Lyrics
When you grab a hold of me
When someone takes control of my life or emotions.
Tell me that I'll never be set free
Expressing a desire to remain captive or entangled.
But I'm a parasite,
Describing oneself as a parasite, possibly feeling dependent or draining.
Creep and crawl I step into the night.
Engaging in stealthy and deliberate actions as one ventures into the unknown.
Two pints of booze
Consuming alcohol, possibly to escape reality or cope with challenges.
Tell me are you a badfish too?
Asking if the listener shares similar rebellious or non-conformist qualities.
Are you a badfish too?
Reiterating the question, emphasizing the inquiry about being unconventional.
Ain't got no money to spend
Expressing a lack of financial resources.
I hope the night will never end
Wishing for an endless night, suggesting a desire for escapism.
Lord knows I'm weak
Acknowledging personal vulnerability or flaws.
Won't somebody get me off of this reef
Pleading for assistance to escape a difficult situation or mindset.
Baby you're a big blue whale
Metaphorically comparing a significant other to a large, majestic entity.
Grab the reef when all duck diving fails
Suggesting holding onto something stable during challenging times.
I swim, but wish I'd never learned
Expressing regret about gaining knowledge or experience.
The water's too polluted with the germs
Commenting on the contamination of one's surroundings or experiences.
I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead
Diving deep into difficulties when they seem overwhelming.
Grab the reef underneath my bed (it's underneath my bed)
Emphasizing the difficulty by mentioning a reef beneath one's bed.
Ain't got no quarrels with God
Asserting a lack of conflict with religious beliefs.
Ain't got no time to grow old
Expressing a disregard for the passage of time or aging.
Lord knows I'm weak
Repeating the acknowledgment of personal weakness.
Won't somebody get me off of this reef
Reiterating the plea for help to escape a challenging situation.
Ain't got no quarrels with God
Reiterating a lack of conflict with religious beliefs.
Ain't got no time to get old
Emphasizing a lack of concern for the passage of time.
Lord knows I'm weak
Restating personal vulnerability and the plea for assistance.
Won't somebody get me off of this reef
Repeating the plea for help to get out of a difficult situation.
