Woman Trouble

I feel fantastic, bombastic,
Ecstactically astounded
How a girl can really lose her brain
I feel surrounded, confounded
Emotionally dumbfounded
To think you've nearly won your game

Oh yeah, you said that I have
Been gone too long
Don't try to tell me
That I was wrong (re-e-mix)
Totally, wrong for me
Got the hurt in my face
Now I know the only thing to do
Is to give myself some space
I bet she never told you everything that drifted through her mind
All the secret thoughts
Well I bet you never caught her sliding with another man
Because I did
No no, I hate to see the way the finger points at me
I'm at fault, I don't think so
After all is said and done girl
You know you've had your fun
Why don't you leave it there

I feel fantastic, bombastic,
Ecstactically astounded
How a girl can really lose her brain
I feel surrounded, confounded
Emotionally dumbfounded
To think you'd nearly won your game

I feel fantastic, bombastic,
Ecstactically astounded
How a girl can really lose her brain
I feel surrounded, confounded
Emotionally dumbfounded
To think you've nearly won your game

Oh yeah
You say you had a girl, with problems
Tell me, did it lead to heartache and confusion? (re-e-mix)
Did you wake up in tears
Not knowing where you are?
Did you, get it in the ear, like I did?
Like I did
I bet she never told you everything that drifted through her mind
All the secret thoughts
Well I bet you never caught her sliding with another man
Because I did
No no, I hate to see the way the finger points at me
I'm at fault, I don't think so
After all is said and done girl
You know you've had your fun
Why don't you leave it there

I feel fantastic, bombastic,
Ecstactically astounded
How a girl can really lose her brain
I feel surrounded, confounded
Emotionally dumbfounded
To think you'd nearly won your game

I feel fantastic, bombastic,
Ecstactically astounded
How a girl can really lose her brain
I feel surrounded, confounded




Emotionally dumbfounded
To think you've nearly won your game

Overall Meaning

The song "Sputnik" by Stylus Trouble is about a woman who has caused the singer to feel emotionally overwhelmed and confused. Despite feeling surrounded and confounded by her behavior, the singer is starting to see through her manipulations and realizes that he needs to distance himself from her. He implies that she has been dishonest and unfaithful, and he resents being blamed for their troubles. The chorus repeats the phrase "I feel fantastic, bombastic, ecstatically astounded," conveying the mixed emotions brought on by love and betrayal.


The lyrics suggest that the woman in question is seductive and manipulative, causing the singer to doubt his own judgement. He questions whether the other man was aware of her true motives and secret thoughts, suggesting that she is not to be trusted. The repeated refrain of feeling "dumbfounded" underscores the singer's emotional vulnerability, and the final line encourages the woman to leave the past behind.


Overall, "Sputnik" is a cautionary tale about toxic relationships and the importance of recognizing when someone is not trustworthy. The lyrics are poetic and engaging, drawing the listener into the singer's emotional journey.
