What Happened To You?
The Offspring攀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Before you started tokin
You used to have a brain
But now you don't get even the simplest of things
I can draw a little picture

Or even use my hands
I try to explain but you just don't understand
Man you're really losin' it
And you've really done a lot of junk now

But you keep abusin' it
What in the world happened to you
It's bad enough you do it to yourself
But taking someone with you well you know that's something else

I say I'm not that kind of person
I'm not that kind of man
I try to explain but you just don't understand
I might be sympathetic or cut a little slack

If I thought that you were willing to give a little back
But you do it in the morning
You do it in the night
You lie to refrain from just facing your life

So I'll see you man tomorrow
You'll be gackin' up again
I'll see you in a coffin by the time your wad is spent
I think of all the times that I tried to lend a hand





I try to explain but you just don't understand

Line by Line Meaning

Before you started tokin
Before you started smoking marijuana


You used to have a brain
You used to be intelligent and sharp-minded


But now you don't get even the simplest of things
But now you don't understand even the simplest of concepts


I can draw a little picture
I can simplify the explanation by drawing a simple picture


Or even use my hands
Or even use physical gestures to help you understand


I try to explain but you just don't understand
I try to explain things to you, but you are incapable of understanding what I'm saying


Man you're really losin' it
You are really starting to lose control of yourself and your life


And you've really done a lot of junk now
You have really done a lot of drugs now


But you keep abusin' it
But you continue to abuse drugs


What in the world happened to you
What happened to you, why did you change so much


It's bad enough you do it to yourself
It's already bad that you harm yourself with drugs


But taking someone with you well you know that's something else
But dragging someone else into your drug use is another level of wrongdoing


I say I'm not that kind of person
I say that I am not the kind of person who would do drugs


I'm not that kind of man
I am not the kind of man who would do drugs


I might be sympathetic or cut a little slack
I might understand and show mercy


If I thought that you were willing to give a little back
If I thought that you were willing to make some effort to improve yourself


But you do it in the morning
But you do drugs in the morning


You do it in the night
You do drugs at night


You lie to refrain from just facing your life
You lie to avoid facing your problems and challenges in life


So I'll see you man tomorrow
So I will see you tomorrow


You'll be gackin' up again
You will be vomiting again due to drug use


I'll see you in a coffin by the time your wad is spent
I will see you dead in a coffin when you spend all your money on drugs


I think of all the times that I tried to lend a hand
I think of all the times that I tried to help you


I try to explain but you just don't understand
I try to explain things to you, but you are incapable of understanding what I'm saying

心中本无一物,我们心中本来就没有任何的杂念,是干干净净的,何处惹尘埃?要明白,佛本身是干净的,是无烦恼的,因为佛本身没有尘埃。也就是说,我们本来的佛心是没有灰尘的,是无尘无染的,而且是浩瀚无边的。

雖然只是故事,卻跟我前二天悟到的內容一樣,人之所以為惡,就是為了肉體,如果只剩靈體,就沒有吃飯饑餓的問題,沒有了物質,也就沒有性愛情色的作用,人類所有的作惡,99%都是為了滿足這個肉體,當然還是有極少數人,沒有理由,喜歡害人作惡,估計不到1%。若可以的話,今世就是最後一世,來世遁入涅盤,不再投胎轉世成為物質肉體。

還是仔細閱讀聖經!思考!

創 1:28 神就賜福給他們,又對他們說:「要生養眾多,遍滿地面,治理這地,也要管理海裡的魚、空中的鳥,和地上各樣行動的活物。」
創 9:1 神賜福給挪亞和他的兒子,對他們說:「你們要生養眾多,遍滿了地。
創 9:7 你們要生養眾多,在地上昌盛繁茂。」
創 35:11 神又對他說:「我是全能的神;你要生養眾多,將來有一族和多國的民從你而生,又有君王從你而出。
創 48:4 對我說:『我必使你生養眾多,成為多民,又要把這地賜給你的後裔,永遠為業。』

你知道成為ㄧ團能量存在佰億萬年不滅多無聊嗎?所以祂們才自己創造這物質世界,能有機會成為人,感知世界,是中頭獎你知道嗎?有許多能量排在你後面要成為人,你知道嗎?如果你不要?下次你要,可能要排到1億年後!不過那時可能是不同的人類物種!

宇宙是一个整体,生命是永恒的,宇宙中所有的生命都是来自 “源头造物主”的分型,肉体只是这次旅行的交通工具,每个人都有机会扬升至5D,目前我们需要做的就是要保持积极乐观的心态,因为每个人都是造物主,你的“意识”创造你的现实,记住不要吃肉,肉类产品会降低你的频率,使身体变得更加沉重,多吃没有加工过绿色食品,如新鲜的蔬菜和水果,心存善念善行,多做冥想,虔诚的祈祷,让我们一起共同创建美好的5D!
