Big Blue Sea Lyrics

Woke up in a stupor
Guess it's time to face the pooper
Sometimes I feel like superman
Sometimes I’m just recuperating

My head is twisting in its cage
My mind feels like a twenty gage
I hope it's just a passing stage
My hearts not red it's beige

And its days like this that burn me
Turn me inside out and learn me
Not to tell you anything I think I know
But I think I’ll tell you all that I know

I tried to tell you all about it
I thought you might've heard I doubt it
Everyday’s a waste I know
And everyday's a funeral

I'm cut down I’m feeling lost
I've lost my mind I’m Mr. Frost
I've collected all the evidence
I'm off the edge I’m on the fences

And its days like this that burn me
Turn me inside out and learn me
Not to tell you anything I think I know
But I think I’ll tell you all that I know
I wanna be alone I want to be a stone
I wanna sink to the bottom of the ocean
Lie there with you til I'm gone

At the bottom of the big blue sea
Just you and me
At the bottom of the big blue sea
At the bottom of the big blue sea
Just you and me
At the bottom of the big blue sea

I know I’ll never know nobody
Better than I know myself
But I can't even figure out
Just what the fuck I’m all about

I'm sinking, I’m swimming no wait a minute
I'm drowning no I ain't kidding around
Sometimes I think I'm gonna make it
Sometimes I fake it

And it's days like this that burn me
Turn me inside out and learn me
Not to tell you anything I think I know
But I think I'll tell you all that I know
Anywhere and everywhere
Made up my mind it's getting weird
It's queer to think it might not
Get much better than today I fear
I won't ever know true happiness
I tried so hard I did my best
But my best wasn't good enough
Oh God I hate this stuff

And its days like this that burn me
Turn me inside out and learn me
Not to tell you anything I think I know
But I think I’ll tell you all that I know
And I wanna be alone I want to be a stone
I wanna sink to the bottom of the ocean
Lie there with you til I'm gone

At the bottom of the big blue sea
Just you and me
At the bottom of the big blue sea
At the bottom of the big blue sea
Just you and me
At the bottom of the big blue sea

Said it's days like this that burn me
Turn me inside out and learn me

And it's days like this that burn me
Turn me inside out and learn me
Not to tell you anything I think I know

Woke up in a stupor 
Guess it's time to face the pooper 
Sometimes I feel like superman 
Sometimes I’m just recuperating

My head is twisting in its cage 
My mind feels like a twenty gage 
I hope it's just a passing stage 
My hearts not red it's beige

And its days like this that burn me 
Turn me inside out and learn me 
Not to tell you anything I think I know 
But I think I’ll tell you all that I know

I tried to tell you all about it 
I thought you might've heard I doubt it 
Everyday’s a waste I know
And everyday's a funeral

I'm cut down I’m feeling lost 
I've lost my mind I’m Mr. Frost 
I've collected all the evidence 
I'm off the edge I’m on the fences

And its days like this that burn me 
Turn me inside out and learn me 
Not to tell you anything I think I know 
But I think I’ll tell you all that I know
I wanna be alone I want to be a stone 
I wanna sink to the bottom of the ocean 
Lie there with you til I'm gone

At the bottom of the big blue sea 
Just you and me 
At the bottom of the big blue sea
At the bottom of the big blue sea
Just you and me
At the bottom of the big blue sea

I know I’ll never know nobody 
Better than I know myself 
But I can't even figure out 
Just what the fuck I’m all about

I'm sinking, I’m swimming no wait a minute 
I'm drowning no I ain't kidding around
Sometimes I think I'm gonna make it 
Sometimes I fake it

And it's days like this that burn me 
Turn me inside out and learn me 
Not to tell you anything I think I know

Made up my mind it's getting weird 
It's queer to think it might not 
Get much better than today I fear

And its days like this that burn me 
Turn me inside out and learn me 
Not to tell you anything I think I know

And I wanna be alone I want to be a stone 
I wanna sink to the bottom of the ocean
Lie there with you til I'm gone

At the bottom of the big blue sea 
Just you and me 
At the bottom of the big blue sea
At the bottom of the big blue sea
Just you and me
At the bottom of the big blue sea

Said it's days like this that burn me 
Turn me inside out and learn me

And it's days like this that burn me 
Turn me inside out and learn me 
Not to tell you anything I think I know

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this is about a guy who's really bummed out and going through a tough time. The only thing getting him through is his relationship, and even sinking to the bottom of the ocean and lying with her till they're gone is better than facing everything else.

I don't think this is neceserily about a relationship at all. I don't think the "you" has to refer to a girl, or a person, even. I think this is about him kind of just tuning out from the world and just kind of being.

Woke up in a stupor Guess it's time to face the pooper

He's recovering from opiates/opioids/heroin. You're sick like the flu with stomach probs.

This whole album is centered around recovering from heroin. Hence his song 'Getting Better'.
