The Skatastrophes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody's gone out drinking
I'm staring at a blank screen thinking
Home again on this Friday night
But it doesn't really matter cause it's all alright

And I was never one to care, I'm just scared, under skilled and unprepared
For whatever comes my way

And I know I might not make it
But that's just how it goes (how it goes)
And if I had a chance I'd take it
But I'm pathetic and it shows
So here it goes.

Everything's so complicated
Maybe I was just born frustrated
I'll close my eyes and I'll think of something better
And maybe that way I'll forget her

And I know that you don't know, and it shows,

But I guess that's how it goes.
There is nothing we can do.

Overall Meaning

The Skatstrophes's song F Major F You talks about feeling alone, scared, and frustrated on a Friday night, while everyone else is out drinking. The singer is staring at a blank screen and trying to distract himself from his problems. Despite feeling unprepared for whatever comes his way, he's not too worried because he knows that things will work out okay in the end. He's not overly ambitious and just wants to make it through life without too much drama.

The second verse delves deeper into the singer's frustration and complicated feelings. He realizes that he was maybe born frustrated, and he wishes that he could forget her. It's unclear who the "her" is, but it's possible that he's talking about a lost love or an ex-partner. The singer is aware that he's not making sense and that his feelings are not easily understandable, but he acknowledges that it's just something that he has to deal with.

Overall, the song is about feeling lost and alone but also coming to terms with the fact that life is complicated, and sometimes things just don't make sense. It's a relatable and honest song that captures the emotions of many people who have felt the same way.

Line by Line Meaning

Everybody's gone out drinking
My friends are all out partying while I'm alone at home

I'm staring at a blank screen thinking
I'm feeling uninspired and don't know what to do with my free time

Home again on this Friday night
It's another boring night at home with nothing to do

But it doesn't really matter cause it's all alright
I'm okay with being alone and doing my own thing

And I was never one to care, I'm just scared, under skilled and unprepared
I don't care about what others think of me, but I'm scared of failure and don't feel prepared for challenges

For whatever comes my way
I'll take on any challenges that come my way despite my fears

And I know I might not make it
I'm aware that success is not guaranteed

But that's just how it goes (how it goes)
That's just the way life is

And if I had a chance I'd take it
If an opportunity presented itself, I would take it

But I'm pathetic and it shows
I feel inadequate and it's apparent to others

So here it goes.
I'm going to try my best even if it means failing

Everything's so complicated
Life is full of difficulties and challenges

Maybe I was just born frustrated
Perhaps my personality is naturally prone to frustration

I'll close my eyes and I'll think of something better
I'll try to imagine a better future and imagine positive outcomes

And maybe that way I'll forget her
By distracting myself with positive thoughts I may forget about the person who's causing me pain

And I know that you don't know, and it shows,
Others around me can tell that I'm struggling but they don't understand why

But I guess that's how it goes.
But that's just the way life is sometimes
