White Shirt
Lyrics
White shirt, blood stain, I'm hurt, in pain This world, insane, no girl, no brain Nobody gets me, I don't get no one Looking for a sign but the sign's broken White shirt, blood stain, I'm hurt, in pain This world, insane, no girl, no brain Nobody gets me, I don't get no one Looking for a sign but all the signs broken All I need is another joint What's the reason, what's the point? Only gonna die anyway May as well take off today My nerves, my veins, no feel, just shame My lips'll stay sad, cuz everything's bad Yeah okay, Chad, you won't change that Lips'll stay sad, brain'll stay mad Yeah okay Chad, go on change that white shirt Go on change that white shirt You're insane, life's dirt I don't know what you heard Go on and change that White shirt, blood stain, I'm hurt, in pain This world, insane, no girl, no brain Nobody gets me, I don't get no one Looking for a sign but the sign's broken White shirt, blood stain, I'm hurt, in pain This world is insane, no girl and no brain Nobody gets me, I don't get no one Looking for a sign but all the signs are broken Every sign, oh, is broken Ooh the blood is flowing White shirt ripped open
About This Song
Looping portrait of pain, isolation, and nihilism — numbing with substances, questioning the point of being alive, and ending in escalating self-harm imagery with no movement toward processing or resolution.
What is the song “White Shirt” by Chad Lewine about?
This was my attempt at writing a song that would appeal to the disaffected, nihilistic, glazed-over social media doom scroller troll commenter and be "on trend." It worked, but also backfired because this just isn't me.
