Life Aquatic
Depths of Solitude: A Bottom Feeder's Reflection
Lyrics
That’s me, the bottom feeder
Describing oneself as a person with low status or worth.
Thirteen miles underwater
Metaphorically submerged 13 miles underwater, emphasizing extreme isolation.
Can’t see nothing when your this deep
Expressing the inability to see anything due to profound depth.
Why I live here is a mystery
Pondering the mysterious reason for choosing such a challenging life.
But here I am, sifting through the seabed
Engaged in searching through the seabed for remnants or discarded items.
For what’s been left behind
Continuing the pursuit of what others have left behind.
It’s a dull life but it’s my life
Acknowledging a monotonous existence but claiming it as one's own.
Feeding off the bottom, feeding off the bottom
Reiterating the theme of sustaining oneself from the bottom, possibly metaphorical or literal.
And that’s me, picking at some whale bones
Engaged in examining remnants of whale bones, highlighting their diminished state.
Well what’s left of them at least
Reflecting on the scarcity of whale bones, suggesting others have taken most of them.
See the big fish got here first
Observing that larger, more capable entities have already exploited available resources.
‘Cus they’re better then me, they’re all better then me
Expressing a sense of inferiority compared to others in the same environment.
It’s a rough life, feeding off the bottom
Describing the hardships of surviving at the bottom, emphasizing one's lack of competence.
When you’re already out of your depth
Acknowledging the difficulty of the situation, given one's inadequate abilities.
But it’s my life,
A resigned acceptance of the difficult life being lived.
I suppose...
Conveying a sense of resignation and acknowledgment of the current state.
And that’s me, just a little too deep
Describing oneself as being in an excessively deep and isolating position.
Man is it lonely, the life of a leach
Expressing the loneliness associated with the life of a leech or parasite.
Especially when there’s nothing else around here
Highlighting the absence of any other life forms in the immediate surroundings.
Not a soul, not a sound just the water
Emphasizing the complete solitude, with only the sound of water being present.
And even though it’s rough
Recognizing the difficulties of the situation but noting the absence of alternatives.
There’s still no swimming up
Despite the challenges, acknowledging the impossibility of swimming upwards.
See the pressure of the water, man, it’s weighs a fucking ton
Describing the immense pressure of the water and its overwhelming weight.
And I’m way to weak to fight it, man I’m way to weak to try
Expressing personal weakness and the futility of resisting the water's pressure.
So that’s me, the bottom feeder
Repeating the self-identification as a bottom feeder, emphasizing the challenging environment.
Thirteen miles underwater
Reiterating the extreme depth, emphasizing the isolation and difficulty of the situation.
Can’t see nothing when your this deep
Restating the inability to see anything due to profound depth.
Why I live here is a mystery
Reiterating the mystery behind the choice to live in such a challenging environment.
