Stuck
Gypsy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
my sons never knew their uncle, cause I didn't know my brothers
I never got to tell you , but I’ve always regretted you and hated you
I hope you're in a better place, and I hope that this helps me find peace.
no matter what I do I can't get away from here
no matter what I try I'm stuck with two feet in the flood
no matter what I try I'm stuck with two feet in the flood
Lost all patience while waiting for death
16 months have tested me and broken me, and I'm not who I thought I was
a perfect person left me here, full of mistakes
so now I'm done, figuring out right from wrong.
no matter what I do I can't get away from here
no matter what I try I'm stuck with two feet in the flood
no matter what I do I can't get away from here
no matter what I try I'm stuck with two feet in the flood
In "Stuck in 2-3," Gypsy sings about being trapped in a difficult situation with no escape. The lyrics express feelings of regret and resentment towards a family member who has passed away, causing the singer to feel stuck in the past. The first verse reveals that the singer was "damned & shamed" for loving someone who was deemed inappropriate by their family. They didn't know their brothers and as a result, their sons never knew their uncle. The singer carries the weight of this isolation and loneliness and blames their family for it. They feel guilty for not telling this person that they loved them and hated them at the same time. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer is stuck in a place they cannot escape, despite their best efforts.
In the second verse, the singer is waiting for death and has lost all patience. They have been tested and broken for 16 months and feel lost and confused about their identity. The singer blames someone who they thought was perfect for leaving them with their mistakes. They declare that they are done trying to figure out what is right and wrong. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing that no matter what the singer does, they cannot escape their situation.
The song overall explores themes of regret, family, and feeling stuck in a situation with no end in sight. The singer expresses a longing for peace and closure in their life.
