Lyrics
Sometimes I feel like a fish out of water
Sometimes the speaker feels out of place and uncomfortable.
Where I can't breath and I can't see straight.
The discomfort is intense, making it difficult to breathe and see clearly.
My hands are clammy and my head is spinning dizzy

I think it has to do with something that I ate.
The discomfort is attributed to a possible food-related issue.
The government is putting poison in my coffee.

So they can hunt me, mount my head up like a trophy.

Sometimes at night I get the feeling that I'm not alone
The speaker feels a sense of unease at night, sensing unseen presences.
I see things moving in the corner of my eye
The speaker perceives movement but finds nothing when they turn to look.
But when I turn to look that something always disappears
The mysterious presence always disappears, leaving the speaker anxious.
And I am left with wetness running down my thigh
The anxiety is so intense that it causes physical reactions, like wetness running down the speaker's thigh.
Someones watching, waiting, hiding in the shadows

Someday he'll hit me with his band of crazy psychos
Anticipation of an attack by a mysterious figure and their band of crazed individuals.
Intent on my demise
The attackers have harmful intentions towards the speaker.
When I had friends I had to keep this cool demeanor
The speaker used to maintain composure in front of friends to hide doubt.
I mustn't let them see the doubt upon my face
The speaker must conceal doubt from friends, as they have been replaced by impostors.
You see my friends have been replaced by clever doubles
The friends have been replaced by clever doubles who are part of an alien conspiracy.
Who are members of a spawn who come from deep dark outer space
The replacement friends are members of an extraterrestrial spawn.
They're body snatchers, life is imitating art now
A reference to the concept of body snatchers, with life imitating art.
And Donald Sutherland, I guess I'm play his part now

That everyone is out to get me

If paranoia is the result of simply knowing the truth

Then how I feel could become paranoia
The speaker fears that their feelings could escalate into full-blown paranoia.
I could prove these things if I could dig up the proof

Its a good thing my brothers cousin's a lawyer
