Against Me! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way that your shoulders meet your slender neck
Where would we be without all the distance?
You know I'm already just a skeleton
I don't have the heart to match the one pricked into your finger
Of things made to be destroyed
Don't wanna live without teeth
Don't wanna die without bite
I never wanna say that I regret it
Never wanna say that we grew apart
And never wanna say that the feelings changed
I don't have the heart to match the one pricked into your finger
Of things made to be destroyed
All moments meant to pass
Chipped nail polish and a barbed wire dress
Is your mother proud of your eyelashes,
Silicone chest, and collagen lips?
How would you even recognize me?
I don't have the heart to match the one pricked into your finger
Of things made to be destroyed
All moments meant to pass
I don't have the heart to match the one pricked into your finger
No more troubled sleep, there's a brave new world that's raging inside of me
I don't have the heart to match the one pricked into your finger
This, too, will soon slip out of reach
This, too, will soon come to an end
The lyrics of "Fuckmylife666" by Against Me! are melancholic and emotive, delving into themes of distance, regret, and fleeting moments. The opening lines express admiration for the physical features of someone: the ease of their pose and the grace of their silhouette. This is juxtaposed later on by a sense of resignation towards the inevitability of things coming to an end. The distance mentioned in the song is both a physical and emotional separation, one that has left the singer feeling like a mere skeleton.
The next set of lyrics seem to highlight a fear of loss and an unwillingness to let go of certain things. The lines "Don't wanna live without teeth, don't wanna die without a bite" suggest a desire to hold on to the things that make life worth living. The repeated refrain, "I don't have the heart to match the one pricked into your finger, of things made to be destroyed, all moments meant to pass," reinforces the idea that everything is temporary.
The final verse seems to take on a more critical tone, in which the singer questions the image-conscious world they find themselves in. The mention of a "barbed wire dress" and "collagen lips" speaks to the obsession with appearance and the lengths people will go to alter themselves. The final line, "This, too, will soon come to an end," has a sense of finality and resignation, as if the singer is accepting that everything is fleeting and there's nothing they can do to stop it.

I came out as transgender to my whole family today. And I was accepted by them. This is such an important day for me and I feel like listening to Against Me! is fitting for such an occasion.
Update 2021 August 2nd: legally changed my documents in my home country Lithuania (changed my name, surname, sex marker to male aligning ones)!! I've been fighting for this for YEARS, I'm so happy I finally did it!! 🎉🎉🎉
@MsFuzzipoo
I know this comment is coming months after you posted yours, but, even as a stranger, I'm so happy for you! I'm also overjoyed about your family being accepting. That's huge. One of my good friends was flat out rejected by her family and hasn't talked to them since. She's legitimately one of the most caring, wonderful, amazing people I know and it breaks my heart.
I hope you and your (awesome and open-minded) family are doing well!
@sp00ky-crow
@@MsFuzzipoo Thank you so much, Emily. Ever since I came out to them, it has been a slow progress towards real understanding. Sometimes it gets hard for all of us, but we are all doing our best because we care about each other too much. We just can't let something like this get between us!
But still, I was truly scared to tell them. I know they love me, but even so, I just couldn't know what their reaction would be. I actually expected my mom to reject me or even throw me out. I didn't worry about my dad so much because we're really close, so I told him first, and later everyone else. So I think I'm lucky that they're all so open-minded and understanding. I was totally preparing for a worst case scenario! :'D
And again, thank you so much for your support and kind words. It means a lot, even if we're strangers. <3

@@jackson-zo8pt Yes, it's definitely worth waiting for. I'm so glad your parents accept you as you are! True trans soul rebels :D <3

this song makes me cry, which is a good thing. Bottled up feelings of being a closeted trans person, being stuck as a dude when you should be a girl... it's no fun folks
@jadedog600
+The Nekomancer Just know you have a bunch of people who don't even know you support and respect your gender, sis.
