Totally Fucked
Duncan Sheik & Steven Sater Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a moment you know
You're fucked
Not an inch more room
To self destruct

No more moves, oh, yeah
The dead end zone
Man, you just can't call
Your soul your own

But the thing that makes you really jump
Is that the weirdest shit is still to come
You can ask yourself, "Hey what have I done?"
You're just a fly, the little guys, they kill for fun

Man, you're fucked if you just freeze up
Can't do that thing, that keepin' still
But you're fucked if you speak your mind
And you know, uh huh, you will

Yeah, you're fucked all right and all for spite
You can kiss your sorry ass goodbye
Totally fucked, will they mess you up?
Well, you know they're gonna try

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Disappear, yeah, well, you wanna try
Wanna bundle up into some big ass lie
Long enough for them to all just quit
Long enough for you to get out of it

Yeah, you're fucked all right and all for spite
You can kiss your sorry ass goodbye
Totally fucked, will they mess you up?
Well, you know they're gonna try

Yeah, you're fucked all right and all for spite
You can kiss your sorry ass goodbye
Totally fucked, will they mess you up?
Well, you know they're gonna try

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah

Totally fucked

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Totally Fucked" express the feeling of being trapped and overwhelmed. The "moment you know you're fucked" refers to the realization that there is nowhere left to turn and no more options available. It's the realization that you've made a mistake and there's no way out of the situation. The second verse talks about how the weirdest and most unexpected things can happen next. You can ask yourself what you've done wrong, but it won't change the fact that the little guys are going to kill you anyway.


The song continues with the warning that you're in trouble if you freeze up and can't keep moving. Conversely, if you speak your mind, you're equally doomed. The lyrics go on to suggest that the best thing you can do is to disappear, even if it means telling a big lie. The chorus repeats the message that you're incredibly screwed, but the song ends with a repetition of "blah blah blah," which highlights the sense of overwhelming confusion and disorientation.

There comes a moment when you realize


You're fucked
You're in deep trouble

You have no more space


To self destruct
To harm oneself

You have run out of options


The dead end zone
You have reached a point of no return

Your own spirit is at risk


But the thing that makes you really jump
The most unsettling part


Is that the weirdest shit is still to come
The worst is yet to happen

You may question your own actions


You're just a fly, the little guys, they kill for fun

Unimportant, trivial talk

Empty, meaningless words


Totally fucked
In deep trouble
