Overall Meaning

Interpretation:


The lyrics in Risky Business' song "No Excuse" appear to express frustration and anger towards someone who has wronged the singer. The first line, "You just crossed the line," suggests that the other person has done something that has upset the singer to the point where they can no longer tolerate their behavior. The next line, "I can't believe I'm putting up with this shit," conveys a sense of powerlessness and disbelief that the singer is in this situation.


Despite feeling overwhelmed and close to quitting, the singer seems to be trying to keep their composure and give the other person a chance to make amends. The line, "Despite how I feel, I'm cutting you some slack," implies that the singer is trying to be forgiving and patient. However, they're clearly at their wit's end, as shown by the lines "My nerves are gonna fucking snap" and "My patience is about to crack."


Overall, it seems that "No Excuse" is a song about being pushed to the limit by someone's actions, and struggling to maintain one's composure in the face of overwhelming frustration.
