You're always saying that there's something wrong.
I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along.
Death came around, forced to hear it's song
And know tomorrow can't be depended on
Seen the home inside your head.
Unlocked doors and unmade beds
Open sores unattended
Let me say just once that
I have faced it, a life wasted.
I'm never going back again.
I escaped it,a life wasted.
I'm never going back again.
Having tasted, a life wasted.
I'm never going back again.
The world awaits just up the stairs
Leave the pain for someone else
Nothing back there for you to find
Or was it you you left behind
You're always saying you're too weak to be Strong.
You're harder on yourself than just about Anyone
Why swim the channel just to get this far?
Halfway there, why would you turn around?
Darkness comes in waves...tell me,
Why invite it to stay?
You're one with negativity
Yes, comfort is an energy
But why let the sad song play?
I have faced it, a life wasted
I'm never going back again
Oh I escaped it, a life wasted
I'm never going back again
Having tasted, a life wasted
I'm never going back again
Oh I erased it, a life wasted
I'm never going back again
I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along.
Death came around, forced to hear it's song
And know tomorrow can't be depended on
Seen the home inside your head.
Unlocked doors and unmade beds
Open sores unattended
Let me say just once that
I have faced it, a life wasted.
I'm never going back again.
I escaped it,a life wasted.
I'm never going back again.
Having tasted, a life wasted.
I'm never going back again.
The world awaits just up the stairs
Leave the pain for someone else
Nothing back there for you to find
Or was it you you left behind
You're always saying you're too weak to be Strong.
You're harder on yourself than just about Anyone
Why swim the channel just to get this far?
Halfway there, why would you turn around?
Darkness comes in waves...tell me,
Why invite it to stay?
You're one with negativity
Yes, comfort is an energy
But why let the sad song play?
I have faced it, a life wasted
I'm never going back again
Oh I escaped it, a life wasted
I'm never going back again
Having tasted, a life wasted
I'm never going back again
Oh I erased it, a life wasted
I'm never going back again

I love this song.
Perhaps Johnny was the type who was too hard on himself, and Eddie was long beyond that phase in his life.
"When you leave that funeral, that drive is as important as any single stretch of road you'll travel on. You've got a renewed appreciation for life. And I think that feeling can last through the day, through the week, but then things start getting back to normal and you start taking this living and breathing and eating thing for granted. I think that song is there to remind you, 'This is that feeling'....The truth is--I'm a little sensitive and this is a close, personal relationship. I'll just say it. Fuck it. Right up front. Half the record is based on the loss of the guy who turned out to be the best friend I ever had on the planet. And that was Johnny Ramone."
Song's meaning sounds pretty straight-forward to me. Don't waste your life and don't get discouraged.
Eddie is usually vague, and this song is right to the point.
