Stuck in a Hard Place
Blue Foundation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stuck in a hard place on a rock
I can?t face it
Staring at the party
I?m looking for love
I can?t find it

Stuck in a hard place on a rock
In the darkness and drizzle
At the bars, making it pop
But all you suckers will fizzle
You will fizzle

You?re missing your memories
You can?t remember your name
You?ve changed your tune
But you?ve stayed the same

Throw off your dead skin
Like a chrysalis
Metamorphosis
No use resisting this

Stuck in a hard place on a rock
I can?t face it
Staring at the party
I?m looking for love
I can?t find it

Stuck in a hard place on a rock
In the darkness and drizzle
At the bars, making it pop
But all you suckers will fizzle
You will fizzle

Your mind is ephemeral
You can?t remember the game
You?ve peaked too soon
But you?ve stayed the same

Throw off your dead weight
From the precipice
Metamorphosis
No use resisting this

Stuck in a hard place on a rock
I can?t face it
Staring at the party
I?m looking for love
I can?t find it

Stuck in a hard place on a rock
In the darkness and drizzle
At the bars, making it pop




But all you suckers will fizzle
You will fizzle

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Stuck in a Hard Place" by Blue Foundation seem to describe a state of frustration, disorientation, and a sense of being stuck. The title itself suggests a feeling of being trapped, as if being caught between a rock and a hard place. The song opens with the singer stating that they are stuck in a hard place, unable to face it. They then describe themselves staring at a party, looking for love, but unable to find it. This could be interpreted both literally, as searching for a romantic connection, as well as metaphorically, as searching for something deeper and more meaningful.


The second verse continues the theme of being stuck, this time in the darkness and drizzle, at bars where they are trying to "make it pop." However, the lyrics then suggest that all of their efforts will ultimately fail: "But all you suckers will fizzle / You will fizzle." The chorus repeats the feeling of being trapped, unable to find what they are looking for.


The final verse discusses the idea of throwing off dead weight, shedding old skin, and undergoing metamorphosis, even if it's difficult. The last line, "No use resisting this," could be seen as a call to action, a plea to embrace change instead of fearing it.


Overall, the lyrics of "Stuck in a Hard Place" seems to be about feeling lost, searching for something, and trying to break free from a sense of stagnation. It's a relatable sentiment that many people may experience at some point in their lives.
