Across The Sea Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Clitoroid 

Cover art for Across The Sea lyrics by Weezer

Rivers said the song was about masturbating to the girl's picture. When the song gets really slow, and he talks about shaving his head and trying to be a monk and assuring his mom he's a good little boy, it reflects the guilt he feels after committing the act.

That part makes the song a lot more telling. Like, maybe he's this lonely, awkward guy who can't get a girlfriend in real life even though he's got teenagers in Japan writing him fan letters. Or maybe he just really gets off on how absurd and ridiculous and disgusting it is to fawn over a random Japanese fan who sends him a picture.
