Anything Right
gospelmusicasforever.blogspot.com - P.O.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So much to say so little time for me to explain the way I feel
You only see things the way you want to see them
It makes sense to you all these things you do
You got it all figured out while everyone is confused

How do you do it?
In your mind I'm just blind
You're right all of the time
If I think for myself, I guess I'm way out of line

I'm not who you are
I'm so sorry

[Chorus]
I can't do anything right
You don't know me, stay out of my life
Kick me while I'm down, I want you to
I can't be like you
Don't want to be like you

No matter what I do it's never good enough
I give all that is me; still it's never enough
So, why try? I give up.
What does it feel like to be in your shoes

And walk over everyone like you do?
Tear me down again, I want you to.
You're lovely, so beautiful
You're perfect in every way.

Your interior rusted. I'm so disgusted.
Can't trust it. You're busted.





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

P.O.D.'s "Anything Right" is a powerful song with lyrics that dive deep into the emotions of a person who's constantly belittled and bullied by someone who seems to have everything figured out. The song's lyrics depict a world where the other person is always the one who's right, and the singer can do nothing right. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who's ever felt like they're always on the receiving end of criticism and disappointment. The song explores themes of inadequacy, rejection, and seething anger in a potent new way. The singer tries to find his own voice while being overshadowed by someone else's opinions and actions. The tone of the song is aggressive and confrontational, with a chorus that emphasizes the singer's frustration with always being in the wrong.


The verses of the song highlight the singer's attempts to speak out and stand up for himself. He tries to communicate his feelings to his oppressor, but finds himself constantly shut down and told he's wrong. He's made to feel small and insignificant, like his thoughts and feelings don't matter. The chorus emphasizes this frustration, with the singer stating that he can't seem to do anything right, and asking his oppressor to stay out of his life. The lyrics are intensely personal, and speak to anyone who's ever felt like they're trapped in a cycle of negativity and self-blame.

@dannystarkridesfixed

Benjamin Bowling that sucks..
Sorry to hear that,thus why people are so anti chruch.
Since sometimes: they speak
One thing,but actions or maybe
Even lack there of actions(how ever you wanna spin it).
Are why so many,have such a hardness to the church life.
But some can be so close minded
Upon arrival of a few seconds of
Meeting you. I like going to church myself. But the whole
Judgmental aspect or not even
Getting to know a person.
And casting the first stone.
Irrates me since
Who are you to pass judgement in a few seconds/minutes.
And every so often, some people
Can be super insenstive/offensive but
So insecure and easily offended
When they get a test of their own medicine. Its like dealing with full grown adults with a elementary school child's mindset. (not EVERYONE,just anyone fitting the mold of what you mentioned experiencing. Wish,it wasnt such a consistent thing with some people that have a super religious mindset and are super hate driven and begirive. Think some times some people shouldnt even try to be religious or a believer
Cus theyre trying so hard but its their way or no way or theyre just
Super jugdmental and negative ij their own world of thinking they're perfect cus they go to church and
They're more superior and entiltied and just talk alot of poop and are always angry).
