It Ain't Me
The Reatards Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It ain't gonna save me
It ain't gonna save me, no how

It ain't gonna save me
It ain't gonna save me, no how

It ain't gonna save me
It ain't gonna save me, no how

It ain't gonna save me
It ain't gonna save me, no how

I took a walk the other day and thought about how things used to be
And then a cloud came into sky it shed on me
And I don't know why, ever since that day I've never been the same
Tired and lonely with no one to blame
And in this bedroom is where I sit cause I don't really don't give a shit

It ain't gonna save me
It ain't gonna save me, no how

It ain't gonna save me
It ain't gonna save me, no how

My negativity it takes a toll
It uses me just like a bone
It scares away the things I love
It keeps its fight and push at shows,
Ever since that night I've never been the same
Tired and lonely with no one to blame
And in this bedroom is where I sit
Cause I don't really don't give a shit

It ain't gonna save me
It ain't gonna save me, no how

It ain't gonna save me
It ain't gonna save me, no how

It ain't gonna save me
It ain't gonna save me, no how

It ain't gonna save me
It ain't gonna save me, no how

All is lost there is no hope, all is lost you can go home,
All is lost there is no hope for me.

All is lost there is no hope, all is lost you can go home,
All is lost there is no hope for me.

All is lost there is no hope, all is lost you can go home,
All is lost there is no hope for me.

All is lost there is no hope, all is lost you can go home,
All is lost there is no hope for me.

Line by Line Meaning

It ain't gonna save me
The situation cannot be salvaged


It ain't gonna save me, no how
Regardless of what happens, nothing can save me


I took a walk the other day and thought about how things used to be
I reminisced about the past while taking a walk


And then a cloud came into sky it shed on me
Suddenly, a cloud appeared and rained on me


And I don't know why, ever since that day I've never been the same
For some inexplicable reason, I have been different ever since that day


Tired and lonely with no one to blame
I feel exhausted and isolated, but I can't attribute it to anyone


And in this bedroom is where I sit cause I don't really don't give a shit
I am currently sitting in my room, apathetic and indifferent


My negativity it takes a toll
My pessimistic attitude is affecting me negatively


It uses me just like a bone
My negativity is taking over my life, much like how a bone is used by the body


It scares away the things I love
My negative mindset is repelling the things and people I care about


It keeps its fight and push at shows
My negativity persists and manifests even in public situations


All is lost there is no hope, all is lost you can go home,
There is no hope for me, and others can leave because there is nothing they can do


All is lost there is no hope for me.
I have no faith in my situation improving, there is no hope for me
