Lyrics
When you grab a hold of me
Feeling trapped or controlled by someone
You tell me that I'll never be set free
Being told that freedom is unattainable
But I'm a parasite
Self-identifying as a parasite, possibly feeling burdensome
Creep and crawl I step into the night
Engaging in secretive or sneaky behavior at night
Two pints of booze
Consuming alcohol
Tell me are you a badfish too?
Asking if the listener is also a rebellious or nonconforming individual
Are you a badfish too?
Reiterating the question, emphasizing the theme of rebellion
Ain't got no money to spend
Expressing a lack of financial resources
I hope the night will never end
Wishing for a never-ending night, possibly avoiding problems
Lord knows I'm weak
Acknowledging personal vulnerability or flaws
Won't somebody get me off of this reef
Pleading for assistance or escape from a difficult situation
Baby, you're a big blue whale
Comparing someone to a massive, majestic but potentially overwhelming entity
Grab the reef when all duck diving fails
Seeking refuge when faced with challenges
I swim, but wish I'd never learned
Expressing regret or disillusionment about acquired knowledge
The water's too polluted with the germs
Referring to polluted or contaminated experiences
I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead
Taking risks despite potential dangers
Grab the reef underneath my bed (it's underneath my bed)
Using the reef metaphorically as a support or safety
Ain't got no quarrels with God
Claiming a lack of conflicts with spirituality
Ain't got no time to grow old
Emphasizing a desire to stay youthful
Lord knows I'm weak
Repeating personal weakness, seeking assistance
Won't somebody get me off of this reef
Reiterating the plea for help or escape
Ain't got no quarrels with God
Repeating the absence of conflicts with spirituality
Ain't got no time to get old
Repeating the desire to stay youthful
Lord knows I'm weak
Reiterating personal weakness, seeking assistance
Won't somebody get me off of this reef
Reiterating the plea for help or escape
