All For Nothing

from Days Without Incident by T-Rex Marathon

about

The song was written explicitly to be the album opener. It’s driving and still has a catchy hook but relies heavily one on repeating melody to get people off their feet and moving in an aggressive fashion. It’s driving, fun, and simple and gives a listener an idea of the kind of fun ride they’re about to go on. It also asks a very simple question that could apply to the rest of the band, “what if it’s all for nothing?”. That question is answered by the end of the album and it most certainly was not.

lyrics

(You won’t!)

You know that I am telling the truth,
But it’s a shame you can’t see.

They’re lying, oh, they’re lying, oh they’re
Lying to you when you,
Think you’re friendess, think your useless, think that
No one wants you to be there

I see the light drain from your eyes
When the devils take you.
Oh no, you don’t deserve it.
What if it’s all for nothing?

I tried to say what I should say,
But the words wouldn’t come out.

They’re lying, oh, they’re lying, oh they’re
Lying to you when you,
Think you’re friendess, think your useless, think that
No one wants you to be there.

You say this comes as no surprise,
That your mind is racing.
Oh no, you don’t deserve it.
What if it’s all for nothing?

(I don’t want to hear it)
(I do not deserve this)
(I can’t feel anything)
(It’s all for naught!)

What if it’s all for nothing
What if we’re all meant to lose.
Oh no, you don’t deserve it.
What if it’s all for nothing?
