Fucked Up
Godhead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If your instinct's always right.
How about I step aside?
And let you do your thing again.

And if there's nothing that can fool you.
How come you're all alone?
Anything can happen now.
And when you close your little eyes,
They will plunder all your dreams
And take away your teddy bear

I guess you fucked it up.
I guess you fucked it up this time

Monkey see and monkey do.
Now what a fool are you
To do just what they told you to?

And now you know how roles can change.
You used to be so out of range
From anything that brought you down.

Now every time you go to sleep,
You get to feel how this runs so deep.
Makes nightmares out of pretty dreams.

I guess you fucked it up.
I guess you fucked it up this time.

I just wish there was something
That you could say
That could make me care again.

Something that would make me want to get you out of this,
But there is really nothing left of anything we had.

So now you're on your own.
So now you're all alone.
Just like you always wanted it to be.

No one to tell you how to think.
No one to tell you when to stop.
No one to tell you when to think about the fact that you fucked up.
That you fucked up.
About the fact that you fucked up
That you fucked up.
About the fact that you fucked up
That you fucked up again





They're in control now
And there's nothing you can do.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Godhead's song "Fucked Up" are about the consequences of being too sure of oneself and blindly following others' advice without questioning it. The singer is addressing someone who is always right according to their own instinct and never makes mistakes. However, despite their confidence, they end up alone and vulnerable to the whims of others. The singer mentions how this person's dreams and sense of security have been taken away from them, and now they are left with nothing.


The second part of the song reflects on how this person used to be untouchable and above any kind of reproach or criticism. They were able to exist outside of the norms that society imposed on others, but they lost this power when they started to blindly follow the advice of others. They are now haunted by their mistakes and plagued by nightmares.


The chorus "I guess you fucked it up this time" is a harsh reminder that this person's arrogance and lack of critical thinking have lead them to their current situation. The last verse is a realization that there is nothing left that can be done to salvage what they had, and this person is on their own without anyone to guide them.


Overall, the lyrics are a cautionary tale about the importance of critical thinking and not blindly following others' advice or instincts. It shows how easily someone's life can be destroyed if they don't question the world around them.

If your instinct's always right.
If you're so sure of what you're doing all the time.


How about I step aside?
Maybe I should let you do things your own way.


And let you do your thing again.
And let you take control.


And if there's nothing that can fool you.
If you think you can't be tricked.


How come you're all alone?
Why are you isolated from others?


Anything can happen now.
Anything could go wrong at any moment.


And when you close your little eyes,
And when you go to sleep,


They will plunder all your dreams
Your dreams will be invaded and destroyed.


And take away your teddy bear
Something that brings you comfort will be taken away.


I guess you fucked it up.
I suppose you messed things up.


I guess you fucked it up this time
I suppose you've really gone and done it now.


Monkey see and monkey do.
Copying what others do like a mindless animal.


Now what a fool are you
Now you look foolish.


To do just what they told you to?
To follow orders blindly.


And now you know how roles can change.
And now you understand how things can take unexpected turns.


You used to be so out of range

Now whenever you try to rest,


You get to feel how this runs so deep.
You are reminded of how deeply this affects you.


Makes nightmares out of pretty dreams.
Turns beautiful dreams into terrifying nightmares.


I just wish there was something
I only wish there existed something


That you could say
That you could tell me


That could make me care again.
That could make me start to care once more.


Something that would make me want to get you out of this,
Something that would motivate me to help you escape this situation,


But there is really nothing left of anything we had.
But the reality is that there is nothing left of our relationship.


So now you're on your own.
So now you must fend for yourself.


So now you're all alone.
So now you are completely isolated and alone.


Just like you always wanted it to be.
Just like you always desired it to be.


No one to tell you how to think.
No one to influence your own thoughts.


No one to tell you when to stop.
No one to tell you when to quit or slow down.


No one to tell you when to think about the fact that you fucked up.
No one to remind you of the mistakes you have made.


That you fucked up.
That you made a terrible error.


About the fact that you fucked up
Concerning the reality of your mistake.


That you fucked up again.
That you have made another huge error.


They're in control now
They have taken control now.


And there's nothing you can do.
And there's nothing you can do about it.

I heard the radio friendly style first then I found this one on Mp3.com. This is one of those songs you really have to look for by gODHEAD they also did a haunting rendition of Amazing Grace.
