Lunachicks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why me? I don't know!
Why me? I don't know!
Why me? I don't know!
If something's broken you gotta fix it!
If something's broken you gotta fix it!
If something's broken you gotta fix it!
'cause I hide and I cry and I try
When I hide and I cry want to die
I keep it down, down, down, down, down
I keep it down, down, down, down, down
Was it a lie?
How low can you go, how low?
Why me? I don't know!
Why me? I don't know!
Why me? I don't know!
Why me? I don't know!
If something's broken you gotta fix it!
If something's broken you gotta fix it!
If something's broken you gotta fix it!
If something's broken you gotta fix it!
'cause I hide and I cry and I try
When I hide and I cry want to die
I keep it down, down, down, down, down
I keep it down, down, down, down, down, down, down
Was it a lie?
How low can you go, how low?
Why me? I don't know!
Why me? I don't know!
Why me? I don't know!
Why me? I don't know!
If something's broken you gotta fix it!
If something's broken you gotta fix it!
My heart is broken and I can't fix it!
Why...
If something's broken you gotta fix it!
If something's broken you gotta fix it!
If something's broken you gotta fix it!
If something's broken you gotta fix it!
Why me? Why me?
The Lunachicks' song "Why Me" is a punk rock anthem that speaks to the feeling of frustration and helplessness when things seem to be going wrong in life. The repeated phrase "Why me? I don't know!" emphasizes a sense of confusion and bewilderment at the unfairness of it all. The song encourages taking action to fix what's broken, rather than simply hiding and crying, but acknowledges the difficulty of doing so.
The phrase "how low can you go" is a play on words, referencing both the emotional depths the singer is feeling and the limbo dance move where one must bend as low as possible. The line "my heart is broken and I can't fix it" speaks to the feeling of being unable to control or repair the hurt and pain we experience in life.
Overall, the song's message is one of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. It acknowledges the challenges of life but encourages action and a refusal to give up.
