"Shitty Situation" by Guttermouth is a song with lyrics that depict a series of unfortunate events and questionable actions. The song follows the perspective of a character named Mark who finds himself in various challenging situations. In the first verse, Mark's car gets stolen, but he tries to maintain a positive attitude by seeking enjoyment in drinking at a bar. He suggests that if someone buys him a drink, he will have a great time despite his difficulties. The chorus mentions "chronic constipation" and "viewing others art" metaphorically, implying that Mark feels stuck and disconnected from others. He declines invitations and expresses a need for a fresh start, insinuating that he wants to move away from his current circumstances. The second verse continues with another unfortunate situation, where Mark mentions that someone he knows can no longer drive. He contemplates taking advantage of the situation by either calling a cab or stealing their keys, indicating a possible inclination towards wrongdoing. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing Mark's dissatisfaction and desire for change. In the bridge, Mark reveals a darker side to his character. He considers becoming an "unsuspecting victim" by stealing people's wallets or purses and taking advantage of their belongings. He introduces himself as "desperate and alone," suggesting that his actions may be driven by desperation. The final verse highlights Mark's lack of judgment by mistaking someone for a potential romantic interest. He implies that he tries to take advantage of the situation by going through their purse. The repetition of the line "Now I'm going through your purse" emphasizes this unethical behavior. Overall, the song portrays a character navigating through a series of unfavorable circumstances while displaying questionable morals and intentions.
