Lyrics
INTRO
Introduction
So vagarious you know
Describing something unpredictable or erratic
I mean its literally inside a tube of water
Highlighting a specific setting: inside a tube of water
your in the eye of the wave
Metaphorically being in a challenging or intense situation
It's terrifying, It really is
Expressing fear or anxiety about the situation
But it's also exhilarating
Contrasting the fear with excitement
And extremely psychedelic
Describing the experience as intense and mind-altering
CHORUS
Chorus - Emphasizing being on the wave
On the wave
Repetition for emphasis
On the wave
On the wave
-extremely psychedelic
Reiteration of the intense and mind-altering nature
VERSE
Verse - Repeating the contrasting feelings of fear and excitement
It's terrifying, It really is
Reiterating the fear of the situation
But it's also exhilarating
Emphasizing the excitement of the experience
Im only a mammal
Acknowledging the human, vulnerable aspect
extremely psychedelic
Reiteration of the intense and mind-altering nature
CHORUS
Chorus - Repeating the theme of being on the wave
On the wave
Repetition for emphasis
On the wave
On the wave
-extremely psychedelic
Reiteration of the intense and mind-altering nature
Right
Expression of agreement or affirmation
Right

-I used to be a surfer
Personal disclosure: the speaker used to be a surfer
You know
Indicating familiarity with the subject
First and foremost
Emphasizing the importance of surfing in the speaker's identity
You know
Indicating a shift in perspective
And now I might think, well
Reflecting on the current state of being a mammal
now I really a mammal
Reiteration of the human, vulnerable aspect
