Their music cried out from the darkest of depths for someone anyone to listen to their hardcore anthems of sorrow, heartbreak and violence. Unlike many of their hardcore contemporaries, Horror Show truly lived the pain of their songs every day. Deeply rooted in late night quarrels and their city's urban decay, Horror Show were a sign of hope in an otherwise bleak and barren world.
After the release of their debut CD/7"EP, "Our Design", Horror Show toured the east coast U.S. in support of the release. They also played a number of memorable hometown shows and made an appearance at the memorable Deathwish/Bridge 9 Festival in 2003.
In late 2004, Horror Show released their "The Holiday" 7"EP on Deathwish, which came to be their final recordings.
Members of the band remain active in music today.
Stuck Again
Horror Show Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've made my choice now
I'm out of roads now I guess
Time passed me by
Much to fast too realize
That everything comes back to haunt
Changing lines you thought you knew
Erasing pictures that you drew
Maybe I will never be
Somebody's everything
I would try but it's too
Late to fucking start
Not another sad song
Just words from my heart
I get knocked down and I'm tired
And I don't want to get back up
It's a bit discouraging knowing
You never gave a fuck
Stuck again
The lyrics to Horror Show's Stuck Again paint a picture of a person who feels trapped in their current situation, with no clear way out. The first two lines suggest that the singer has made a decision that has led them to this point and that they are now without options. The line "time passed me by much too fast to realize" suggests regret for not taking action sooner. The phrase "everything comes back to haunt" implies that the singer is dealing with the consequences of past actions or decisions.
The next lines "changing lines you thought you knew, erasing pictures that you drew" suggests that the singer has been forced to change their plans or goals, and that things they once held dear have now been erased or lost. The line "maybe I was meant to be nothing, maybe I will never be somebody's everything" is a particularly poignant one, as it highlights the singer's feelings of worthlessness and insignificance.
The lines that follow, "I would try but it's too late to fucking start, not another sad song, just words from my heart," suggest that the singer has come to terms with their situation, but still wants to express their feelings. The final lines "I get knocked down and I'm tired, and I don't want to get back up, it's a bit discouraging knowing you never gave a fuck, stuck again" suggest that the singer has lost hope and feels that they are alone in their struggles.
Overall, the song's lyrics deal with themes of regret, loss, and hopelessness. It is a somber and introspective piece that speaks to anyone who has ever felt trapped or like they are not good enough.
Line by Line Meaning
Stuck again, nowhere to go
Feeling trapped with no options for progress or escape
I've made my choice now
Having made a decision that may have led to the current predicament
I'm out of roads now I guess
Having exhausted all possible paths and options
Time passed me by
Unable to keep up with the fast pace of life
Much too fast to realize
Living in the moment and not realizing the fleeting nature of time
That everything comes back to haunt
Consequences of past actions resurfacing to cause difficulty in the present
Changing lines you thought you knew
The unpredictability of life and how it can lead to unexpected changes
Erasing pictures that you drew
The undoing of hopes and dreams that were once thought achievable
Maybe I was meant to be nothing
Feeling worthless and insignificant
Maybe I will never be somebody's everything
Doubting the potential for strong relationships and genuine connections with others
I would try but it's too late to fucking start
The fear of failure and regrets over missed opportunities in life
Not another sad song, just words from my heart
Expressing emotions in a genuine, authentic way
I get knocked down and I'm tired
Feeling exhausted and defeated after repeated struggles
And I don't want to get back up
Feeling discouraged and lacking the motivation to keep pushing forward
It's a bit discouraging knowing you never gave a fuck
Feeling unsupported and uncared for by those who should have shown concern
Stuck again
Reiterating the feeling of being trapped and unable to move forward
