Ben Folds: Fired Meaning
Fired Lyrics
Because she does it's not the same room
The one she wanted to be in
She says, everywhere I go, damn! There I am.
And I just want to walk away
Won't you let me walk away sometimes?
Won't you let me walk...
-
I interpret this song to be about how we spend our lives running away from ourselves/ our judgements/ our emotional baggage only to realize we are bringing all our baggage in tow:
“Everywhere I go damn there I am!”
We keep changing our scenery - walking into a new room - only to realize by entering the room “it’s not the same room, the one she [we] wanted to be in”
I love the message behind this song, it helps remind me that the BS I get worked up about is nonsense and the only thing keeping us from being happy is our judgements and the recurring drama we bring along until we find a way through the door to be free of it. -
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
