the good the bad the olga Lyrics
I'm not that boy that I once was at all
And I know you can't accept that I'm all grown up
I'll stay in touch, but I
Have some problems to attend to like
[Chorus]
How I feel like I'm just not enough, and no one seems to give a fuck about me
It keeps compounding, I know that everyone is fine without me
So this is it, my final shift, my last hoorah
Before I take a gun and do something I should have done
[Verse]
I walked myself back home, I walked myself back
Was tired, angry, like always
Can't believe you called me today out of all days
Apologized, but we both know that's what they all say
The sun would shine, but nowadays, it's all gray
Should I lie and tell you that it's all grеat?
[Chorus]
How I feel like I'm just not enough, and no one seems to givе a fuck about me
It keeps compounding, I know that everyone is fine without me
So this is it, my final shift, my last hoorah
Before I take a gun and do something I should have done
I'm damn near apologetic, but I'm far from empathetic
For you, I did this for me and that's true (Woah-woah, oh)
I'm damn near apologetic, but I'm far from empathetic
For you, I did this for me and that's true
I have nothing left to lose
I have nothing left to lose
About
“the good the bad the olga” follows “the prom,” where glaive ignored those around him, now feeling alone and believing nobody cares about him. Unlike in the previously mentioned track, he picks up the phone just to lie, pushing himself to believe he isn’t needed for others.
Ending the chorus on a suicidal thought, glaive expresses the effect of struggling with mental health, an idea he does many times throughout the album, such as on the opener, “oh are you bipolar one or two?,” a song believed to be his suicide note.

I can’t say this normally but it’s about my mom. I was really mad at her, it was this whole thing, but I love her. She’s the goat.
— Via i care so much that i dont care at all Tour
For someone to be an “olga” means for them to be blessed or holy. Olga is a name given to Russian girls originating from Old Norse. This means that another way of reading the title could be “the good the bad the blessed.”
