The opening track to Day Wave’s debut EP Headcase, “Nothing At All” is a brutally honest song about growing up and confronting an identity crisis.
In a track-by-track breakdown of the EP, Phillips stated that this was the first song he wrote for Day Wave:
I’ve only been writing songs for a few yea...
[Verse 1]
I'm not a kid anymore
I wake up at one
So what am I good for
Besides trying to have fun?
I do whatever I want
But I still want more
If I do whatever I want
Why am I still bored?
[Chorus]
What am I good for?
Somebody tell me
'Cause I don't know anymore
What am I good for?
Somebody tell me
'Cause I don't know anymore
[Verse 2]
Spend my days alone
Lost in my head
Talk with the wrong tone
Everyone's upset
I still have no girl
After all this time
I say, fuck the world
After all this time
[Chorus]
What am I good for?
Somebody tell me
'Cause I don't know anymore
What am I good for?
Somebody tell me
'Cause I don't know anymore
[Bridge]
What am I good for?
Nothing at all
What am I good for?
Nothing at all
[Chorus]
What am I good for?
Somebody tell me
'Cause I don't know anymore
What am I good for?
Somebody tell me
'Cause I don't know anymore
