Super Fish
Swimming Dreams: The Tale of a Little Girl Who Believes She's a Fish
Lyrics
There is a little girl
Introduction of a young girl
Who thinks she's a fish
Girl identifies as a fish
She's a really good swimmer
Emphasis on her swimming skills
But she's stuck in the human body
Contrast between her fish identity and human body
She's such a cool kid
Positive description of the girl
Always smiling and laughing
Highlights her joyful and carefree nature
There is nothing we can do for her
Powerlessness to change her fish belief
She thinks she's a fish
Reiteration of her belief as a fish
She made her fins, with some fabric
Creation of fins with fabric
Never using her hands
Avoiding the use of hands in her fish-like behavior
So every morning, she's asking for fish food
Her daily routine involves asking for fish food
She made her tail, with some plastic
Additional detail about her fish-like appearance
She looks pretty funny
Humorous description of her appearance
She's sleeping in a shell, and she's the queen of the human fish
Symbolic portrayal of her as the queen of the human fish
Schoolmates make fun at her
Highlighting social challenges and bullying
They scoff at her scales
Mocking her fish scales
She tries to be indifferent
Her attempt to remain unaffected by ridicule
And repeats herself she's better
Self-affirmation despite criticism
She made her fins
Reiteration of making fins, emphasizing persistence
Hey little girl
Direct address to the little girl
Please never stop swimming
Encouragement for the girl to keep swimming
Hey little girl, little fish
Repetition of addressing the girl as both "little girl" and "little fish"
Will you catch me with your super fins
Asking if she will catch with her super fins, suggesting admiration
One day she got mad
Turning point – the girl reacts angrily
She throwed her scales on their faces
Symbolic act of defiance by throwing fish scales
Little fish became a crazy shark
Transformation into a fierce entity, a crazy shark
Begging for flesh and blood
Desire for retaliation and aggression
Hey little girl
Reiteration of encouragement to keep swimming
Please never stop swimming
Repeated plea for persistence
Hey little girl, little fish
Repetition of addressing the girl as both "little girl" and "little fish"
Will you cacth me with your super fins
Asking if she will catch with her super fins, possibly with an added sense of urgency
