What’re We Doing Here

Alexsucks' song 'What’re We Doing Here' delves into the tumultuous emotions of self-blame, confusion, and the feeling of being lost. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is deeply aware of their flaws and the chaos they bring into their relationships. The repeated admission of fault and the acknowledgment of being labeled as 'insane' suggest a person grappling with their mental state and the impact it has on those around them. The line 'I'll tell you now, that you should run' is a stark warning to others, indicating a self-awareness of the potential harm they might cause.

The chorus, 'We don't know what we're doin' here, it goes on and on,' encapsulates the sense of aimlessness and perpetual confusion. This sentiment is further emphasized by the recurring theme of regret and the inability to change, as seen in lines like 'Wake up in the morning, don't know what I've done, but I know I'll regret.' The protagonist's plea for others to give up on them and the repeated assertion of being a 'lost cause' highlight a deep-seated sense of hopelessness and resignation.

Culturally, the song resonates with the struggles of many who feel trapped in cycles of self-destructive behavior and mental health issues. Alexsucks' raw and honest portrayal of these feelings provides a voice to those who might feel similarly lost and misunderstood. The song's repetitive structure and haunting lyrics mirror the endless loop of confusion and regret that the protagonist experiences, making it a poignant reflection on the human condition.
