Tempting Fate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we go again
We're in the same damn place witht the same old friends
We've been trying so hard
But some things never change
Oh well
Define success
When everyone around you with the same fucking mess
Here we go, here we again
Oh my God
What is going on?
I hate this place
Everything is wrong
Oh my God
What is going on?
I hate this place
Oh my God
What is going on?
I hate this place
Everything is wrong
Oh my God
I hate this place
The way I see it
Things could be different
If we all stay acting like we give a fuck
Even if they say to us all
We'll amount to nothing
Deny their claims
That give zero fucks
Oh my God
What is going on?
I hate this place
Everything is wrong
Oh my God
What is going on?
I hate this page
Oh my God
What is going on?
I hate this place
Everything is wrong
Oh my God
What is going on?
I hate this place
Oh my God!
Thank you
For never believing in anything I do
Thank you
For always hating everything I choose
Thank you
For never believing in anything I do
Thank you
For always hating everything I choose
Oh my God!
Oh my God
What is going on?
I hate this place
Everything is wrong
Oh my God
What is going on?
I hate this place
Oh my God
What is going on?
I hate this place
Everything is wrong
Oh my God
What is going on?




I hate this place
Fuck!

The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer recognizing that they have been trying hard but that some things never change. The song asks the question, "What is success?" and suggests that it is difficult to achieve when everyone around you is in the same mess.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase, "Oh my God, what is going on? I hate this place, everything is wrong." This repetition reinforces the feeling of frustration and hopelessness that the singer is experiencing. However, the bridge of the song provides a glimmer of hope, suggesting that things could be different if everyone acted like they cared. The final verse is a sarcastic thank you to those who have never believed in the singer's abilities or choices.
