Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They fucked our asses
They fucked 'em hard
But we kept our indie cred
For the whole nine yards
Ha

They blocked our album
They fucked our show
But we marched through hill and ill
Through the ice and snow

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tenacious D's song "They Fucked Our Asses" can be interpreted as a commentary on the difficult road that artists may face while trying to maintain their artistic integrity and independence in the face of corporate interests. The line "They fucked our asses" can be seen as a metaphor for the pressure and manipulation that these interests can put on artists, forcing them to compromise their creative vision in order to achieve mainstream success. Despite this, the singers of the song (presumably Jack Black and Kyle Gass, the members of Tenacious D) are proud that they have managed to maintain their "indie cred" and artistic integrity despite the obstacles they have faced.


The lyrics also reference the specific struggles that Tenacious D has faced as a band. The line "They blocked our album" may refer to their 2006 album "The Pick of Destiny," which was not as commercially successful as their first eponymous album. Similarly, "They fucked our show" may refer to the band's struggle to maintain their energetic and theatrical live performances in the face of increasing demands from promoters and the music industry.


Ultimately, the message of the song seems to be one of defiance and persistence in the face of adversity. Despite the obstacles and setbacks that they have faced, Tenacious D remains committed to their artistic vision and their independence as musicians.


Line by Line Meaning

They fucked our asses
We were royally screwed over


They fucked 'em hard
It was a harsh betrayal


But we kept our indie cred
Despite everything, our integrity remained intact


For the whole nine yards
We didn't give up, even when it seemed impossible to continue


They blocked our album
They prevented us from releasing our music


They fucked our show
They sabotaged our performance


But we marched through hill and ill
We persevered despite obstacles and difficulties


Through the ice and snow
Despite facing extreme adversity


Ha
A sarcastic, defiant laugh in the face of our adversaries
