All Fucked Up
Jared Fairfield/Afraid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So you think you've done so well
To reach the end
When all you did for your whole life
Was pretend
Well let me tell you my friend
That's not how it works
And you don't get to try again
Did you ever consider what would happen
When it came to this?
And suddenly you've lost everything
You spent your whole life living for
Something now is telling me
You tried your very best
But only for yourself and no one else
That's what you regret
You don't get any exceptions
Because of who you were before your life ended
Rich and famous, no one cares
Cause we'll all be underground someday
They may all be crying but you know
They never cared for you
Now they all pretend they do
Just because the whole world's mourning you
Something now is telling me
That you have your regrets
But soon hell will be taking you right in
Into it's depths
You don't get any exceptions
Because of who you were before your life ended
Rich and famous, no one cares
Cause we'll all be underground someday
And you don't get to decide
Where you end up when you die
I know you're sick and tired and it's not fair
But we all end up the same way
I just hope this all won't go away
And I will make the best of every day
I've got to be better than I was yesterday
If I do that then everything
Will be okay
So let me tell you, my friend
That's not how it works
And you don't get to try again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "All Fucked Up" by Jared Fairfield/Afraid convey a powerful message about self-reflection, regret, and the impermanence of life. The singer addresses someone who believed they had succeeded in life, only to realize that they had been living a facade. The lyrics suggest that true fulfillment cannot be achieved through selfish pursuits and deception, and that it is essential to authentically live for something greater than oneself.


The song challenges the listener to consider the consequences of their actions and the legacy they will leave behind. The notion of facing the end and losing everything one has lived for serves as a stark reminder of the inevitability of mortality. The lyrics point out that external validation and material success ultimately hold no weight in the face of death, emphasizing the importance of genuine connections and meaningful contributions to others.


The theme of regret permeates the song, as the singer reflects on the idea that one cannot escape the consequences of their choices, regardless of their status or accomplishments. The verses also highlight the futility of seeking exceptions or special treatment based on one's past life, as death is a universal equalizer that disregards earthly distinctions like wealth or fame.


Towards the end of the song, there is a shift in perspective as the singer turns inward, expressing a sense of personal responsibility and determination to make the most of each day. The lyrics embrace the idea of growth, self-improvement, and the pursuit of a life lived authentically and with purpose. The message encourages the listener to strive for continuous self-betterment and to embrace the transient nature of existence with a sense of resilience and optimism.


Overall, "All Fucked Up" offers a poignant commentary on the complexities of human existence, urging listeners to confront their true selves, make amends for past mistakes, and actively engage in the ongoing process of self-discovery and growth. Through its raw honesty and introspective tone, the song serves as a powerful reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of living with intention and integrity.
