Story Behind The Song

Written after moving into a new place in a new neighborhood with a whole new set of problems than what we were accustomed to in the city where we formerly lived. Plus, Aquaman's the best Super Hero because he swims.

Song Description

Using Aquaman and swimming as metaphors, this song describes the frustration of trying to get much needed sleep, and the stubborness involved in the same pursuit.

Lyrics

TITLE: Aquaman

VERSE:
Catch me if you can
I am Aquaman
I don't want to come up
I won't break the surface for life or death

This is no easy trick
Watch the numbers click
Shark swimming Martyr
I'm a school boy built for water

BRIDGE:
Searching for a lullaby
Lovely and tender
Lights are out my mind is dim
Down where the fishies swim

VERSE:
Here comes my nemesis
He's a classic nemesis
He's everything that I'm not
He's got a real cool gun and a deadly shot

CHORUS:
But I've got webbed feet digging for the depths (no noise)
Side-slung bottle, watch those steps
No Noise, No Noise, No Noise, No Noise I pray
Hey Hey Hey

BRIDGE:
Rockabye upon the waves
Salty and tender
Lay me down my soul to keep
In the rapture of the Deep

VERSE:
Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah, yeah, yeah
They're on my tail but I don't care
Check me out Neptune
Triple Gainer with a double-half twist

CHORUS:
I Kick the covers and grit my teeth (no noise)
Waiting for the plunge of sweet relief
Silencio, Silencio Silencio
Silencio Silencio
Silencio, pray, I pray
