You Never Swam
Dive into Life's Depths: Embracing the Unswum Journey
Lyrics
You never swam
You never engaged in swimming
Worth a damn
Your swimming skills were not impressive
In the pool
Refers to the swimming pool
You would dip a toe
You hesitated to fully immerse yourself
And then you'd go
After trying briefly, you left, finding it uncomfortable
"It's cold, it's not cool"
Expressing discomfort with the cold water
You
Repetition for emphasis
You
-You never swam
Reiterating your lack of swimming experience
Woo!
An enthusiastic exclamation
So you never owned a suit
You never owned a swimsuit
Never felt that cute
You never experienced the feeling of looking attractive in a swimsuit
In a one-piece
Refers to a one-piece swimsuit
You stayed home instead
You chose to stay home instead of participating in swimming activities
And played on your bed
You spent time playing on your bed with a specific toy/game
With a Barrel of Monkeys
Reference to a specific toy/game, Barrel of Monkeys
You
Repetition for emphasis
You
-You never swam
Emphasizing your lack of swimming experience again
Yeah!
An enthusiastic expression
It's so hot
Describing high temperatures
It's so hot
Repetition for emphasis on the heat
It's so hot
-But you were never taught
You were never taught how to cope with the heat
Woo!
An enthusiastic exclamation
So you never knew
You lacked knowledge or experience in swimming
You never knew
Repetition for emphasis on lacking knowledge
The joys of swimming
You never experienced the pleasures of swimming
You sat by the pool
You sat by the pool but didn't participate
And played with the tool
You engaged with a tool used for skimming the pool
They use for skimming
A playful reference to pool maintenance equipment
You
Repetition for emphasis
You
-You never swam
Reiterating your lack of swimming experience
