Lyrics

Warm sun feed me up

Seeking comfort and nourishment from the warmth of the sun

I'm leery loaded up

Feeling cautious, loaded with apprehension

Loathing for a change

Disgust or hatred towards the current situation, desiring a change

And I slip some

Falling further into a state of dissolution or intoxication

Boil away

Gradually disappear or disintegrate


Swallowed, followed

Engulfed or consumed by something

Heavy about everything but my love

Feeling burdened or weighed down by everything except love

Swallowed, sorrowed

Overwhelmed with sorrow or grief

I'm with everyone and yet not

Feeling present among people but still disconnected

I'm with everyone and yet not

Similar to line 10, expressing a sense of disconnection despite being present

I'm with everyone and yet

Reiterating a feeling of being present yet detached


Just wanted to be myself

Desire to express oneself authentically

Hey you said you would love to try some

Someone expressing interest in trying something new

Hey you said you would love to die some

Someone expressing a willingness to experience danger or risk

In the middle of a world on a fishhook

Feeling trapped or ensnared in a chaotic world

You're the wave, you're the wave, you're the wave

Metaphorically referencing a powerful force or influence


Swallowed, borrowed

Engulfed or consumed by something borrowed or acquired

Heavy about everything but my love

Feeling burdened by everything except love

Swallowed, hollowed

Emptied or feeling devoid of emotions or substance

Sharp about everyone but yourself

Critical or judgmental of others but not introspective

Swallowed, oh no

Expressing distress or dismay

I'm with everyone and yet not

Feeling present among people but still disconnected

I'm with everyone and yet not

Similar to line 25, expressing a sense of disconnection despite being present

I'm with everyone and you're not

Feeling disconnected when surrounded by everyone

I'm with everyone and yet

Reiterating a feeling of being present yet detached


Piss on self-esteem

Disregarding one's self-worth or value

Forward busted knee

Advancing despite physical or emotional injury

Sick head, blackened lungs

Feeling mentally distressed and physically unhealthy

And I'm a simple selfish son

Describing oneself as a self-centered individual


Swallowed, followed

Engulfed or consumed by something

Heavy about everything but my love

Feeling burdened by everything except love

Swallowed, oh no

Expressing distress or dismay

I'm with everyone and yet not

Feeling present among people but still disconnected

I'm with everyone and yet not

Similar to line 38, expressing a sense of disconnection despite being present

I'm with everyone and yet not

Reiterating a feeling of being present yet detached


Got to get away from here

Desire or need to escape the current situation

Got to get away from here

Repetition emphasizing the need to leave

Got to get away from here

Strongly emphasizing the urgency to depart

Got to get away from here

Continued insistence on the necessity to escape


Miss the one that I love a lot

Feeling a profound longing for a beloved person

I miss the one that I love a lot

Repeatedly expressing the depth of missing someone dearly

I miss the one that I love a lot

Continued expression of deep affection for the missed person

I love

Expressing love
