each day I can spend with you
i'm not dead, at least not yet
i just want to drown in the dream
I want to believe
butba green hope, a green faith
don't mean it works out okay
the come down, the next round
i'm ready, i'm ready, i'm not ready
for the violence
forget the question
there's no good answer
it's changing all the time
it's changing all the time
there's no everlasting way
no good answers
nothing satisfies
no, nothing satisfies, it never will
bitch please, no one's going to save you
alive but we're alone
and there's no thing we do
that machines won't do
and had we been more selective
had we been more selective
that's no guarantee that all
that's wrong would've worked out
forget the question
there's no good answer
change it won't arrive for us
no change won't arrive
there's no everlasting way
there's no good answers
nothing satisfies
no, nothing satisfies, it never will
not dead, at least not yet
(not dead at least not yet)
I know I'm not dead yet
not dead, at least not yet
not dead, at least not yet
not dead, at least not yet
I know I'm not dead yet
not dead, at least not yet
not dead, at least not yet

I want the sex and more
I want to feel more more
I want the blood and more
I want to feel it more
I want the sex and more

I take it all, all for granted
nothing satisfies
no, nothing satisfies
forget the question now
there's no good
change don't matter, let it go
cause I take it all
all for granted
no, nothing satisfies
no, nothing satisfies and never will

Overall Meaning

In "XXX," Kntrlr expresses an overwhelming sense of dissatisfaction with life despite being alive. The song opens up with the singer professing his desire to spend time with someone close to him, emphasizing how being with them allows him to feel more alive. However, as the song progresses, he acknowledges that nothing truly satisfies him, and even if we were to return and correct our past mistakes, there's no guarantee that things would be any better.

The singer mentions "the violence," which is a metaphor for the inescapable hardships of life, and despite the fact that there are no good answers or solutions to these problems, we must accept them since they're an integral part of life. While both wanting to believe in a better future and acknowledging the pointlessness of such beliefs, the singer ultimately concludes that nothing satisfies him and that he takes everything in life for granted. To him, change won't arrive or solve anything, notions that'll never work the way he desires.
