Discover the story of the song > The Hell Of It – paul williams

The song talks about a man who feels like nothing really matters in life and that everything is pointless. He's getting older while others around him are getting wiser, and he's not really listening to anyone. The chorus repeats that nobody likes him and he's better off dead. The song ends with the idea that even though the man's music lives on, everyone is still glad that he's gone. Overall, it's a sad song about the pointlessness of life and the impact of not really connecting with others.
