“Trophy” seems to comment on the societal pressure to achieve and accumulate material possessions, and how even when one does Gain success, it may not bring true fulfillment or happiness. The repeated refrain “That’s just the way it goes” suggests a resigned acceptance of this fact.
Leaves, watch them float
Ten degrees, passing boat
Take your time 'cause it's all over
You're a deadbeat doll loner
House, car, bed, trophy
Someone there to hold, if only
Leaves, watch them float
Ten degrees, passing boat
Take your time 'cause it's all over
You're a deadbeat doll loner
House, car, bed, trophy
Someone there to hold, if only
Smile is wide, your face is stone
Thе test, it came back, said you're pronе to
Chew yourself right to the bone
I guess you don't like to be alone
But that's just the way it goes
That's just the way it goes
That's just the way it goes
Leaves, watch them float
Ten degrees, passing boat
Take your time 'cause it's all over
You're a deadbeat doll loner
House, car, bed, trophy
Someone there to hold, if only
Leaves, watch them float
Ten degrees, passing boat
Take your time 'cause it's all over
You're a deadbeat doll loner
House, car, bed, trophy
Someone there to hold, if only
That's just the way it goes
That's just the way it goes
That's just the way it goes
That's just the way it goes (The way it goes)
That's just the way it goes (The way it goes)
