The lyrics of Suburban Lawns's song "Anything" appear to be about boredom and the search for meaning and purpose in life. The repeated refrain of "It don't mean anything anymore / 'Cause you can't find anything to do" suggests a sense of listlessness or ennui. The singer urges the listener to take action and seek out experiences in order to uncover what life truly means to them, singing "If you want it good, get it / Got to try anything / Gotta find out, yeah / What does it mean?"
The song seems to be speaking to a generation that may feel disconnected or disillusioned with the world around them. The urge to "try anything" and "find out" suggests a willingness to experiment and take risks in order to break free from the monotony of everyday life. The song's driving rhythm and catchy chorus give it a sense of urgency and energy, as if to say that there is still hope for those who are willing to reach out and grab it.
Overall, "Anything" is a compelling anthem of defiance and determination, urging listeners to take control of their lives and find meaning in whatever way they can.
