Lyrics
Underneath the bridge
The person is situated beneath a bridge.
The tarp has sprung a leak
A covering (tarp) under the bridge has developed a hole or gap.
And the animals I've trapped
The singer has caught animals and kept them confined.
Have all become my pets
These captured animals have now become the singer's companions or dependents.
And I'm living off of grass
The singer is subsisting on grass as a form of sustenance.
And the drippings from the ceiling
The singer collects and consumes the water droplets falling from the ceiling.
It's okay to eat fish
A philosophical comment suggesting it's permissible to eat fish as they're perceived not to experience emotions.
'Cause they don't have any feelings
A repetition of the notion that fish don't possess feelings, implying it's justifiable to eat them.
Something in the way, mmm
Repetition of the phrase "Something in the way" possibly hinting at an intangible barrier, an unexplained feeling, or an obstacle that affects the singer's life.
Something in the way, yeah, mmm
-Something in the way, mmm
-Something in the way, oh, mmm
-Underneath the bridge
-The tarp has sprung a leak
-And the animals I've trapped
-Have all become my pets
-And I'm living off of grass
-And the drippings from the ceiling
-It's okay to eat fish
-'Cause they don't have any feelings
-Something in the way, mmm
-Something in the way, oh, mmm
-Something in the way, mmm
-Something in the way, oh, mmm
-Something in the way, mmm
-Something in the way, oh, mmm
-Something in the way, mmm
-Something in the way, oh, mmm
-Something in the way, mmm
-Something in the way, oh, mmm
-Something in the way, mmm
-Something in the way, oh, mmm
