A Song About An Anglerfish
Yes it's true that I once went through lifeAs the guy who always had to rhyme life with strifeYes I've been burned and I've been spurnedAnd through it all, yes I have learnedThat love is not about whether you get stabbedBut how slow the knife gets turnedBut my friends, I've found an animal who doesn't feel this painAnd my life is so much better now that I can feel the sameBecause you can't hate the nightIf you've lived your whole life without lightAnd you can't hate the dishIf you've only ever eaten fishAnd you can't feel alone if it's all you've ever knownYeah the deep sea Anglerfish has no reason to be happyBut it has no frikkin idea what else to beThe deep sea dwelling Anglerfish never has to find a mateThey are always there together when it's time to procreateSee, one dark night a young male bites the female on her sideAnd then slowly he becomes a sperm producing parasiteAnd if we can say he lives at all, he lives until she diesAnd until that day, he literally never leaves her sideLetras de cancionesYeah you can't hate the nightIf you've lived your whole life without lightAnd you can't hate the dishIf you've only ever eaten fishAnd you can't feel alone if it's all you've ever knownYeah, the deep sea Anglerfish has no reason to be happyBut it has no frikkin idea what else to beFor years this rule has kept me out of hopeless despairYou simply do not feel what is always thereI ask my brain to entertain that pain is the sameThat if I feel it all the time, can you really call it pain?I don't have any friends, and I don't have any hairBut neither does the Anglerfish, and she doesn't careBecause you can't hate the nightIf you've lived your whole life without lightAnd you can't hate the dishIf you've only ever eaten fishAnd you can't feel alone if it's all you've ever knownYeah, the deep sea Anglerfish has no reason to be happyBut she has no frikkin idea what else to be From Letras Mania
