Lyrics
I was surfing the ocean blue hanging ten
The speaker was enjoying surfing.
That's five times two went out too far
They went too far into the ocean.
And it was a struggle to get back to the shore
Struggled to return to the shore.
Still out too far and it got dark
They were still far from the shore when it got dark.
I sensed a shark but it was not
The speaker sensed danger but realized it wasn't a shark.
That's when i saw the fagged teeth
They noticed the jagged teeth of a subversive submarine.
Of a subversive submarine tin fish swimming underneath
The "tin fish" refers to the submarine, possibly representing a threat.
I hope it does not feed on me
Concern about the submarine potentially attacking.
What does it want? what does it need?
Questions about the intentions of the submarine.
Please swim, swim, swim away
Pleading for the submarine to swim away.
Somehow made it back to the shore
Managed to reach the shore despite difficulties.
Was badly bruised by the coral floor
Suffered injuries from hitting the coral reef.
That's when I looked out into the distance
The speaker looked into the distance.
To see the tin fish laughing at me
The submarine seemed to mock or taunt the speaker.
Tin fish swimming underneath
Reiteration of the submarine's presence beneath the surface.
It chose not to feed on me
Relief that the submarine didn't attack.
What did it want? what did it need?
Continued curiosity about the intentions of the submarine.
Such a submissive submarine
Describing the submarine as submissive despite its potential threat.
