Stuck
U.S. Distress Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been a long time
Since the day
You and I
Were away
It's a dream
We had before
We were a team
But I guess not anymore
Oh I'm happy that you're happy but it makes me uncomfortable
And now I'm won'drin if you ever really loved me at all
Too true to you
But to me, it's like a fantasy
You moved on so good
But I didn't, and I will never
I'm stuck here forever
Too true
To
You
Too true
To
You
I'm stuck
It's been a while
Since the day
You and I
Slipped away
It was a nightmare
The one I never had before
And even though you seemed to care
It doesn't matter anymore
Coz if you're happy then I'm happy though makes me feel uncomfortable
I want to meet you just to tell you that I loved you with my all
Too true to you
But to me, it's like a fantasy
You moved on so good
But I didn't, and I will never
I'm stuck here forever
Too true
To
You
Too true
To
You
I'm stuck here forever
What could possibly go wrong here
It's all good now
My heart's already in it's worst state of lonely
But I'm happy for you baby
Too true to you
But to me, it's like a fantasy
You moved on so good
But I didn't, and I will never
I'm stuck here forever
Too true
To
You
Too true
To




You
I'm stuck here forever

Overall Meaning

In U2's song "Stuck in a Moment," the singer is addressing someone who is stuck in a difficult time in their life. The singer is not afraid of the challenges that the world can throw at them, but they empathize with the person who is struggling. The singer is searching for a "decent melody," or a meaningful solution to their problems, that they can relate to on a personal level.


The singer also acknowledges that the person they're addressing is not a fool, but they need to stand up for themselves and take control of their life. The tears they've shed are going nowhere, and they need to get themselves together and find a way out of their current situation. The singer recognizes that the person they're addressing is worried, but they're worrying about things that they don't really need at the moment.


The last verse speaks to the singer's own experience with falling into difficult moments. They describe being unconscious and half-asleep, falling into a deep water that may initially feel warm until they discover how deep it really is. The singer assures the person they're addressing that this moment will pass, and they will find a way out of it.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm not afraid of anything in this world
I am not scared of any challenge or obstacle that may come my way


There's nothing you can throw at me
No matter what you try to do to me or what life may throw at me, I am strong enough to handle it


That I haven't already heard
I have already been through so much that nothing can surprise or intimidate me


I'm just trying to find a decent melody
I am simply searching for a good tune to sing along to when I am alone


A song that I can sing in my own company
I want to find something that I can enjoy singing when I am by myself


I never thought you were a fool
I never underestimated your intelligence or abilities


But darling, look at you
However, I am now disappointed in how you are handling yourself


You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
You need to take responsibility for your own life and be strong


These tears are going nowhere, baby
Crying won't solve anything, it's just wasted emotion


You've got to get yourself together
You need to pull yourself together and be strong


You've got stuck in a moment
You are currently trapped in a difficult situation


And now you can't get out of it
You are struggling to find a way out of your current situation


Don't say that later will be better
You cannot keep putting off dealing with your problems, hoping they will go away on their own


Now you're stuck in a moment
You are currently trapped in a difficult situation


And you can't get out of it
You are struggling to find a way out of your current situation


I will not forsake, the colors that you bring
I appreciate the unique qualities that you bring to our relationship


But the nights you filled with fireworks, they
However, the excitement and passion we shared before is now gone


They left you with nothing
Those exciting times did not lead to a long-lasting sense of fulfillment or happiness for you


I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I still find your positive qualities and personality appealing


I listen through your ears
I try to see things from your perspective


And through your eyes I can see
I gain new insights by understanding the way you view the world


And you are such a fool
Despite your good qualities, you are acting foolishly in your current situation


To worry like you do, oh oh
You are excessively anxious and it is not helping you


I know it's tough
I am aware that you are facing difficult challenges


And you can never get enough
But you need to stop seeking more than what is truly necessary


Of what you don't really need now, my oh my
You need to prioritize what is truly important instead of chasing after irrelevant things


Oh love, look at you now
My affection for you has not diminished even as you are struggling


I was unconscious, half asleep
I was not fully aware of the gravity of the situation until recently


The water is warm till you discover how deep
Things may seem comfortable at first, but can quickly become overwhelming once you fully realize the extent of the difficulty


I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
I did not willingly put myself in this situation, it came about unexpectedly


It's a long way down to nothing at all
The situation could potentially lead to a lot of pain and suffering


And if the night runs over
Even if things get harder


And if the day won't last
Even if it feels like it will never end


And if our way should falter
Even if our plans and goals do not work out


Along the stony pass
On this difficult journey


It's just a moment, this time will pass
This is just a temporary situation that will eventually come to an end

To be fair, the very least you can learn is emergency procedures. I'm going to reply what I believe I know from memory, then look it up and edit my comment: "Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! This is [name of ship], we are at [coordinates], we are sinking fast, we have 9 souls on board. Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!" [repeat, wait for response on radio - make sure you let go of the 'talk' button]. Edit: It's this: “MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY”

“THIS IS… ”
(say the name of your vessel 3 times. Say your MMSI number and call sign)

“MAYDAY, THIS IS…”
(say name of vessel)

“MY POSITION IS…”
(latitude and longitude, true bearing and distance from a known point, or general direction)

“I AM…”
(say nature of distress eg SINKING, ON FIRE)

“I REQUIRE IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE”

“I HAVE…”
(say number of persons on board PLUS any other useful information – such as sinking, flares fired, abandoning to liferaft)

“OVER”
So even from memory, I was mostly right. Not difficult to remember - mayday X 3, details of ship X 3, location (if you can say a fixed point nearby, it can help, rather than JUST the coordinates), nature of emergency, number of people plus any useful stuff. I know there's the bit about immediate assistance but nobody should be doing a mayday call if they don't actually need urgent assistance, so it kinda goes without saying that someone doing a mayday call needs urgent assistance.

“You need to do something”

Well let’s see, you could start off by checking the daily marine reports before taking your crew and passengers out.

I hope during the past two years individuals using their radio have learned proper mayday, request for assistance, and reporting procedures.
