Stuck
Puffball Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was immortal, to win was my fate.
I could have slowed down but the pace felt fine.
I look back but I won't allow myself to whine.
IT'S ALWAYS EASY TO BE SMART
WHEN THINGS ARE DONE.
NOW I'M STUCK AND MORE
I was drunk, eager to be brave.
One jump and I'm tied down like a slave.
And now I roll through everyday.
I can't move but I'm alive anyway.
IT'S ALWAYS EASY...
The song "Stuck in 2-3" by Puffball is about the feeling of being trapped and unable to move on from a situation that once seemed exciting and full of potential. The first stanza describes a time when the singer was in "poleposition" and everything looked great, but something went wrong and now they are "stuck" and "locked up." The second stanza uses the metaphor of being "drunk" and taking a risky jump that ended up tying the singer down "like a slave." Despite being unable to move, the singer is still alive and has to find a way to cope with their circumstances.
The chorus, "It's always easy to be smart when things are done, now I'm stuck and more locked up than a con," highlights the idea that it's easy to make good choices and feel confident in hindsight, but when you're stuck in a predicament, it's not so simple. Being "more locked up than a con" suggests a feeling of being trapped like a prisoner, unable to escape.
The tone of the song is one of frustration and resignation. While the singer accepts their situation, they still feel the weight of their captivity. The overall message is that taking risks can lead to consequences that are difficult to escape, but it's important to keep pushing forward and make the best of what you have.
