Stuck
Emerald Caro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I close my eyes and dream about a sunny holiday
I wish that I was beachin' down on Saint Tropez
Or sitting in the lobby at the fabulous Pierre
With diamonds on my fingers and not a single care

Instead I'm on the Avenue where nobody goes
With fields of green that wilted like a last summer rose
Some people call it paradise, but I call it pain
Baby take me anywhere, but not here again

Why am I sitting in the middle of nowhere
Standing here with nothing to do
Wondering if I really love you, oh oh
I guess that I do
Why am I sitting in the middle of nowhere
Standing here with nothing to do
Wondering if I really love you, oh oh
I guess that I do

You promised me a motorcade and endless perfume
A palace in Geneva with a perfect view
And dreams painted yellow like the colour of gold
And dine with kings and queens until the food gets cold

Instead I'm on the edge of all I thought I would be
This dream is now a comedy I don't wanna see
Some people call it laughter but I call it pain
Baby take me anywhere but not here again

Why am I sitting in the middle of nowhere
Standing here with nothing to do
Wondering if I really love you, oh oh
I guess that I do
Why am I sitting in the middle of nowhere
Standing here with nothing to do
Wondering if I really love you, oh oh
I guess that I do

Oh I do

I know we have a chemistry
This combination's heavenly
But don't forget you promised me
Everything, everything
I know we have a chemistry
This combination's heavenly
But don't forget that you promised me
Everything

Why am I sitting in the middle of nowhere
Standing here with nothing to do
Wondering if I really love you, oh oh
I guess that I do
Why am I sitting in the middle of nowhere
Standing here with nothing to do




Wondering if I really love you, oh oh
I guess that I do

Overall Meaning

The song "Stuck in 2-3" by Emerald Caro is a melancholic reflection of unfulfilled promises and dreams. The song is about a woman who is dissatisfied with her current life and wishes to be in a better place. She yearns for luxury, travel, and adventure, but finds herself stuck in a place that she calls "nowhere." The singer remembers the promises made to her by a lover, which included things like endless perfume, palaces in Geneva, and dining with kings and queens. With a rueful tone, she realizes that these promises are like a dream that has morphed into a comedy.


The lyrics of the song suggest that the singer feels stuck in a life that is far from what she had imagined for herself. She is unhappy with her current situation, which is depicted as a place with fields of green that wilted like a last summer rose. The song's chorus beautifully captures the singer's sense of inner conflict. She states that she is "sitting in the middle of nowhere" and "standing here with nothing to do," all the while wondering if she loves her partner anymore. Then, in a moment of clarity, she acknowledges that she does still love him.


To sum up, "Stuck in 2-3" is a poignant song about unfulfilled promises and a life lived far from one's dreams. It expresses the singer's yearning for something more and her growing disillusionment with her current situation, while also exploring the complexities of love and commitment.
