Catastrophe
Forever the Sickest Kids Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up your a drama queen
Carry on like your supposed to be
Get away hurry up come on
Get away

How long have you been in your bedroom?
It's been three days straight with your sheets and your pillows
The crack on the walls a reminder of my father and all his integrity

I know that I shouldn't let it get to me (But it does and who am I kidding)
A dead end job unlike a family
This town gets to me

Wake up your a drama queen
Carry on like your supposed to be
Get away hurry up come on
Get away gotta get up and bail
Break out from the drama scene
Stick around and you'll bury me
Get away hurry up come on
This is becoming a catastrophe

I've made up my mind took time to think of everything I could do
It may be hard but I'm trying hard to comprehend where I quit and where I should begin

I know that I shouldn't let it get to me (But it does and who am I kidding)
A dead end job unlike a family
This town gets to me

Wake up your a drama queen
Carry on like your supposed to be
Get away hurry up come on
Get away gotta get up and bail
Break out from the drama scene
Stick around and you'll bury me
Get away hurry up come on
This is becoming a catastrophe

This is becoming a catastrophe

Your a fake
A product of a no good
Average mistake
To come and remain

I know that I shouldn't let it get to me (But it does and who am I kidding)

Wake up your a drama queen
Carry on like your supposed to be
Get away hurry up come on
Get away gotta get up and bail
Break out from the drama scene
Stick around and you'll bury me

Get away hurry up come on
This is becoming a catastrophe

Overall Meaning

The song “Catastrophe” by Forever the Sickest Kids talks about a person who is stuck in a monotonous life, which they want to break out of. The lyrics suggest that the person feels trapped, with a constant reminder of the past, and feels like he is not going anywhere. The song urges the person to wake up and break away from this toxic routine that is slowly becoming a catastrophe.

The first few lines of the song point out the dramatic behavior of the person, who is probably lost in his own thoughts and emotions. The crack on the walls represents a memory that still haunts and bothers the person. The town he lives in, his job, and the routine are all antagonizing, and he knows he needs to get out of this misery before it's too late.

The chorus of the song repeatedly urges the individual to wake up and break away before everything spirals out of control. The line: ‘This is becoming a catastrophe,’ becomes more pleading as the song goes on, which highlights the urgency of the situation. The person needs to take control of their life, break from the drama scene, and take charge to create their own path to success.
