Stuck
The Gufs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i don't think much about it
i've tried too hard
to redefine the things in life i want
if you could live inside of me
i don't think you would like it
you're much to late to appreciate
all the things i have lost
i'm stuck in the heart of this
i know in that in time
i'm the one you'll miss
and i don't give a damn what you think about me
the things i've said and done
i don't give a damn what you think about me
the things i have become
if i would bend i'd break in two
i'd rather feel unwanted
you're much too late to appreciate
everything i have become
i've found a better place
you can't come in
so get away
i'm stuck in the heart of this
i know in that in time
i'm the one you'll miss
and i don't give a damn what you think about me
the things i've said and done
i don't give a damn what you think about me
the things i have become
on and on and on and on
on and on and on and on
The song "Stuck" by The Gufs captures the feelings of someone who has gone through a lot of personal growth and has come out on the other side feeling independent and somewhat resolute. The singer seems to be addressing someone in the lyrics, saying that they wouldn't understand the way he has grown and the things he has lost to get to where he is now. Despite feeling confident and proud of himself, the singer acknowledges that he is still "stuck" in the middle of this growth, and that it will take time for others to catch up to where he is.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with the singer repeating that he doesn't care what other people think of him or the things he's done. It's clear that he has found a sense of self-acceptance and is learning to let go of the opinions of others in order to continue growing and evolving as a person.
Overall, "Stuck" is a song about the process of personal growth and the difficulties that come with it. It's a rallying cry for anyone who has ever felt misunderstood or judged for the changes they've gone through, and a reminder that it's okay to keep pushing forward even when others don't understand.
