Always the Same
Useless ID Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The odds are running against you.
Every day the same impression that something will change.
Today I felt so sick when all the warnings got me down.
All we are is a voice without a sound.
Face the problem, lead the way to the solution.
Raise your flag in victory
It's all gone.
Now, it's more than a dream and it's dying next to me.
If we had so much more then what would we be fighting for?
Are days go by, we're killing time with so much in our way
But it's always the same.
(Always the same.)
I remember when we were faces in the hall.
Now what's left are memories, posters on the wall.
We're getting by with no direction faster than we know.
It feels like we've been winning all along.
No more.
Now, it's more than a dream and it's dying next to me.
If we had so much more then what would we be fighting for?
Are days go by, we're killing time with so much in our way
But it's always the same.
Let's turn it off (Let's turn it off) and walk away.
I don't want to know what we were thinking.
Let's turn it off (Let's turn it off) and walk away.
No, I don't want to know at all. (No, I don't want to know...)
Now, it's more than a dream and it's dying next to me.
If we had so much more then what would we be fighting for?
Are days go by, we're killing time with so much in our way
But it's always the same. (Always the same.)
Always the same. (Always the same.)
The lyrics of Useless ID's song Always the Same express the frustration and weariness of someone who has been trying to change things for the better but feels like they are constantly fighting a losing battle. The first few lines ask a rhetorical question: "Are you here to save the world?" suggesting that the singer does not believe that one person can make a difference in the larger scheme of things. They continue to describe the feeling of hopelessness that comes from waking up everyday with the same impression that something needs to change, but never seeing any tangible results.
The middle section of the song implores the listener to "face the problem" and "lead the way to the solution" despite the odds against them. The idea of raising a flag in victory despite having lost more than you had implies that sometimes progress comes at a cost, and that true change may require sacrifice. However, the lyrics pivot towards a sense of resignation, acknowledging that even when one is doing everything they can to effect change, sometimes it feels like it is all for nothing.
The final section of the song offers a potential solution: "Let's turn it off and walk away." This suggests that sometimes when we are feeling overwhelmed and burned out, it is okay to take a step back and focus on our own well-being rather than continuing to struggle against a system that may seem unbeatable.
