Stupid
Trisha Farnan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You stretched your hands out
You laid your head down, neck bared
You said "It's yours"
And now you're crying
Seeking someone to blame
But you should remember
It's not because you're hated
It's not that you're a scapegoat
It's not because your timing was bad
It's not because you've been had
It's because you're stupid
Yeah
It's because you're stupid
You walked onto the highway
You closed your eyes tight
You screamed "fuck you!" and waited
You didn't even fight
And now you're screaming
'Cause you know it's the same
As if you'd waved a red flag
You're losing the game
It's not because you're hated
It's not that you're a scapegoat
It's not because your timing was bad
It's not because you've been had
It's because you're stupid
Yeah
It's because you're incredibly stupid
Oh yeah
The lyrics to Trisha Farnan's song "Stupid" seem to be about someone who has consistently made bad decisions and yet continues to seek blame outside of themselves. The first verse describes the person willingly walking into a dangerous situation, allowing themselves to be consumed by the flames as though they deserved it. Then, they start crying and looking for someone to blame, but the song reminds them that they brought this upon themselves. The second verse paints a similar picture, with the person walking onto a busy highway and screaming obscenities before giving up and accepting their fate. Again, they try to blame others for their misfortune, but the chorus of the song makes it clear that it simply boils down to their own stupidity.
The song is a powerful commentary on personal responsibility and the dangers of self-sabotage. It reminds listeners that they cannot always blame their problems on external factors, and that sometimes the only person to blame is themselves. The haunting melody and straightforward lyrics make for an impactful song that is sure to stick in the minds of listeners.
