Is there something they might regret? Is it better to just forget just forget? [Verse 2] If they only would let us know Then we’d know just how far to go But instead they just tell us no tell us no [Chorus] You you always played the fool (You always played the fool) You always break the rule At every single school you know (You always break the rule) It always pulled you down They could always pull you down [Chorus] You you never stayed the same (You never stayed the same) And now you take the blame For all the little games they play (You always take the blame) And let it bring you down Why’d you let it bring you down?

[Should I Smoke] [Chorus] Should I smoke or should I die? Somebody must tell me why Should I laugh or should I cry Won’t somebody help me? [Verse 1] Don’t know what to say You’re makin’ me better I’ve learned how to pray Change in the weather today Don’t know what to do Just makes it hard to lose [Verse 2] The day passes by Nobody listens And nobody cries For anyone’s mission today Don’t know what to do Just makes it hard to choose [Chorus] Should I smoke or should I die? Somebody must tell me why Should I laugh should I cry Won’t somebody help me?

La chanson aborde des thèmes de confusion et de frustration face aux attentes et aux jugements des autres. Il semble qu'il y ait un appel à mieux comprendre les situations, à ne pas se laisser abattre par des décisions arbitraires, et à réfléchir sur le chemin à suivre dans la vie. Le refrain pose une question existentielle sur le choix entre deux alternatives extrêmes, symbolisant un dilemme face aux pressions et aux incertitudes de l'existence. Le contexte évoque une lutte intérieure, où l'individu se sent perdu et cherche des réponses dans un monde où peu semblent se soucier des luttes personnelles. Il est confronté à des difficultés émotionnelles tout en tentant de trouver un sens et un équilibre. Les réflexions sur la prière et la météo changent apportent une dimension spirituelle, soulignant la quête d'espoir et de paix intérieure.
