Totally Fucked
Spring Awakening [Original Broadway Cast] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a moment you know...you're fucked
Not an inch more room to self destruct
No more moves, oh yeah, the dead end zone
Man, you just can't call your soul your own
OTTO
But the thing that makes you really jump
Is that the weirdest shit is still to come
You can ask yourself, "Hey what have I done?"
You're just a fly...the little guys, they kill for fun
GEORG
Man you're fucked if you just freeze up
Can't do that thing, that keepin' still
HANSCHEN
But you're fucked if you speak your mind
BOYS
And you know, uh-huh, you will
ALL
Yeah you're fucked all right, and all for spite
You can kiss your sorry ass goodbye
Totally fucked, will they mess you up?
Well, you know they're gonna try
MELCHIOR
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
ALL
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
MELCHIOR
Disappear, yeah well, you wanna try
Wanna bundle up into some big-ass lie
Long enough for them to all just quit
Long enough for you to get out of it
ALL
Yeah you're fucked all right, and all for spite
You can kiss your sorry ass goodbye
Totally fucked, will they mess you up?
Well, you know they're gonna try
Yeah you're fucked all right, and all for spite
You can kiss your sorry ass goodbye
Totally fucked, will they mess you up?
Well, you know they're gonna try
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah
Totally fucked!
The song "Totally Fucked" from the musical "Spring Awakening" is about a moment in life when you feel that things have gone beyond your control and you are powerless to change them. The opening lines, sung by Melchior, indicate that this is a moment you know you're fucked. There is no room left to self-destruct, and you are trapped in a dead-end zone. You can't even call your own soul your own. The song then goes on to illustrate different scenarios in which you might find yourself totally fucked, such as when you freeze up or speak your mind. But the real kicker is that even when you think you have reached the limit of what is possible, there is always weirder shit to come.
The chorus of the song reinforces the feeling of hopelessness that comes from being totally fucked. The lyrics say that you are fucked all right, and all for spite. You can kiss your sorry ass goodbye because they are going to mess you up. The repetition of the phrase "totally fucked" in the chorus reiterates the idea that there is no escape from the situation you are in.
Overall, "Totally Fucked" is a high-energy, angsty song that captures the feeling of being trapped and helpless. The lyrics are relatable, and the music complements the emotional intensity of the song.
