Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Standing here stupid
I feel stupid
Standing here stupid cause I drank too much
I cannot find you
I can’t find you
Think I’m blacked out I can feel the rush

Laaa da da da

Laaa da da da
Laaa da da da
La da da da da
Da da da

Trust me I’m trying
Yeah I’m trying
Trying so hard not to fuck up now
Said that last week but guess I failed you
Cause I’m passed out on the fucking ground

Laaa da da da
Laaa da da da
Laaa da da da
La da da da da
Da da da

Feeling so lazy
I feel lazy
Think I’m still high from the other night
I might be crazy
Might be crazy
I don’t really care cause I feel alright

Laaa da da da
Laaa da da da
Laaa da da da
La da da da da
Da da da

Laaa da da da
Laaa da da da
Laaa da da da

Standing here stupid

Standing here stupid because I drank too much
I cannot find you
I can’t find you
Think I’m blacked out I can feel the rush

Laaa da da da

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ray and Paul Holmberg's song, "Stupid," paints a vivid picture of a night out with someone who may not be the best influence. The song begins with a memory of someone lying on the ground in a "sad story town" with a handkerchief tied around their neck. The singer then offers a solution for hunger and thirst, directing the person to Molly's for bread, wine, and pie. The chorus follows a repetitive pattern of "who knows? who cares? It's raining dumb out there," and the sound of the rain is mimicked through a series of "woo's." The two continue driving past familiar landmarks as the night progresses, with the singer acknowledging a stain left behind from a previous visit. They also hear the sound of the person crying from a distance.

The singer then mentions having only $32 to "get us in the groove", leaving more questions about what exactly they're planning to do. The final verse includes a reference to Maker's, a popular brand of whiskey, and the singer humorously suggests anyone who passes it should tell them hello. They also mention feeling like it's a different day than what the calendar says, and that their memories will serve them well. The chorus repeats a final time, with an emphasis on turning up the "stupid sound."

I'll always remember
I will never forget

You lying on the ground
You were lying on the ground

Your handkerchief neck
The handkerchief was around your neck

In your sad story town
You lived in a town with a sad history

You ever get hungry
Do you ever get hungry?

You ever get dry
Do you ever get thirsty?

Just go on down to Molly's
Go to Molly's

Get some bread, wine, and pie
Get some food

Who knows? Who cares?
Does it really matter?

It's raining dumb out there
It's raining hard

I turn
I reject
