Trapped in Your Universe
Fat Camp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Begging for the truth;
Give me peace of mind
Calls- Don't seem to come through
I gave my life to you
But was it worth your time?
Oh oh oh
I'm at a loss for words
Oh oh oh
I'm trapped in your universe
Where- Where did your heart go?
I think I oughta know
Give me back my time
Why- Are you such a fucking pro?
At leaving me alone
And being so unkind
Oh oh oh
I'm at a loss for words
Oh oh oh
I'm trapped in your universe
Oh oh oh
I'm at a loss for words
Oh oh oh
I'm trapped in your universe
The lyrics to Fat Camp's song Trapped in Your Universe speak about a person who feels trapped in their relationship with someone. The persona of the song is calling out to their partner, begging for the truth and peace of mind, but it seems like their calls are not being answered. The persona gave their life to their partner, but they're left wondering if it was worth their time. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I'm at a loss for words, I'm trapped in your universe" emphasizing the feeling of being stuck and not knowing what to say or do.
The second verse of the song asks "Where did your heart go?" implying that the partner has become emotionally distant. The persona wants their time back, feeling like they've wasted it on someone who doesn't seem to care. The verse ends with the question "Why are you such a f\*\*\*ing pro at leaving me alone and being so unkind?" which further illustrates the partner's neglectful behavior.
Overall, the lyrics convey the frustration and emotional turmoil of being in a one-sided or toxic relationship where one partner gives more than the other. The repetition of the phrase "trapped in your universe" highlights the feeling of being stuck and unable to escape.
