RESET
dustbox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can′t reset my life no money!
I can't reset my life no girl friend!
I can′t reset my life no plan!

If my life's video game
I wanna push the reset button
But know I can't do that kind of thing
I know... I know... I know...

I can′t reset my life no money!
I can′t reset my life no girl friend!
I can't reset my life no plan!





Shit...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "RESET" by dustbox convey a sense of frustration and hopelessness about the inability to reset one's life. The singer expresses their desire to start over, to hit the reset button as if their life were a video game. Unfortunately, this is not possible as they lack the financial means, a romantic partner, and a plan to move forward. The repetition of these three lines emphasizes the futility of the singer's situation.


The use of profanity in the last line ("Shit...") reinforces the singer's frustration and anger with their circumstances. It adds to the overall feeling of helplessness and despair that permeates the song. The phrase "I know... I know... I know..." that follows the mention of the reset button seems to indicate a resignation to the singer's lot in life. They know that they cannot start over, and they accept that fact with a heavy heart.


Overall, this song is a lament for the missed opportunities and setbacks that make it difficult to move forward in life. It speaks to a universal sense of frustration with the limits of human existence, and the sense that we cannot simply hit a reset button and start over.
