W.Y.S.I.W.Y.G.

Pitchshifter's song 'W.Y.S.I.W.Y.G.' is a raw and unfiltered expression of frustration and disillusionment. The title, an acronym for 'What You See Is What You Get,' sets the tone for the song's brutally honest lyrics. The repeated phrases like 'God-awful waste-of-space,' 'Dumb degenerate low-life,' and 'Maladjusted freaks' reflect a deep-seated anger and dissatisfaction with societal norms and the people who conform to them. These harsh descriptors are not just insults but a critique of a society that the narrator feels is filled with mediocrity and failure.

The chorus, 'Cause I want just one day for things to go my way,' reveals a yearning for change and a break from the monotony and disappointment of everyday life. This desire for a single day of personal success and satisfaction highlights the narrator's sense of powerlessness and frustration. The repetition of 'Low-life de-generation' underscores a feeling of being stuck in a cycle of degeneration, both personally and generationally. The song suggests that this is not just an individual problem but a generational one, affecting many people who feel similarly trapped and disillusioned.

The bridge offers a glimmer of hope with the lines, 'If what you see is what you get, then we have nothing to regret.' This suggests that by accepting the harsh realities of life and being honest about them, there is a possibility for improvement. The idea that 'our stupid lives will be better yet' if we come clean implies that honesty and self-awareness are the first steps toward change. The song ends on a note of defiance, rejecting the 'stupid world' and its expectations, and calling for a personal revolution, even if it's just for one day.
