This song is a clash of many styles that fit together pretty well. It's about someone who never sees the good side of anything. I think it's about me; or is it about you?

In this life you play the hand you get
Roll them dice baby, you might hit that number yet
But it doesn't matter if you win or lose
No matter what the outcome you still will sing the blues
You don't see your good fortune, but I guess that isn't news

Now your drowning in a sea of self-despair
Throw you a life-line baby, but you don't even care
You know that you can stop it, the pounding in your brain
I just don't understand it, you must enjoy the pain
You're either blinded by the sunshine or you're blinded by the rain

You always see the glass as half empty
You never see the forest for the trees
I'm begging please

Now you're crying you're never gonna win
That's cause you give up baby, before the fight begins
You say it's just your bad luck, and that will never change
I have to tell you darlin, I'm sick of that refrain
You're either blinded by the sunshine or you're blinded by the rain
