about
Quiet but punchy verses contrast with a dynamic and striking chorus that tastes of reflection and weariness, “Better” follows our hero’s journey to self-actualization in Halifax-based Good Dear Good’s second single. “Better” explores the adverse effects of losing one’s sense of self and the fleeting relief of self-medication. Although there are moments of comfort, it is inevitable that these makeshift remedies will only add fuel to the fire. Who am I when I’m sober?
lyrics
Is it really worth it do I even care
I worry is there really something else out there
It floats to the surface with its menacing glare
Asking why you gotta be so insincere
Fumbling forward, struggling for it now
Have you ever felt the warmth inside
Your trembling heart even though you’re tired
Wait for the side effects to subside
Just sit pretty with your rearranged smile
Exceptional waste of time
You have me cornered
Impractical peace of mind (mind)
I’m feeling better
I wouldn’t live in the world each day
Without a little bit of crazy in my brain
Take a step back and we’re all the same
Murdering the world for our own damn sake
Exceptional waste of time
You have me cornered
Impractical peace of mind (mind)
I’m feeling better
Mumblin’, stumblin’ trying to break through
Crumblings been the clearest of my views
Cruising through my deepest memories
Rocking back and forth like a small boat floating on the sea
Exceptional waste of time
You have me cornered
Impractical peace of mind (mind)
I’m feeling better
Exceptional waste of time
You have me cornered
Impractical peace of mind (mind)
I’m feeling better
