Heartworms - Guess I’m Stuck In The Dark Lyrics

In "Guess I’m Stuck In The Dark" by Heartworms, the promise of an electric shortcut collapses into a numb, repetitive admission of being lost. The frantic domestic images, hurling lettuce at a cat and freaking out to Marla, suggest panic breaking through ordinary routine. The repeated command not to think or stop becomes a desperate way to keep moving while avoiding the truth. The dark here is less a place than a state of stalled feeling, where every attempt at a new way of speaking or keeping up only circles back to the same resignation.

Guess I’m Stuck In The Dark Lyrics by Heartworms

Electric shortcut, the cut of electric

I guess I’m stuck in the dark
I guess I’m stuck in the dark
I guess I’m stuck in the dark
I guess I’m stuck in the dark

These are the words I’m thinking of
Some new way of speaking of
Guess I’ll do it then
Guess I’ll do it then

I guess I’m stuck in the dark
I guess I’m stuck in the dark
I guess I’m stuck in the dark
I guess I’m stuck in the dark

These are the times I’m thinking of
Some new way of keeping up
Guess I’ll do it then
Guess I’ll do it then
I guess I’m stuck in the dark

I guess I’m stuck in the dark
I guess I’m stuck in the dark
I guess I’m stuck in the dark

Don’t think, don’t stop
Don’t think, don’t stop
Don’t think, don’t stop
Don’t think, don’t stop

Lurched near the freezer, capturing the crime
Hurling lettuce at the large cat under clock chime
Freaking out to Marla at the same time
Fouling in the mind parlor, mouthing all the rhyme
These are the thoughts I’m thinking of, some new way of giving up

Guess I’ll do it then
I can’t be here again
Guess I’ll do it then
I can’t be here again

I guess I’m stuck in the dark
I guess I’m stuck in the dark
I guess I’m stuck in the dark
I guess I’m stuck in the dark

I guess I’m stuck in the dark
I guess I’m stuck in the dark
I guess I’m stuck in the dark
