Lyrics

So this ain't the end, I saw you again today

Expressing that the situation is not the end; encountered the person again.

I had to turn my heart away

Had to protect oneself emotionally by turning away.

Smiling like the sun kisses pouring in

Describing a cheerful and radiant demeanor reminiscent of sunshine.

And Tales, that never fail.

Referring to reliable and captivating stories or experiences.


Your lying so low in the weeds,

Accusing someone of deceit, hiding in wait.

I bet you think your going to ambush me

Suspecting an attempt to surprise or trap the speaker.

You'd got me down, down, down, down on my knees

Feeling defeated and submissive, possibly by deceptive actions.

Oh child, Barracuda

Addressing the person as "Barracuda," possibly implying cunning or predatory behavior.


Back over time we were doing fine,

Reflecting on a past when things were going well, but the other person didn't reciprocate feelings.

I see you never fancied me

Observing that the person never had romantic interest.

No right no wrong selling a song

Suggesting that the focus is on success, with no regard for moral considerations when selling a song.

A name wins the game

Emphasizing the significance of a name in the entertainment industry.


And if the real thing don't do the trick

If genuine efforts fail, one should come up with a substitute quickly.

You'd better make up something quick

Warning of consequences if an alternative is not devised promptly.

Or your gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn into the wind

Describing a potential downfall or failure, akin to burning into the wind.

Oh, barracuda

Repeating the reference to the person as "Barracuda," reinforcing the predatory connotation.


And if the real thing don't do the trick

Reiterating the need for a quick solution if authenticity fails to achieve the desired result.

You'd better make up something quick

Stressing the urgency to devise an alternative to avoid negative consequences.

Or your gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn into the wind

Repeating the warning of facing severe consequences if no alternative is presented.

Oh, barracuda

Reaffirming the reference to the person as "Barracuda," concluding the song with a warning or acknowledgment of their cunning nature.
