Sweetness
Tough Boy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chase a pretty part of life
I say thank you, i'm alright
So consuming it's my life
Going backwards half the time

I remember every time
In the same breath i tell lies
Can you show me wrong or right

Chase a pretty part of life
I say thank you, i'm alright




Going backwards in my mind
I am dreaming half the time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tough Boy's song Sweetness convey a sense of confusion and longing towards a better life. The first line, "Chase a pretty part of life," suggests a desire for something better or more beautiful than what the singer currently has. However, the following lines, "I say thank you, I'm alright" and "So consuming it's my life," suggest that the singer is trying to convince themselves that their current situation is okay, despite their desire for more.


The second verse continues this sense of internal struggle, with the line "I remember every time," suggesting that the singer is reflecting on past mistakes or missed opportunities. The following line, "In the same breath I tell lies," suggests that the singer may be lying to themselves or others about their true feelings and desires.


Overall, the song seems to be about the tension between wanting something more out of life and feeling trapped or stuck in one's current situation. The title, "Sweetness," may suggest that the singer sees something beautiful or desirable in the world, but is struggling to attain it.


Line by Line Meaning

Chase a pretty part of life
I pursue the beautiful aspects of existence


I say thank you, i'm alright
I express gratitude for my current state of being


So consuming it's my life
It's a significant part of my existence


Going backwards half the time
I often feel like I'm regressing


I remember every time
I can recall each instance


In the same breath i tell lies
I deceive while expressing myself


Can you show me wrong or right
Can you enlighten me on the correct path


Going backwards in my mind
My thoughts often embrace the past


I am dreaming half the time
My thoughts are often fanciful
