More Than Useless (Relient K)

Now this isn’t a review. I was listening to my trusty iPod and More Than Useless by Relient K played. I have to say that I love their album Mmhmm, but it’s been a while since I listened to any song in this album. I was refreshed with the familiar sound, and then I decided to look for the lyrics.

Well what do you know. I found a new theme song! :)

MORE THAN USELESS
Relient K
MMHMM

I feel like, I would like
To be somewhere else doing something that matters
And I’ll admit here, while I sit here
My mind wastes away and my doubts start to gather
Whats the purpose? It feels worthless
So unwanted like I’ve lost all my value
I can’t find it, not in the least bit
and I’m just scared, so scared that I’ll fail you

And sometimes I think that I’m not any good at all
And sometimes I wonder why, why I’m even here at all
But then you assure me

I’m a little more than useless
And when I think that I can’t do this
You promise me that I’ll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once

So I say if I can’t, do something significant
I’ll opt to leave most opportunities wasted
And nothing trivial, that life could give me will
Measure up to what might have replaced it
Too late look, my date book
Is packed full of days that were empty and now gone
And I bet, that regret
Will prove to get me to improve in the long run

I notice, I know this
Week is a symbol of how I use my time
Resent it, I spent it
Convincing myself the world’s doing just fine
Without me
Doing anything of any consequence
Without me
Showing any sign of ever making sense
Of my time , it’s my life
And my right, to use it like I should
Like he would, for the good
Of everything that I would ever know

I’m a little more than useless
When I think that I can’t do this
You promise me that I’ll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once

I want to highlight the parts that struck me the most but I think I’m going to end up highlighting the whole song if I do!

To those who are feeling useless, wanting to be somewhere else than where you are right now…cheer up! You’re not useless, just as I am not. :) We’re all where we are for a purpose, and never get tired in believing in that. :)

Thank You Lord for speaking to me through this song. Have a great day everyone! ♥
