Stuck Lyrics

Cover art for Stuck lyrics by Magazine

Its a person trapped in a relationship, but he realizes it is a kind of shelter. He wonders why he can't just accept the probably-mute, unreflecting love of the other: "pushing myself so helpless, when i can love you out of weakness." He has lost the ability to receive and return love... (common magazine theme, actually)

The refrain at the end is a favorite. When you're trapped, you ceaselessly repeat the same questions to yourself over and over. The odd guitar harmonies contribute to suspension and anxiety.
