Seize a Shark
Emotional Depths Explored: Future Islands' 'Seize a Shark' Unraveled
Lyrics
I go to bite your hair
The singer attempts to reach out or grab someone's attention.
Who would outweigh
Questioning who or what has greater influence or significance.
You turned your head so fast you broke my neck
The person's abrupt movement caused emotional distress to the singer.
T-t-t-turned, turned me to the nightlife
Being turned or influenced by the nightlife and its allure.
Look away and the day is cold
Ignoring or averting one's gaze results in a cold, unwelcoming day.
Sea my eyes fall out of my head
Metaphorically losing sight of reality, feeling disoriented or disconnected.
So fast they roll away
The rapid pace at which things are changing or escaping the singer's control.
T-t-t-turned me, turned me fucking inside
Feeling deeply affected or transformed internally by someone or something.
Another Saturday with you
Spending time together on another Saturday.
Another Saturday--I'm missing you all night
Longing for the person throughout the night on Saturdays.
I'm missing in my life
Feeling a sense of emptiness or absence without the person in life.
Another Saturday with you
Repeating the experience of spending Saturdays together.
Mistaking pain for the feeling I'm missing
Confusing emotional pain with the sense of longing or absence.
You all night, another autumn day
Longing for the person during autumn days and nights.
Fishing in your life
Metaphorically trying to find or engage with the person's life or experiences.
Ooh you fucking turned me
Expressing the impact of someone's influence with intensity.
Ooh you fucking turned me
Reiteration of being profoundly affected or changed by someone.
I go to bite your hair
Repeated attempt to grab someone's attention or connect.
Who would outweigh
Questioning who or what holds more importance or influence.
You turned your head so fast you broke my neck
Similar to line 3, someone's swift action causing distress.
T-t-t-turned me, turned me fucking inside
Reiteration of internal transformation due to external actions.
Another Saturday with you
Repeating the experience of spending Saturdays together.
Another Saturday--I'm missing you all night
Feeling the absence of the person intensely during Saturday nights.
I'm missing in my life
Sense of emptiness or lack without the person in life.
Another Saturday with you
Repeating the longing or desire to spend Saturdays together.
Mistaking pain for the feeling I'm missing
Confusing emotional pain with the absence of the person.
You all night, another autumn day
Longing for the person during autumn days and nights.
Fishing in your life
Metaphorically attempting to engage with the person's life or experiences.
You fucking turned me, ooh you fucking turned me in my life
Intense impact or transformation caused by someone's actions in life.
You fucking turned me, another autumn day
Reiteration of longing for the person during autumn days.
Fishing in your life
Metaphorically trying to engage with or be a part of the person's life.
