Fuck Dantooine Is Big
Marietta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But don't hold your breath, misguided notions of what I do best come to mind,
Leading me to see, nothing except the back of that formal piece of shit.
Well I'm done, so convince someone else.
They're functionless. Every part of a made up mess. Well if Doc said to me that I'm not worthless,
I bet that I can finally prove it; those fingernails are growin' into my skin.
Those pair of lenses know that my head is still talkin'.
I hope I sleep tonight. And I hope you keep fiendin'
Over the white and red miserable death pumpin' in your chest.
Wasting away any trace of normal blood so the fingers feel drunk,
Erasing any prospect that the rest of life will feel less numb.
We'll make it out, it's been too many days,
We're all fed up inside our graves. No we won't, I tried enough to know we won't.
Give it up, I tried enough so give it up.
(We'll make it out, it's been too many days,
We're all fed up inside our graves.)
I've got my head back.
I've got my head back, again.
I'm thinkin' of the time when everyone was yellin' for us to stop bein' such pests.
Andy is outside looking at his insides, and Alex moved out west.
When you're alone eatin' your own throat, does it hurt, this much to laugh?
Talking to yourself and made up names, telling you "We'll be right back."
The lyrics to "Fuck Dantooine Is Big" by Marietta are quite introspective and emotional. The first few lines express a desire to heal and become mentally healthy but also a sense of skepticism that this can ever truly be achieved. The singer seems to be haunted by past failures and struggles with self-worth, which has resulted in a deep sense of frustration and disillusionment. This is further reinforced by the line, "They're functionless. Every part of a made-up mess," which suggests a feeling of aimlessness and a lack of purpose.
The song also touches on themes of addiction and the difficulty of breaking free from destructive patterns of behavior. The singer is struggling with a profound sense of sadness and a feeling of being trapped, with no way out. The line, "Wasting away any trace of normal blood so the fingers feel drunk," implies a desire to numb the pain, but also a realization that this is only making things worse. Ultimately, the song ends on a note of tentative hope, with the singer suggesting that they have "got their head back" and that they may be able to find a way out of their struggles.
Overall, "Fuck Dantooine Is Big" is a powerful and moving exploration of mental health, addiction, and the struggle for self-worth. It is a song that speaks to the deep pain and isolation that many people feel when they are struggling, but also offers a glimmer of hope that things can get better.

Leave me in therapy, maybe someday i'll be okay, (or) fit for release.
I need therapy to work through my issues, and maybe one day I'll be mentally healthy enough to function in society.
But don't hold your breath, misguided notions of what I do best come to mind, Leading me to see, nothing except the back of that formal piece of shit.
Don't have too much hope for me, as I struggle with my own self-worth and my past mistakes haunt me. And because of that, I see nothing encouraging in my future.
Well I'm done, so convince someone else. They're functionless. Every part of a made up mess.
I'm done trying to fix myself, so don't bother trying to convince me otherwise. And even if I did try, I feel like I would fail because every part of me feels like a mess.
Well if Doc said to me that I'm not worthless, I bet that I can finally prove it; those fingernails are growin' into my skin.
If my therapist were to tell me that I have value, maybe I would finally believe it. But for now, I'm so anxious that I'm biting my nails until they bleed.
Trembling like a headache. I'm awake feelin' nostalgic; Those pair of lenses know that my head is still talkin'.
I'm constantly anxious and can't relax. I'm even losing sleep over my thoughts, and my glasses are a reminder that my mind won't stop racing.
I hope I sleep tonight. And I hope you keep fiendin' Over the white and red miserable death pumpin' in your chest.
I hope I can finally get some rest tonight. But meanwhile, I hope that you keep craving drugs that slowly destroy your heart and your soul.
Wasting away any trace of normal blood so the fingers feel drunk, Erasing any prospect that the rest of life will feel less numb.
Drinking yourself to death has numbed you so far that you can barely feel your fingers, and you've lost all hope that life can get better.
We'll make it out, it's been too many days, We're all fed up inside our graves. No we won't, I tried enough to know we won't. Give it up, I tried enough so give it up.
We all feel like we're stuck in a rut and want to escape, but I don't think we will actually find a way out, no matter how hard we try. So we should just give up and accept our fate.
I've got my head back.
I'm starting to feel more clear-headed and less overwhelmed by my thoughts.
I'm thinkin' of the time when everyone was yellin' for us to stop bein' such pests. Andy is outside looking at his insides, and Alex moved out west. When you're alone eatin' your own throat, does it hurt, this much to laugh? Talking to yourself and made up names, telling you 'We'll be right back.'
I'm remembering a time when we were all misbehaving and getting in trouble, and how some of us have moved away or are struggling with our own issues. It makes me wonder if laughing hurts when you're going through tough times, and how talking to yourself as a coping mechanism can feel like you're talking to someone who cares, but you know it's just a delusion.

@Klowpapier
I remembered there was an emo song with that quote in the beginning. Searched for it forever and was sure it was on this album somewhere but just couldn't find it. Turns out it's not on the Spotify version, probably copyright stuff. Well, finally found it here on the YouTube version.
@davciza
just thought you should know, this version is on the 5-year anniversary version of the album, which is on Spotify :)
