| Sublime – Badfish Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
The song is about knowing you always do the wrong thing and not having the inner strength to change your ways alone. "When you grab a hold of me Tell me that I'll never be set free But I'm a parasite, Creep and crawl I step into the night." [committing adultery] "Two pints of booze Tell me are you a badfish too? Are you a badfish too? Ain't got no money to spend I hope the night will never end" [getting drunk and partying despite not really having the money to burn] "Lord knows I'm weak Won't somebody get me off of this reef" [lacking strength to better oneself] "Baby you're a big blue whale" [feeling swallowed alive] "Grab the reef when all duck diving fails" [failing to cut through lifes hurdles (the waves), and so using whats available (the reef) to maintain stability] "I swim, but wish I'd never learned The water's too polluted with germs" [carrying on despite despising reality (the ocean)]ff "I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead Grab the reef underneath my bed (it's underneath my bed)" [feeling in over ones head and resorting to drugs] |

|
i'm gonna fight 'em off a seven nation army couldn't hold me back they're gonna rip it off taking their time right behind my back (discovery of a long term betrayal (possibly a love affair) by those who were trusted) and i'm talking to myself at night because I can't forget back and forth through my mind behind a cigarette and the message coming from my eyes says leave it alone (being driven insane thinking about it, cant forgive, cant forget, but acknowledging that they had their reasons (love?) ) Don't want to hear about it every single one's got a story to tell everyone knows about it from the queen of england to the hounds of hell (everyone knew about it, i feel so betrayed, don't want to hear your excuses) and if i catch you comin' back my way i'm gonna sell it to you and that ain't what you want to hear but that's what i'll do and the feeling coming from my bones says mind your own (stay away, dont know what ill do if I see you again... feel like i should run from pain before i snap) i'm going to wichita far from this opera forever more (self explanatory) i'm gonna work the straw make the sweat drip out of every pore and i'm bleedin' and i'm bleedin' and i'm bleedin' right before the lord (Ive done nothing to deserve this and the toll of your betrayal on me has not gone unnoticed by the lord) All the words are gonna bleed from me and I will THINK no more. and the stains coming from my blood tell me go back home (I will stay busy and keep my mind occupied, but I miss home and the way things were) |
