Dissection of The Squid Letra

How they love to mark the end of a star that they created!

You Gerbalists should die.
Your words are only lies.
Your work is just a guise.
You cut me down to size.
Say my career is over?
Say that the squid is done!
Squidboy is a has-been now.
You cute me down, down to size!

I washed up on the shore just to wash up on the screen.
I died for the sake of Progress.
Now Progress wants me to die again?
Well, I guess it had to end sometime
But it seems to soon and it seems so cruel.
Come to think of it, I never made an impact.
This squid feels he's just begun!

All I am is foam, foam upon the rock.
I may as well have died. I may as well have died on it.
All I am is foam, foam upon the rock.
I may as well have died. I may as well have died.
Hey, maybe I did?
