How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“FUCKMYLIFE666” is a song and single from Against Me!’s 2014 full-length, Transgender Dysphoria Blues. The song expresses singer Laura Jane Grace’s concerns about the stability of her relationship with her wife, Heather Gabel, following her coming out as transgender. The song is addressed to Heather.

The title of this track, which Jeremy D. Larsen of Pitchfork described as a “MySpace username as song title,” was inspired by singer Laura Jane Grace’s now-deceased friend, Pope. She told FMQB:

“Fuck my life” is something that he would say all the time. Whenever he got frustrated, he would say, “Ah, fuck my life!” and storm out of the room or whatever, so the title was very much a tribute to him. He was into stuff like “666” and all that, so that song in particular isn’t about him, but the song “Dead Friend” is.

Genius Answer

[FUCKMYLIFE666] was the last song I wrote for the record, and the one I struggled most, lyrically, to get right, because I was trying to say a very specific thing. With the record being 70% pre-coming out and 30% after, this was very much an after song.

It’s about realising the way that already, this is affecting my relationships, and the way it’s changing them, and, um. The worry of knowing that you are who you’ve always been, but other people are now seeing you in a different way, and worrying about the people you love, whether they’re going to continue to love you in the same way, or you know, the person that you’re attracted to, whether they’re going to continue to be attracted to you, and… you know, it’s terrifying and there’ve been a lot of changes in my life that are heartbreaking, that have been a part of my transition.
