Sponge Lyrics

Pleasure is melting like chocolate
My blue ribbon gumption is gone
All my gravy must have soaked into something
And the world

The filthy steps, the cold concrete
The phony earth below my feet
The ancient odor of the street
Yes the world, world, world it is a sponge
Yes the world, world, world, world, world it is a sponge

And when the crisis passes
When the coast is clear
I'll be buffed down to a liquid
And the world, world, world it is a sponge
Yes the world, world, world, world, world it is a sponge
Yes the world, world, world, world, world it is a sponge

Throughout this entire ugly outing
I've been mumbling the convex of what I should be shouting
But I'll soon be silent you'll soon hear nothing
'cause the world, world it is a sponge
The world, world, world, world, world it is a sponge
The world, world, world, world, world it is a sponge

Cover art for Sponge lyrics by Vic Chesnutt

Its still amazing how many ppl totally dont recognize Vic music in 2025..... even in the USA. Anyway. I think this song is a big metaphor to talk about how our lives are ephimerous from the beggining till the end. Because it talks about how the world basically sucks off all our lives at eventually will do or has done with our ancesters. We basically die and the earth claims our organic tissues and sh*t... is an amazing and at the same time scary brilliant song.

My Interpretation
Positive
Subjective
Enjoyment
Recognition
Metaphor
Life
Mortality
Brilliance
