I'll be good." This is a person in denial, trying to kid himself that if they can just find that one "good" thing, all their problems and unhappiness will go away. "I'm in the pursuit of happiness and I know that everything that shines won't always be gold. The most important song is the chorus, however. Basically, the drugs and alcohol can only help him fake happiness for so long before he wakes up in dark place all over again. There are other clues to the dark place the person singing this song is in, specifically the whole verse referring to nightmares and waking up in cold sweats. Basically, the whole song is about a person feeling empty and doing self-destructive things to try to feel the void, hence the "driving drunk," and "crush a bit, roll a bit" referring to drugs, obviously. This is a fairly dark, depressing song despite the title. Have you seen the video? It's not an uplifting anthem. Song MeaningI feel like most people are missing the actual point of this song. Why did I drink so much and smoke so much? Ugh I know everything that shine ain't always gold
