My Body Hurts
Sofi Tukker Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And my body hurts
I'm overwhelmed
I complain because I want to and it feels so good to yell
I'm overtired, I overfought
My brain is tired, too much work
No gain and too much thought

I'm still fucked up
I'm still in pain
I throw my clothes against the wall
I woke myself like I'm insane
I let it out, I've gotten loud
I feel a little bit better now

My body hurts
I'm overwhelmed
It feels so good to yell

My body hurts
I'm overwhelmed
I complain because I want to and it feels so good to yell
I'm overtired, I overfought

My brain is tired, too much work
No gain and too much thought

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sofi Tukker's "My Body Hurts" paint a picture of a person stuck in their own head, overwhelmed by thoughts and emotions. The first verse speaks of a restless night, with dreams that never quite allow for true rest. The dreams are so vivid and numerous that they fill up the kitchen, highlighting the intensity of the experience. The second verse goes deeper into the singer's inner turmoil, with too many thoughts leading to a feeling of being trapped in a tumbleweed of the mind. The chorus is a simple and powerful expression of how the singer's body feels: it hurts, they're overwhelmed, and they just want to yell.

It's clear from the lyrics that this song is a reflection on feelings of burnout, exhaustion, and the need for release. The singer's pain is both physical and emotional, and yelling feels like the only way to express and release it. The lyrics also suggest that the singer may have been carrying too heavy a load for too long - many of the phrases suggest a sense of being pushed too far, such as "overtired," "overwhelmed," and "too much work, no gain."

Overall, "My Body Hurts" is a raw and honest depiction of a feeling to which many people can likely relate - getting to a breaking point where the only thing left to do is scream.

Line by Line Meaning

I woke up late, my dreams were loud
I overslept and my dreams were vivid and disruptive

They settled down into the kitchen then I win 'em back to bed
My thoughts settled in the kitchen, but I couldn't fall back asleep

I tried to rest, the dreams came back
I tried to sleep, but the vivid dreams continued

I couldn't learn all of the lessons that I knew I could've had
I couldn't fully process the lessons from my dreams

And once I started, started to think
Once I started to think about my dreams, my mind raced

I got tossed inside a tumbleweed, a many-headed thing
My thoughts felt chaotic and overwhelming

So I'm here on the other side
I'm trying to deal with the aftermath of an overwhelming experience

Feeling fucked up and bridled inside my own mind
Feeling mentally trapped and disoriented

And my body hurts
My body physically aches from the stress and exhaustion

I'm overwhelmed
I feel like I can't handle everything happening in my life right now

I complain because I want to and it feels so good to yell
Venting my frustrations and complaining makes me feel a little better

I'm overtired, I overfought
I'm exhausted, both mentally and physically

My brain is tired, too much work
My brain is fatigued from overthinking

No gain and too much thought
I've been thinking too much without making any progress or finding any solutions

I'm still fucked up
I'm still struggling and feeling overwhelmed

I'm still in pain
I'm still physically and mentally hurting

I throw my clothes against the wall
I express my frustration by throwing objects

I woke myself like I'm insane
I feel like I'm losing control of my emotions

I let it out, I've gotten loud
I express my feelings and vent my frustrations by yelling

I feel a little bit better now
Expressing my emotions has helped me feel slightly more relieved
