait
Good things… So leave it feeling black and blue and stop acting like a fool
