Totally Fucked
Jonathan Groff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're fucked
Not an inch more room
To self destruct
No more moves, oh, yeah
The dead end zone
Man, you just can't call
Your soul your own
But the thing that makes you really jump
Is that the weirdest shit is still to come
You can ask yourself, "Hey what have I done?"
You're just a fly, the little guys, they kill for fun
Man, you're fucked if you just freeze up
Can't do that thing, that keepin' still
But you're fucked if you speak your mind
And you know, uh-huh, you will
Yeah, you're fucked all right and all for spite
You can kiss your sorry ass goodbye
Totally fucked, will they mess you up?
Well, you know they're gonna try
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Disappear, yeah, well, you wanna try
Wanna bundle up into some big ass lie
Long enough for them to all just quit
Long enough for you to get out of it
Yeah, you're fucked all right and all for spite
You can kiss your sorry ass goodbye
Totally fucked, will they mess you up?
Well, you know they're gonna try
Yeah, you're fucked all right and all for spite
You can kiss your sorry ass goodbye
Totally fucked, will they mess you up?
Well, you know they're gonna try
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Totally fucked
The song "Totally Fucked" by Jonathan Groff and Company is a raw and intense moment in the musical "Spring Awakening" where the characters reach a breaking point. The lyrics describe a feeling of being trapped in a dead end zone, with no room for self-destruction. The singer realizes that the weird and unexpected things are yet to come, and questions if they deserve what has happened to them.
The song also portrays the anxiety of speaking your mind, but at the same time, being afraid to freeze up. In this situation, you're screwed either way. The singer is aware that everyone is out to get them and that they will do everything possible to bring them down.
The final verses of the song express the desire to disappear, to cover up and wait for everything to be over. However, the realization that you're already doomed to stay in that situation, and no matter what you do, there's no escape, is heartbreaking.
Line by Line Meaning
There's a moment you know
You reach a point of no return
You're fucked
There is no way out
Not an inch more room
No more options left
To self destruct
To bring about your own downfall
No more moves, oh, yeah
You have hit a dead end
The dead end zone
There is nowhere left to go
Man, you just can't call
You have lost control
Your soul your own
You feel like you have lost yourself
But the thing that makes you really jump
What shocks you the most
Is that the weirdest shit is still to come
There are more unexpected things to happen
You can ask yourself, "Hey what have I done?"
You question your decisions and actions
You're just a fly, the little guys, they kill for fun
You are insignificant and easily dispensable
Man, you're fucked if you just freeze up
You cannot afford to hesitate
Can't do that thing, that keepin' still
You must take action
But you're fucked if you speak your mind
Expressing your thoughts will get you into trouble
And you know, uh huh, you will
You cannot hold yourself back
Yeah, you're fucked all right and all for spite
You are doomed, perhaps even as punishment
You can kiss your sorry ass goodbye
You must prepare for the worst
Totally fucked, will they mess you up?
Your situation is hopeless and people will try to make it worse
Well, you know they're gonna try
You expect others to be cruel
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Meaningless filler
Disappear, yeah, well, you wanna try
You want to escape
Wanna bundle up into some big ass lie
You consider deception as a way out
Long enough for them to all just quit
To make others give up or lose interest
Long enough for you to get out of it
To gain an advantage or an escape route
Totally fucked
Hopelessly trapped
