As an integral part of any song, lyrics act a way for artists to divulge their thoughts with listeners, but with so many songs out there, how can you be sure to hear all of these messages?

To grasp these hidden meanings, we have asked Sam Edwards to showcase some of their favourite, original lyrics and are pleased to feature them as part of our Waxing Lyrical series.

Today’s Waxing Lyrical With Sam Edwards dives into the lyrics of their song ‘Stuck’.

Stuck

Sam Edwards

Meaning

This song is the first song I wrote off my upcoming EP 24/7. I wanted to capture the real first world problems for people my age in lockdown and try to make a song that is catchy with an element of humour that people can enjoy and relate to during the strange time of life. It originated as an idea for a TikTok video to upload on my account but enough people enjoyed it for me to be able to make it a full song. Although probably a song with less deep meaning than I am used to writing I hope it captures how a lot of us are feeling right now.

Lyrics

Stuck right in the middle

But the sun shines bright in the window

Can we pause this virus a little?

Why has the rain stopped while we are in lockdown?

Stuck in our own homes

And we all have nowhere to go

When will it end? Oh, we don’t know

Making a TikTok while we are in lockdown

Wait, where has all the time gone?

This virus has gone off like a time bomb

“I wanna go outside for a while mum”

“Gotta stay safe inside for a while son”

On the bright side we can play games

Or make a relatable song that is just flames

Or binge watch TikToks made by me

Anybody want to join? I’ll take names when we’re all

Stuck right in the middle

But the sun shines bright in the window

Can we pause this virus a little?

Why has the rain stopped while we are in lockdown?

Stuck in our own homes

And we all have nowhere to go

When will it end? Oh, we don’t know

Making a TikTok while we are in lockdown

I used to think Corona was a cold joke

Now I’m stuck in my house watching old shows

Wanna Uber Eats food but did you know

I can’t get a BigMac cos it’s all closed

I ain’t risking my health so I distance myself and I’m learning to go it alone

I’ll just make beats now for a few weeks

How are we gonna speak?

Yeah, over the phone, when we’re all

Stuck right in the middle

But the sun shines bright in the window

Can we pause this virus a little?

Why has the rain stopped while we are in lockdown?

Stuck in our own homes

And we all have nowhere to go

When will it end? Oh, we don’t know

Making a TikTok while we are in lockdown.
